Winter finally arrived in Dallas yesterday. Temperatures all week had been in the 70's but then a cold front blew in and it was only in the 20's when we woke up yesterday morning. None of the precipitation had started yet and schools were open. But by mid-morning, the freezing drizzle started and a few snowflakes were falling. I even had to scrape my windshield to go to lunch (took me all of a minute to clear it off). Businesses started to close at around noon, hundreds of flights were cancelled and some schools closed early. As you can see from this picture of Lauren in our yard that we had a total BLIZZARD! ROFL! I mean, there was at least an eighth of an inch of snow on the ground. It's just so funny to me to me to see how Texans react to a little snow. After living in Canada for 6 years, this was really a joke of a storm. This was big news around here though. Here's an article: Wintry Weather Causes Crashes, Flight Delays, CancelationsBut is seems that all is getting back to normal today. The snow is gone and it's supposed to get into the 50's today.
In other England Family news ... we spent Thanksgiving in Arkansas with Marty's family. We also own a business in Arkansas and Marty and I spent most of Thanksgiving Day setting up a new computer system. Fun stuff!
I have been busy creating a few kits. They should be posted in the Scrap Artist Shoppe this week. And the big news is that my friends of happyrobyn mailing list broke the 500 member mark yesterday! Thank you all for your support of my designs.
that is too funny robyn, I remember that one time I lived in dallas years ago, we had a blizzard like that too, and I could not believe everything shut down. The streets where empty. It was too funny to see. We dont have too much snow, but everything just goes on when it does. hihi.
ReplyDeleteCool picture, and you kit designs are fabulous.

Hi Robyn, Yes...even here in Brisbane Australia we saw on the news the blizards in Texas.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a storm! *giggle*. I wonder if half of the traffic problems are caused by people that just panicked, or didn't know how to drive on ice-or was it THAT bad?
ReplyDeleteI'm an Iowa girl, and this just cracks me up!!
I am glad to see you've braved the storm, girly!
Congrats on your 500!
Your snow there is a bit like when we get snow here -- such a small amount makes the papers and everyone can't cope with driving in it. However they only shut the schools if the heating breaks down or the sewer can't cope and snow doesn't really affect that. LOL
ReplyDeleteOn a different note
