As I mentioned in an earlier post, it has been snowing here in our little slice of Texas. The local NBC news station pre-empted all of today’s programming to bring us on going coverage of the event. Now, I get that this is interesting, but I wondered what they could possibly talk about beyond, “It actually snowed in Texas!” for over six straight hours.

Good Morning Central Texas! I predicted yesterday that there was a slim chance of snow, and it turns out that, for the first time in fifteen years of reporting the weather, my slim chance turned into a likelihood. I guess today’s my day to buy a lottery ticket. Huh? HUH?

If you are just joining us and haven’t been outside, it’s snowing! This is the first snowfall we have seen in Texas since shortly after the battle at the Alamo. Do you remember the Alamo? We do.
Here’s a music montage we found in the video closet about that great battle.

Look at this snowman, will ya?! This picture was sent in from a viewer in, well, I can’t really tell where she’s from. Bob? Can you see if this came with some more info? I’m sure our viewers are interested to know where this picture came from. Just look at him! What’s that they used? Is that a carrot for a nose? That’s something. Really something.

I can’t remember ever seeing it snow like this. My Grandma used to tell me about snow in Kansas.
I loved my Grandma.
Any viewers out there who love their Grandmas and have noticed the snow outside; why don’t you give us a call and tell us about your Grandma…or the snow…or both.
This is all very true, but you can’t help but watch! It is addicting.
I don’t know why I keep turning it on. I guess I would hate to miss it if any actual drama sprang up from this crazy weather. So far, a really well made snowman is about as crazy as things have gotten.
I thought your tv didn’t come on until the kids went to bed. Seems to me it’s on ALL day.
Oh SNAP!!! Looks like Anonymous called you out.
I think that’s just my brother playing the jerk again. No burn like a brother burn.
amy,
The TV remark was not from me. Just someone that must respect your parenting skills so much that they have to find something wrong.
I was hoping you would have a picture of a snowman made by a grandma that we all love. And just so you know from a person living in Kansas. I have seen no snow just sleet. i am so jealous. Tell mom I am moving back for the snow!
Kevin (I always sign my name) Most of the time
I will tell Mom of your plans to move home, though you had better hurry. I bet this snow is all gone by Thursday.
Sorry to blame you for the slight. I should have known you would have left your name.
I love you!
I think you are allowed to run the TV all day if it has been snowing. It is sort of a civil defense rule, to stay in contact with civilization.
What I think is funny is there is not that much snow, so all of the snowmen are like 3-5″ tall.
There was a hill somewhere, where people were riding sleds are cardboard down. That looked like fun! I wish I knew where it was! I wanna do it in between hugging people.
At least your TV works, this is the first time our Dish has become unusable. I think it froze. So now, I rely on the internet for my weather. This while the kids watch Spy Kids.
They weren’t even good snowmen.
Your DISH froze? That’s crummy. Ours is still in working order, making a great excuse to not interact with the kids.
I keep hoping t will come back. Spy Kids went on the fritz but we have watched Homeward Bound and now we are starting Lilo and Stitch. I am such a horrible mother. I am back in the bedroom working. I still have deadlines, with or wothout the ice. Yuck!
