Unbelievable... we had snow starting on the 23rd and ending on the 25th. Out at our place we got 6 inches. In Victoria and Goliad they got 1 foot!!! It's been 186 years for them and it's NEVER happened here. It was so cool to drive into town and see every kid and kid-like person out throwing snowballs AND making snowmen. Since none of these folks had seen snow I'm figurin' that this is genetic memory triggered by the flakes. On Christmas kids were asking stuff like "why is snow dirty now?", I said because the dirt gets on it... Wow I felt soooo sage.
And it was really terrific snow. Not too wet not too dry just great stuff. And Snow on cactus! Must be a new ice age.
