Isn't it just beautiful? But wait, where do we live? Oh yeah, that's right, Dallas. What the heck? The city literally shut down for two days and people stood and wondered what to do. Its not like people own snow shovels or blowers and the snow was way wet -- perfect for snowmen and snowballs though. The silence over the city that morning was incredible and I have to admit that even being from Montana --- this was one of the most beautiful morning after snowfalls that I have ever seen. Too bad no one owned sleds or anything either, lol. I might have considered sitting in one as it was about 35 degrees out. Magnificent!
That's the view from the front of the house. Since it had been so warm, the compaction of the snow was pretty tight and had about a 6 inch ice base on the bottom of it. Then the beautiful fluffy white flakes settled on that -- we watched it the day before as it had snowed for 24 hours solid -- Christmas snow came to mind more than once.
After taking some pictures it was time to rescue the trees. Mister was pretty worried about several of them and it was a good thing that he went out and shook them all off ---- we had neighbors everywhere who lost big branches and the crackling of breaking trees is being heard around the city.
All in all --- it was very cool. We bundled up and took a walk to the grocery store for the basic storm foods: milk, bread, and eggs and laughed about it all the way home. Once again -- records were broke everywhere as this was the largest snowfall ever in a 24 hour time period. People everywhere were enjoying it and the time off from work it gave them.
