snowed in aus-vegas!

Music: Judge Judy

For someone who often misses the Midwestern snows, I have to say nothing cheers like flurries in Austin. This morning it started to snow---fairly hard at my house with huge, fat flakes---and accumulated for about a quarter of an inch. The snow quickly melted (apparently while I was in class) as the temperature increased. Still, I feel just giddy. Fortunately, it's not cold enough to freeze into something dangerous (yet).

The sight of UT and my yard with the white stuff is so strange, especially when I'm caused to reflect on the whopper, triple-digit summer of last. I'm proud of my fellow Longhorns for not canceling class, and that my neighborly Texans didn't completely evacuate the bread and milk from the grocery store.

Still, what a treat! A small gallery here.
