Winter Wonderland

I'm not lopsided, I'm dancin'!
My wife's first snowman!

Children enjoying the snow.

Adults enjoy the snow, too!


Well, it's almost dinner time and the snow is still falling.  We've got about 4 inches now and more on the way.  I convinced my wife to build a snow man and walked her through the highly technical processes involved.  He looks a little lopsided to me, but she insists it's artistic flair and the he is dancing (apparently this snow man is gender specific, however I don't see any obvious signs...).
Meanwhile, down the street, neighbours are playing in the snow as well.  It seems like, for this short span, people are happy and having fun. Really big flakes have started falling...I wonder if my wife has ever been driving in the snow at speed...you know...how the snow makes it look like you are zooming along at the speed of light? It's a bit like what I imagine a passenger on the millenium falcon might experience if they were to look out the front window.

Tree-mendous!

Here's a few pictures I took this morning of the current weather conditions in Plano.  I am always struck by the beauty that snow adds to any environment.  I may post a few more later...we're expecting 2-6 more inches with 3 inches on the ground already!  I get excited about snow because I grew up with it, but here in Texas it's a bit rare.  We usually get a few flurries now and then in the metroplex, so this amount is a treat!
Snowball fight, anyone?
