Week of Winter

Yes, that's right...the week of winter officially has hit the Dallas metroplex! This past weekend our temperatures dropped to around freezing and there was an ice storm warning all weekend for the Dallas/Fort Worth area. You should hear the weather people and their dramatization of it all...the "Winter Blast" ...it's hilarious! Even our pastor was making fun of it all at church on Sunday. The real ice storm didn't hit us until Monday morning, which delayed us for driving to work (we ended up doing a half-day). Then today Morgan ran into my room to wake me up and tell me that there was "tons" of snow outside. Her school got cancelled and the church campus got closed for the day, which means we are not having youth services tonight. Dori says this is the worst winter weather she has seen in a long time. Normally they might cancel school once a year...and school has already been cancelled 2 or 3 times this year. She asked if I brought the winter weather back with me. Most of the snow from this morning has melted off around here, but a lot of the bridges still have ice and snow on them. Dallas is just not used to temperatures in the 20's and 30's. Crazy Texan weather! But, hey, it beats -15 degrees any day!
