NO SCHOOL TODAY . . . IT SNOWED!

IT WAS 70 DEGREES 3 DAYS AGO.  Yesterday it was 56 degrees BUT late last night there were changes: 
The temperature rapidly droppped to 10 degrees; we had sleet with thunder and lightening, AND THEN SNOW with winds gusting at 45 miles / hour.  The roads are now so icy, and treacherous that all of the schools and Universities announced closures very early this morning..


Did you know that North Central Texas has 4 seasons?
During Winter we typically enjoy a few days of snow but with it comes the icy roads. 
In the Spring it rains alot. 
The summer is really hot . . . and I mean "Dog Day Hot"!
My very favorite season is Fall with 70 degree weather and falling colorful leaves.


Yes, Rural North Central Texas is quite beautiful;  the air quality is pristine, and this sparsly populated corner of the world is not flat!   These gentle rolling hills with an occasional steep incline (and rural roads with little to no traffic)  is reminiscent of  growing up  in New England many many years ago.
