Amarillo's First Snow

Today Amarillo had the first snow of the season. It was falling pretty heavily at times, but the ground is still to warm for it to really stick. I'm sure the roads will freeze over tonight, but will melt off quickly tomorrow. That's the one good thing about our winter blasts, they don't last very long, at least usually. I think we had about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of snow. It was so fantastic today to be able to stay in snuggled with my pups and drinking hot chocolate. Kevin and I did venture out for about 30 minutest to go to the video store. One thing about the weather it's bitter cold. The actual temperature is ranging in the 20's but with the wind chill it feels more like 8-10 degrees. Again, I reiterate it's wonderful being retired and not having to get out unless I choose to. Here are some pictures I took from today. If you enlarge them you can actually see the snowflakes falling. I took them about 3:30 this afternoon. The snow seems to be lightening up and is expected to stop by later on tonight. Makes me want to sing, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"

Hey Linda, I like your blog. It's adorable. So how do you like the snow? Your pictures are great. I love the brick road in your street. Lovely! May I ask what year you taught at Spearman? It was so nice of you to stop by my blog and leave a note. I'll bookmark your blog and stop in from time to time. Take care and stay warm! And look out for that crazy cat.
