The Snow and The Skipper

It's snowing in TX. It was 76 and sunny on Sunday and now it's Tuesday and our world is all white. The outlook was for rain and snow starting at 10:00 but it was going strong when we woke up and is still coming down. The yards, roofs, and streets are now covered so it's pretty exciting stuff for these Midwestern expats who only get a few weeks of it at Xmas.

Normally I'd be in class today but I am currently the skipper on the U.S.S. Truancy, sailing toward some big exams at the end of the week for which I absolutely have to continue studying. The snow, however, has made me a little giddy and Austin and I documented it with pics and vid (which, it goes without saying, doesn't do justice to snowflakes but anyway..).

Congratulations on your delight with snow. Novelty makes the heart grow fonder. Loved "USS Truancy".

Who will soon escape snow
