Winter Wonderland in Texas

In Texas, it is not uncommon to hear the statement, 'If you don't like the weather, then wait a minute.'

This has undoubtedly been one of those kinds of weeks. First, we got a beautiful snowfall on Monday night, ranging from 1-3' inched throughout the DFW Metroplex. Buy Tuesday morning, the snow was melted and we were shedding our coats as the day warmed up to a clear and sunny 60+ degrees. We went from snow back to spring in the space of 12 hours.

Well, folks, that good fortune lasted just another day before we were hit with another crazy winter storm. This one blowed in yesterday afternoon and dropped anywhere from 1-9", depending on where you were. It was an unbelievable afternoon. Schools let out early, businesses closed up shop. all in an effort to avoid the treacherous driving conditions that DFW is famous for in inclement weather. It wasn't all bad, though. We got to see some sights that some Texans go years without seeing: snowball fights and snow men and women. Numerous schools reamined closed today, while others just got a late start. Hooray for snowdays!

It is warming up some today, but according to weather reports, the temps are going to drop again this evening causing a hard freeze. Be prepared for another icy morning tomorrow. Be sure to grab your winter coats, and watch for remaining icy spots on bridges and overpasses. We want you to have a safe and warm weekend!
