A Minnesota snow in Texas

I have lived in the south for almost 17 years and have seen many snowfalls that Texans get excited over (it is usually ice). Growing up in MN I know what a real snow is like and last night we had one. It was beautiful and we woke up this morning to a sunny day and about four inches of snow. It was a winter wonderland for a few hours (and school was two hours late, my fellow Minnesotans would laugh). As I drove to work I was homesick. I forget how fresh and clean it makes everything look and how a blanket of snow over everything feels very comforting. It quickly warmed up to 50 degrees but not before the kids ate their fill of snow in cups....just like at Christmas time mom!! The picture above is our front yard and below is looking out across the street.........
