Let It Snow, Let It Snow (just not ice!)

So, after unusually warm weather on Monday and Tuesday, last night an "artic blast" came into the metroplex dropping the temperatures from the 70s to the 30s. And with it brought lots and lots of precipitation. This morning, that looked like heavy rain which made for an interesting driving experience this morning especially since a few of the bridges were a little icy! I just checked the radar however, and after a line of sleet passes through, it looks like we are actually going to get quite a bit of snow. I saw that there might be at least an inch which is a lot for this area and a lot earlier than we usually get it! So I'm excited because I love snow (in small amounts). I am not excited about the potential freezing of the roads by this afternoon because my commute is okay most days on the way home but if it's icy, it will be really bad. And I have packing to do tonight and everything else! Should be interesting! Plus, I'm supposed to come into work tomorrow from 8 am to 2 pm. Now we live on a hill in Las Colinas (means the hills) so this might be problematic if there is ice. But I guess I will cross that bridge when I get to it! As long as the roads become navigatible (sp?) enough by the afternoon so we can drop off the dog at the Pet Hotel and head to the airport! Then we can go to Florida although I'm sad because it looks like they have rain there too. At least it's not so cold there and maybe it will clear up!

So here's to having good weather to bring snow ONLY to the metroplex and then no rain to Florida! Yippee! Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday weekend in case I don't write before! :) And I'll be out until after the first of the year after tomorrow so if you don't hear from me, that's why!

i know. i was watching the weather channel while getting ready this morning. it's actually supposed to be snowing/freezing around 3pm, which is when we'll be driving to the airport. i'm a little concerned about that. i hope our travelling is safe, with driving and then flying. us Texans aren't used to all this, which makes the highways (and the runways) messy with traffic.

sad for us!

I was just looking on the weather channel site and thinking about you guys. It's still 70 here but supposed to be 14 this weekend, but the snow is supposed to go away before the cold gets here... You guys be careful!

And so it begins....the sleet/snow is coming down hard. Should make for a treacherous ride home! Fun times! Oh well, at least there's not as much traffic on the road because of people being on vacation already and whatnot. Hopefully I can get home in decent time at least! Everyone be careful! :)
