How about this Texas blizzard? We haven't received that much snow here in town, but the wind is making tall drifts, and roads are close to impassible. I made it to work this morning, after being pulled out of one of those snow drifts, but by 10:30 the decision was approved for us to close and get home. As such, I've been able to dress up as Stef for most of the day, probably the longest stretch ever! Sure I'm locked inside my friend's apartment, but it's been great to be me for this long. I only wish I would have thought to buy ingredients to bake cookies or something. Other than that, it's been the perfect day.

We are in Central Texas and the weather is cold, but no snow and it is storming like crazy. We did bake some cookies and our oven is still going. I have a skirt and leggings on and one of my warmest tops. Cold time in Texas. Our first for the winter. Have to cover the garden plants tomorrow as it is supposed to get below thirty.

Its just snow and it will go away eventually so don't worry.
Haven't had any snow up here in Ky yet but I'm sure we will get slammed with it soon enough.
Funny thing is I just saw an MSN post that North America has a new glacier and they are blaming global warming anyway LOL.

Hi Stefani:hugs:, Just be careful and stay safe and warm.

Here in Baltimore the temps have been in the 60s, & 70s' with loads of RAIN
the good thing about the rain is that I don't have to shovel it. ~~...:daydreaming:...

And it's been in the high 70s where I live. I retired and moved south. Sold my snow blower.

BTW: One might think shoveling or blowing snow would be a good time to dress (under the winter clothing). I slipped on the ice one time while blowing snow, landed directly on my tailbone, could not get up and had to be taken to the emergency room. I was dressed normally so there was no issue, I'm just posting a warning.

I'm in MA, and it was 60+ two days ago. I'm now looking at a field of snow. Not much that it counts, but it is still snow.

I AM enjoying the view out my window, watching my neighbors' older Mastiffs and this cute little Shep puppy playing with them.

Kids are cute, regardless of species.
