Snowmaggedon!!!

By Janet Morrison
February 12, 2010

I don't pay much attention to the weather reports in Dallas. The "Arctic Blasts" that they dramatically present usually mean something like 40 degree weather and possibly some rain. So, when I heard the prediction of snow, I was under impressed. Yet, when I woke up and opened the blinds, there was already a blanket of snow covering the ground!


It was the best snow ever! It snowed all day, every single minute of the day--9.4 inches by 9:00 p.m....and it is still coming down!

Around 3:30, I ran over to the After-School Academy to watch the kids enjoy the snow. I knew it would be the perfect photo op...and it did not disappoint.

Thanks for sharing those pictures, Janet. Weren't those kids just beautiful as they romped and played.

I had to think about how it used to be. My wife is from S Dakota and when she came to KS, she missed the snow. She continued to be delighted when the forecast had snow in it, even after we were married and moved to NW KS. We had livestock and snow wasn't my favorite substance to have to deal with.

But now, some 50+ years later, she is plumb happy to sit by the fire and let the grandkids go romp and play, while we reminisce about the good old days when we used get lots more snow, the wind blew harder and the drifts got bigger.
