Snowing in Texas

[Iluvharleys 15]

Hey, it is snowing here right now! It's cold too, and it's going to get colder the next couple of days! But, then a nice warm up! Thank goodness!

[Rebeccalee 2]

SNOW!!! That is so nice. I bet you are NICE and COLD!! That shivering will make you lose weight, you know. :laugh That's a good reason to stay in your nice warm, festive house!

I will send a box of warm clothes AFTER Christmas, when it warms up a bit. I'm very glad you have snow. I hope we get some later this year, but it doesn't look like it will happen.

[Iluvharleys 15]

I'll send this to you right now Becky!

If shivering made you lose weight I would be invisible right now!

Come on now girls... it's in the single digits here... now that's cold. You should have seen me out yesterday... me alllll bundled up with my Teresa hat on... honking shovel in my hand... scooping and a throwing snow! I was very warm by the time I finished.

Yes, but we see snow if we are lucky 1 day out of the year. Everyone runs around like children here in Dallas. I am at work in Coppell and the snow is beautiful. Not sticking to the streets though so I will be here through the end of the day:angry ...oh well, just nice to look out from my little cubicle and see white everywhere....I'm sure my 30 mile drive home will be lovely. One thing we Texans don't do well is drive in any kind of precipitation. You just need to slow down to 65 when it snows right???

Hey Missy Darcy- It is 22 here with the wind chill factor and it is getting colder as the day goes on! We are supposed to be in the single digits by tomorrow night. I don't have all those nice warm coats, gloves and boots that you have. I have a Harley jacket though, and I wore it to work today All I have are the nice hats Teresa and Becky made me.

I just freeze since surgery, I can't get warm enough. They all laugh at me here, since I am originally from up north. I have a sweater with a shirt under it on and I am still freezing. I have a heater under my desk blowing on my legs. (when I am not up here talking to y'all) Is anyone else cold like this when you use to be warm?

I'll just let you keep this weather up there, I really don't want it here. I'll look at pictures from up there! I really don't need to see it or play in it! By the way, did you make a snowman while you were out there?????

[Iluvharleys 15]

Kim - I laugh when it rains here and everyone slows down to 30 mph! You would think they are driving on ice. I know I better watch out when there is ice, because people here aren't use to driving on it and really don't know how. I usually go to work late to let all those people get off the road before I get on it! I was use to driving in all kinds of weather, ice, snow you name it. I don't miss it though, it was one of the reasons I moved here, to get away from all that cold weather.

Kimalicious.. I LOVE it! That's a GREAT name! Much better, just in time for all that glorious snow. I walked this morning when it was still dark - cold and windy but the kind of cold that Darcy would just laugh at. I have very good friends in both San Antonio and Ft. Worth. My Ft. Worth friend already sent me a picture of the pretty Texas snow from this morning. Nice!

I guess my gazelle will be keeping me warm tonight. I know what you mean about staying cold. People make fun of me at work because I wear my winter coat at my desk all day long. They keep it freezing in here. I look like a snowman with a headset on all bundled up in my cubicle. You are not alone in the freezer department...

[claraluz 2]

Wow, Betty, snowing! They say it may even snow here in Houston tonight and tomorrow, but I doubt that it will down my way, since I live so far South. Is the snow actually sticking to the ground?

I highly recommend menopause to those of you who are cold. I only wish that I could share some of my body heat with you.

I think that snow is beeeeaaaauuuutttiiiifffffuuuullll... as long as I don't have to drive in it! I'd much rather play in it! Betty... you are not alone... I have the heat cranked up to 71 degrees in the house as I type. I have a dear sweet hubby that is probably half cooked from the high temps! I used to refuse to wear a coat and walked out to the mailbox in bare feet in defiance of the cold... alas... the cold is winning this year. I need to find that perfect place to live... not too cold... not too hot...

Nancy... lol... hand me a slice of that menopause please...my feet are like ice!

Darcy

[Iluvharleys 15]

Nancy - I am past menopause, and past those hot flashes! Maybe that is why I am so cold all the time, I burned my body up already!

The cars here were covered in snow, but the ground is wet and it melted as fast as it fell. You just might get it there, it is so cold here. The wind is high and makes it worse.

Darcy - You can come and live down here, it usually is a great place, hardly any really cold weather till now that is! I use to do the same thing go with out a coat much of the time up there. The people in Arizona use to know we were from the north when we went to visit my fatherinlaw, if it was 50 we were out sunning ourselves in our bathing suits. Now, well, I already told you how it is.

I think the snow is beautiful, as long as I don't have to go outside!

[New Hope 37]

It's cold for us Southerners, 40, wet, and cooling off as we speak. I get cold easier now too. I guess it's losing that layer of insulation. But I can finally wear those pretty sweaters without feeling like I'm going to "burst into flames." LOL I love snow, to visit and play in it, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with the icy roads (much) and sludgy aftermath.

[Iluvharleys 15]

It's snowing pretty hard now, the roofs are white, the cars are white and the grass is white. I hope these wet roads don't freeze before I get home.

[New Hope 37]

Leave right NOW, Betty! Go home! Get your fuzzy, warm slippers on and have a cup of sugar-free hot cocoa. I already told your boss it was o.k.
