19°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 39° today.

Stepson sent a text to his Mother last night that it was snowing in San Marcos. I laughed. He moved down there to get away from snow. :laughing:

Glad things didn't go badly for you, Randy.

Friend in Mission, TX have reported SNOW down there. Hope nobody needs anything from TX today. They close whole state when it gets below 40°. :confused3: And now it's snowing. :eek:

Randy, glad you are okay and smart enough to NOT confront them face to face.

Have they called out the National Guard in Texas yet, to get rid of the snow?

Toronto got 2' one storm a few winters back, the mayor shut the city down and called in the Army. Made Toronto the laughing stock of all of Ontario.:laughing:

So far this 'flurry' has dumped 6". The block heater for the tractor is plugged in. When the snow stops, then I will go out and clean up.

You guys south east of me will be happy to know that I am selfish and will keep all the snow to myself.:laughing:

Stay safe people.

We got a total of 4" of snow. It is now 50˚ and the snow event will be just a memory in a few hours.

I finished my walk about and took 264 pics. I'll just post a few select because I know for most of y'all this is not a special event.
The news media is missing the big story. This is a Fall snow event, maybe the first ever for parts of Texas. We have had only 3 other snow events (snow actually accumulates on the ground) here in the last 21 years and they have all been in the Winter - January/February.

First, my Fall garden:

The cows with their new calves made it through the storm OK.

Snow day today. 1st time we've ever had more than a dusting here since 1985 or 1986 here in Giddings, best my wife can remember. To be specific, it snowed 17" in Victoria (100 miles south of here in 2004).

Notice my pecan tree still has/had green leaves.

School here actually ran 2 hours late. Roads are good now, but I decided to let the kids play as a different type of learning environment today.

Don, I got the fireplace burning now too.
