Snow in Houston?!?

I know, you must be thinking this is a joke, but no jokes here!  It really did snow.  A lot! 

Okay, so not a lot, a lot, but enough to make snowballs, a small fort and make it really feel like winter!  It even stuck around for the whole day.  Then the sun came out and it started melting, but refroze overnight into ice as the temps dipped to the mid to low 20's. 

As usual, the city was paralyzed and schools got out early, Justin's office closed down for the day.  You know, the general, "We have never seen this before what do we do?????" panic.  We can handle hurricanes and torrential rainstorms, but not *SNOW*!  Okay, enough mocking... for now.






Here is our winter wonderland as the snow really starts coming down.




More shots.





Jill and I went to see what it was all about.  Apparently her.  (see shirt)





The boys with the neighborhood fort.  Yes, there was only enough for one group effort.  This was the day after when everything had slightly melted and it was really crunchy!
