Old Man Winter

Living in South Texas, we don't often have complaints about the winter. We get a few cold spells--some nights that dip into the freezing temperatures--but usually Old Man Winter leaves us alone and lets us enjoy our mild winter weather.

Well, NOT this winter!

We should have suspected a cold winter was coming based on the fact that last summer was unusually mild. Isn't that the way it works? So far this winter we've had 2 non-snow "snow" days off from school, and 1 very icy day/night with all kinds of tree damage and power outages. Crazy! It doesn't happen much around here, so when it does, it's definitely blog-worthy!

Everything was so cold and covered in ice, Kaitlynn asked if Princess Elsa (from the movie Frozen) had visited our land. Ha!
