What the F?

I love my state. I’m a Texan through and through…annoying levels of pride and all. However, this weather is flat out nuts. We had a very mild winter. With the freak snow that happened Thanksgiving Day aside, we’ve not had any cold precipitation worth noting. That’s a little unusual for Dallas, but not unheard of. Yet here it is, early March…what I like to call "Spring time"…and it snowed a couple of days ago. Not too much stuck where I live, though I hear the cities a little north of Big D got more than a mere inch. The day before I was in a t-shirt and sandals…it had to be at least 65 if not 70 degrees out. And now? My office closed early because the metroplex is expected to get another 5" this afternoon, tonight, and tomorrow. WTF????!?!??!

For those of you from the northern reaches of frozen hell, that may not sound like much. Think of it this way though. With the 2" that averaged around the area plus the 5" expected, that about triples our average annual snowfall (including ice and sleet). How would you feel if we tripled your annual snowfall in one week of precipitation?

I’m trying to be happy about this since I usually enjoy the snow, but I’m a little pissy…mostly because I’m not getting to see the best of it to be honest. I get the half-assed leftovers because I live too far south. *sighs* Oh well. Here’s to Texas weather. This weekend is supposed to be lovely and warm again.

Hope all of you are doing well.
