Unexpected White Christmas in Winnsboro, TX!

Anita Williams - Wednesday, December 26, 2012

 

Winter white rocker

Planning on having a white Christmas out here in East Texas is a fantasy most years. Last night, we (like many in town) had relatives visiting.  As it started snowing in the afternoon, the Dallas contingent loaded up to make what should have been a two hour trip home, but turned into a four-hour, white-knuckle challenge.

It continued snowing here and we awoke to snow glistening in the early morning sunlight, as if sprinkled with silver glitter.

As of now (noon-ish on Dec. 26), Coke Rd. has remarkably light traffic and the sun is melting the snow.

Enjoy it while you can!

Let it snow!

Thursday, Feb. 11, 2010, Winnsboro, Texas snow day!

The predicted snow arrived overnight and big, fat flakes are continuing to fall. 

In the North, we would be weary of snow by February, but with just one snowstorm so far this season, we can enjoy the pleasure of it. That is, of course, if the roads don't freeze into an ice rink.  It will likely all be gone tomorrow when the temperature rises well above freezing, so enjoy it while you can!

This shot was taken from our back porch in the early light. The picture is actually in color, but this morning, the world looks, if only briefly, like a study in black and white. The snow even seems to muffle the usual early morning sounds.

So, how are you spending your snow day? I'm about to put on a pot of soup.
