We came to the point in the central US that is the farthest South in order to escape winter. But, we no sooner get here than the unimaginable happens. Last night the forecast was predicting a low of 33 degrees – sheesh! And now by 10 AM the next day, we are literally in full blown winter blizzard! And we are taking no solace in the fact that most locals we bump into at store registers are excited and shouting “I’ve never seen snow before in my life!”
I guess the only saving grace is that we are not 80 miles North in Port Aransas as we had planned to be. As bad as I make it out to be here, it’s at least a little bit better than being there! Listening to the amazed weather forecasters on the news we’ve learned that the Texas Gulf Coast has now received more snow this season than Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver and Boston – combined! Actually, it’s been a lot more combined – sheesh again!
Talk to you soon!
