Random thoughts on snow....

It snowed today (tonight). Only a little bit of snow but snow none the less... This would be the second batch of snow we have gotten in a short amount of time. The last little bit of snow we got was right before Christmas. Why do I even mention the snow? Well for being almost March and the fact that we are along the Gulf Coast... and already looking like Spring, Snow is a big deal (even the smallest amounts of it). Growing up we were lucky if it ever snowed. Once in 10 years probably was the average. Lately we have been averaging at least once a year. It will be an all time record if we get snow in December too (twice in a year).
Really snow isn't a problem for us here because the ground is still warm (seeing how we were in the 70's a few days ago). So it usually doesn't stick very much if at all. The problem is the rain we usually get attached to this snow. It rains lots and we all know what happens to water when it gets below freezing. It hardens and becomes very slick. So I hope those that work early in the mornings have a safe commute.
