I guess Phil was right!
About 15 minutes ago it started snowing again — hard. We had some patches where you could see the grass, but after only 10 minutes everything was white again. The graphic from Konfabulator only tells half the story of course — the wind is howling! We have a winter advisory calling for 3–4 inches of snow and overnight low temps 10–15°. We have a wind advisory especially for coastal areas with sustained winds of 30 miles an hour and gusts of 50mph. That’s a windchill of around -10 to -17°!
Of course all this while I’m really getting the itch to start taking macro shots of flowers!

Guess it would be lousy of me to tell you that Ron came over mid-afternoon today and we sat in shirtsleeves out on the patio eating crackers, pub cheese, chicken tenders dipped in Serrano Ranch dressing from HEB, and drinking Pilsner Urquell!!!! Of course, we were watching all the birds in the back yard–even the Cedar Waxwings came back through. That makes it over a week they have been down here in Central Texas–most unusual!! Ooops … sorry!
Arggghhhhhhh!
I like the snow and all, but I’m really ready to be taking some shots of the waxwings and the others (well up here more like Osprey and such). I haven’t seen an Osprey up here yet! I know exactly why the waxwings returned. They got abit further north and said “No way, too cold! Let’s go back to those trees in Texas!”
The good news is that we’ve been having more spicy food ourselves…keeping the metabolism up you know. Especially since we continue to enjoy fresh tortilla’s and the occaisional sopaipilla!
