In early February, we received a royal icing over here in Texas. Texas is famous for ice storms in the winter that lay down a thin layer of ice and shut everything down due to lack of equipment to deal with such weather. Starting February 1st we had a large ice storm that shut down the schools for 4 days!!! During this same time we also had a deep freeze where temperatures were below freezing for three days. On the fourth day we woke up to snow which had fallen overnight.
The boys enjoyed their time off from school and especially Friday where it was fun to play outside in the snow. The first three days were a bit rough because roads were impassable and it was too cold to go outside…so we all had a bit of cabin fever. But we survived with a lot of hot chocolate :)
Ironically, this occurred the same week that Dallas/Ft. Worth was hosting the Super Bowl at the new Cowboy’s stadium in Arlington. This storm caused a series of heartaches for the planners, but temperatures did finally warm up enough on Saturday to melt all of the frozen precipitation.
