Snow Day in Big D!

The snow stopped at some point in the middle of the night. We were under a winter advisory warning until 6 am. When it was all said and done the final tally was 12.5 inches of snow. Yep, just a little more than a foot of snow dumped on Dallas! We are currently enjoying a snow day! Schools are closed. Most businesses have only a skeleton crew working if they are even open for business. Doesn't seem like many people are going out unless they absolutely have to.

Some tree branches are breaking due to the weight of the snow along with many power lines that are breaking. The lights have flickered here a time or two but we are thankful that we have power. While an estimated 125,000 Dallas residents are without power.

This is the most snow that Dallas has had in a 24 hour period in 111 years. Due to all the snow that we've had over the winter we are very close to breaking a record for the snowiest season Dallas has ever had. Tonight the worry becomes ice and fog.

Below are pics I have taken a couple from last night. Along with many from today! I would like to report that Cody was much more adventurous early this morning than Simon. Cody went out and stood in the snow while Simon would not come away from our doorstep(the one place where no snow existed). Note: All pics you can click on to enlarge!
