February Arrives!

Welcome to February!  Yikes!  What will the weather have in store for us this month?  Brad and I have commented to each other in the last few days leading up to February...Wonder how cold it will be?  Wonder how much snow we'll see?  The month of February is generally the coldest.  I have yet to go through a February that didn't feature a snowstorm.  Remember the year Dallas hosted the Super Bowl?  We were hit by a major snowstorm that brought the city to a stop for a few days.  By the time Super Bowl weekend rolled around things were returning to normal but the days leading up to it we're treacherous! 

As for this past week, we experienced a 40 degree drop in temps from Monday night to Tuesday morning.  We woke up to an outside temperature of 11 degrees with the windchill factored in. The last two days have been a perfect reprieve from the coldness!  However, tomorrow is predicted to be nasty!  Freezing rain is due to hit town in the early afternoon followed by snow in the late hours heading into Monday.  The weather report states a 90% chance of ice/snow. Judging by the feel of it outside when I took the boys for their final walk of the day it's definitely getting colder with a chilly wind swirling around. I've already looked ahead to notice the morning hours will be warmer than the afternoon.  We'll be getting up early to get the long walk in!  We always get up early on Sunday though, nothing out of the ordinary.

For some reason I've been bracing myself for February.  I seemed to sense that February could be very....well February!  Like I previously stated I have yet to see a February in Dallas where snow didn't take centerstage for a couple days or more.
