It’s snowing today.
So it turns out my mother managed to get out of here at just the right time. She’s been stuck in Dallas with me since Saturday morning. The airport at her final destination was closed because of ice and horrible weather. She lucked out that Paul and I live here and she had someplace else to stay other than an overcrowded airport or the overcrowded hotels around it. We took her to DFW last night and bid her a safe flight. Everything was peachy-keen, and then this morning we wake to find that it’s been snowing here. The roads are a little slick, school has been cancelled, and the high today will be about half a dozen or more degrees lower than any of the weathermen were predicting.
They are now saying we won’t be getting above freezing today. And once again the only thing on the news are the on-location special reports about how it’s snowing and that it’s so-very-cold and everyone should stay inside and have hot chocolate. I agree about the hot chocolate, but apparently there is no news anywhere else in the world. Or at least nothing that happens to be important enough to report about.
The news stations here are useless.
