Photo Essay of Snow in San Antonio, February 4, 2011

******************************************
Yes, it can snow in San Antonio, Texas! We're having a holiday today because of cold weather, ice, and snow. The schools, workplaces, and roads are closed. The weather forecasters are doing a marathon weather report on our local TV and radio stations. "Don't go out on the roads. All the major interstates and highways are closed. It's dangerous!" I've been hearing that reported all morning long on KENS-TV, a local San Antonio TV station. I heard the laughter of children when I ventured out around 8:00 this morning. They were excited about their school's closure, and some were trying to make snowballs and even sled ride with garbage can lids on the icy streets. Our dogs, Phineas and Rusty, weren't quite sure what that white stuff was on the ground. They sniffed, licked, and finally bit it. And, then the next thing was to initiate the final test . . . making their mark . . . yellow snow!
I don't know about you, but I plan on having an extra cup of hot chocolate, taking in a home movie, and catching up on my third Stieg Larsson novel. Hey, isn't that what a winter holiday is for? Hope you all have fun! Stay warm!
