Just snow already dangit!
Like most everywhere else in the world, Texas is experiencing a cold snap. “Artic Blast” is what the news stations are using as their method of freaking people out. We’re looking at it getting in the 20s tonight, getting barely above freezing tomorrow and at one point they were saying the low tomorrow night could be 18. (Ha, you didn’t expect to get the weather report when you clicked on my blog today, didja?)
Now, I know that other places are in the negative digits and quite frankly, I can’t wrap my head around that. But, you have to realize… this is Texas. South Texas. We don’t get that cold. And therefore, we’re not really prepared for this. My jacket is pretty warm and all, but I don’t think it’s “not getting above 32 degrees” warm. I have some sweaters, but not really thick, super warm sweaters. And don’t even get me started about dismissal time tomorrow… I nearly froze today (my face didn’t feel normal for like 20 minutes after) and it was in the 40s.
But here’s what gets me… I think I would almost be okay with the cold weather… if it would snow. I keep seeing pictures of snow and it’s so beautiful. Yes, I’m sure it’s a hassle to drive in and gets annoying after a while. But the new dSLR owner in me thinks “pictures!!”. I mean, have you SEEN the pictures? If I had all the snow some of these people are getting, I swear I’d never go inside… I’d be taking pictures til I ran out of space on the memory card!
Or until my fingers went numb. And I realized that I was actually *freezing* and ‘omg-get-me-next-to-a-fireplace-NOW’. Whichever comes first.
You know I’d even take some icicles. Those have picture potential all over them. Yes, ice is dangerous and all that. But ice here = everything shutting down and pictures. It’d be nice if we could get a little bit of ice.
But no, we get really really cold… and that’s it. Grrr. Bring on Spring dangit!
