I'm glad that the winter has missed us so far.  These were back from the December 2006 storm that hit central Illinois.

This is a city street. 

Our car came through without a scratch or even a dent, but only because of the 2 inches of ice that  protected it from the tree limb.

I forget the year, it was 1980-something, when the headline of every major newspaper was accompanied by a photo of some beach babe in a parka in the snow holding up the Miami Hearald with its headline "Snow In Miami!".

I got a couple of calls from some of my oddballs in Houston the other night.  They saw snow!  Their windshields were frosted.

It's funny, really.  My son, who moved to Norman/OK City a couple of years ago, calls me with his weather reports.  "Dad, it's snowing"..."Son, it's 76 degrees here"..."Dad, HOW?"

What a difference a small geographical tilt to the south makes.  That is why it can be snowing in Dallas and sunbathing in Houston/Galveston.  Or 76 in Dallas and 26 in Norman.

That one looks like my street last Friday morning.  Problem is, there's supposed to be a two-lane road underneath it.  Birches are pretty, but damned if they don't find a way to get in the way every time.
