Last week it got up to the upper 70's to low 80's and today it is snowing buckets and is currently 32. Sunday the high it is suppose to be 68. My son was suppose to come home tonight for spring break but his flight was cancelled (after he already got to the airport). Both my daughter's schools closed early so I had to brave the mess of parents all picking up their kids and no one knowing what to do. I took a few pictures but now it is coming down even more.

This one is a little crooked. Our backyard is currently a mess so don't look too close. :p

It's 40 degrees and cold rain at my house. It's ugly. Not worth photographing.

Clever Photoshopping there, BEG. I'm in a highrise on the 19th floor in downtown Dallas, there's sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. :tongue:
(Okay okay, there's no sunshine - just rain. No snow tho!)
-
Wow, BEG! :o
Those are some fantastic photos, and I especially love the one of your dog. :lmao:

Isn't Dallas weather odd?

One of the guys that work for me just moved from New York state, he's not happy! :rotf:

I liked that one too! :lmao:

What are you? The 19th floor doorman? You sure have a lot of time to post. :o

Love the photos, BEG. My ex-son-in-law lives in Allen. They have about two inches. I'm too far east and south. All I'm going to see is rain.
I got my poodle groomed last Friday. That means he has no hair except for those poofy parts. I put him outside a while ago, He wouldn't budge off the patio. I watched him through the window. All he did was sit with his back to the door. I could see him shivering. Poor old guy. I let him back in. He can pee tomorrow, I guess.

They finished their sad snowman. I told the girls to wear hats but two of them refused. My oldest daughter wanted me to tell you that she get's credit for building the snowman.

We just barely missed out on the snow in OKC. McAlester, Davis and Ada are getting hammered, though.

Your oldest daughter is not the tallest one of the four is she? :o

Yes, she is 14.

Yes, she is 14.
So when did you make this deal with Satan? I've met you in person, you don't look older than 30, and you've got kids that look like they could be your siblings!

I also have a soon to be 19 year old son (March 11th). :tongue:

By the way, is Dallas considered "east Texas"?
I have a particular reason for asking the question.

I think it would be considered more "north east" Texas. Tyler is east Texas to me.

My flight through DFW was just freaking canceled and there were no alternates available! I am back in my freaking Richmond hotel.
A happy camper, I am not.

Oh, I know - you've posted pictures of him. Good looking kid, but I wouldn't want to meet that guy in a dark alley! :lmao:

You're probably aware of why I asked the question, sir.
I'm still thinking of one of the two biggest prevaricators on Skins's island, neither of which is the lying titty primitive.

Fly through Dallas on Saturday - it'll be in the 90s here then. :rotf:

(I'm such a redneck - I had to "define: prevaricator" on Google to understand the question.)
Well, they're mostly all prevaricators by nature, but who did you have in mind?

Ms. Ed, the unappellated eohippus, the one who in "east Texas" last autumn loaded up on "ricks" of firewood for the winter, tons and tons of firewood.

Oh so you were just trying to get on my good side then?!?
It worked. :p
Edited to add: Actually it depends on what you meant when you said, "Good looking kid, but I wouldn't want to meet that guy in a dark alley!".

Everyone in your family is beautiful. The pics you posted of your son looked like he could hold his own in a fight.

You funny. real funny.
I'm sorry, I was just being silly. I feel your pain - I've been stuck in airports all over the county for stupider reasons than weather.

We got sent home from work at 2pm. Woo hoo!
It was really coming down on my way home, but nothing stuck at my house.

Good catch! :lmao: Yes, that was supposed to be country.

I laff at that dusting you call snow! :rotf:
Great pictures BEG!

This is North Texas. Everything shuts down when there's a hint of snow/sleet/ice. ;)

I like to watch it snow. I like that it will all be a distant memory by Saturday morning even more.

They were big fat snow flakes today. I thought you were on the northern side of things like BEG?

No, dear, I am east of Dallas. The east side never gets in on the fun.
I remember when I was a kid living in Oak Cliff I saw it snowing in our backyard but not in the front yard.

You forget I'm originally from Omaha, I know my snow.
When it snows at the most once a year where you live you tend to get a little excited about it. :tongue: Earlier today I was making fun of the schools because they were calling everyone to come pick up the kids about three hours early. When I was a kid I walked to school (up hill no less) in a blizzard. My Mom was trying to drive us but her car wouldn't make it up the hill so we walked the rest of the way. It starts to snow here and and hour later the whole city is shut down.

But that's normal. Folks living where snow is part of their lives is abnormal. When snow is no longer a treat, it sucks.

Hey, Frank. Here is something that may help you a little. Like I said in another thread, depending on who you talk to Texas will have 5 or 7 regions.
(http://tourtexas.com/images/texasregions2.gif)
If you look at the area labeled 'Piney Woods' this is typically known as East Texas. Deep East Texas is where I live. Dallas, in this drawing is in the 'Prairies and Lakes' section and would be North East .... Or North Texas depending on who you are talking to.
Anyway, thought this might help you. There are better region maps that will list the regions as East, North, West, South, Hill Country (central), etc....
Good Luck!

It makes you feel sorry for Colorado. I use to tell folks I had a lighter in the shape of Colorado. They would enthusiastically ask to see it. I would pull out my old Zippo and turn it sideways.
