As we left Loren and Diane's last night to make the short trip back to our RV, the question was: is it raining yet? My answer: no.......it's snowing!, At 38 degrees it was spitting enough to cover our windshield and the hood and roof of the car. This morning there was a misting of the trees which gave a peaceful, serene look to the woods. As we drove from Colmesneil to Beaumont this morning, the roads were dry, the grass had a thin layer of snow and the trees were beautifully frosted.
The general topic of the day was the unusual appearance of snow in East Texas, a rarity and a treat. One gentleman told of collecting a plastic bag full, putting in the freezer to be able to show his grandchildren the "blizzard of Beaumont". A fire station even had a snowman on their front lawn, needing most of the fallen snow on the lawn to complete the task.
We are expecting cold weather for the next few nights, but there is little chance for more snow and what fell is totally gone except for that fire station snowman. It's quite a treat when it snows in Texas before most of the real snow-belt areas of the north and east have even had their first exposure to the white stuff. Happy Winter Texas......even if it is still two weeks to the official start of the season.
