I talked to my sister in Kent, suburb south of Seattle, today. She told me the thaw is supposed to start tonight, with the snow melting before it can get dark and dirty. I hope we don't have a repeat of last winter's Texas snow and ice. A couple days of it will be fine, though.Durangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231271044296466883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439803544142853007.post-27213129744528541552012-01-18T12:51:30.410-06:002012-01-18T12:51:30.410-06:00I read it.

Last winter, we had a couple of rounds that stayed on the ground for longer than I've seen in my 30+ years in Texas. Everyone freaks out for a day, runs to the store for a month's worth of bread, slides into the ditch, and, usually, within 24-36 hours, the sun is out melting snow and ice away to nothing. And then the next week, it's 65 or 70 degrees.<br /><br />I will admit that February, in my home state, can look dirty, crusty, and nasty along the roadways.CatsPawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439803544142853007.post-27039364995540002852012-01-18T11:09:17.036-06:002012-01-18T11:09:17.036-06:00CatsPaw, that is so true.

Very peaceful.<br /><br />Read the comment from a TX Snowphobe to yesterday's blogging about Spencer Jack & his dad driving by my old snowy home in Washington. Apparently some Texans don't understand snow.Durangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231271044296466883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439803544142853007.post-46906485734909323502012-01-18T10:59:47.263-06:002012-01-18T10:59:47.263-06:00The funny thing is, when there's snow, it'...The funny thing is, when there's snow, it's like insulation.
