SNOW IN TEXAS ?????

Being well into December I am kind of late with my Christmas decorations.  I usually try to get them up on December 1st. 
 

I got started early in the week and got my tree out and set up.  Then proceeded out side and put up my wreath etc. 


Well it turned out that the extensions and lights weren't working.  So off we went to the store to buy replacements.  But we couldn't get back at it the next day as the weather took a real turn down here.  On Monday we had a high of 88F or 31C.  and a cold front moved in that night and the high the next day was 46F or 8C with rain.  What a shocker.  And this morning we woke up to this. 



SNOW!!!  In all the years we have been coming to the Rio Grande Valley we have had one experience with a severe cold snap and that was to come out after a function and find ice on the windshield from freezing rain.  But I never thought I would every see snow.  As I am writing this it is disappearing quickly as the sun is now out and we are supposed to have temperatures in the mid 60s F or 19C.  and normal mid 70s F 24C the next day.  



I'LL GET BACK TO MY DECORATIONS THEN.
