The Snow Fell Down

The last time it snowed in Corpus Christi was 2004. But since we already had a hurricane this year (and the last one of those was 1971)... well, why not? A couple of weeks ago the temperature dropped down below freezing and the storm came in, with snow starting to fall after midnight (which thankfully Becky was kind enough to wake me up to see). In the morning, it was still on the ground... probably about 3 or 4 inches of it. It was perfect, wet, snowball/snowman making snow. So we engaged in a snowball fight, and the kids had an all around fantastic time doing something that northern kids do every year. Usually we're building sand castles this time of year, so it was something different.

So based on current weather patterns down here, we should expect snow again sometime in 2030, give or take a few years. Better go buy a snow shovel now to be safe.
