My title says it all! This photo was taken just down the street from where we live. The area is usually green or brown—never so white!
A quick fact check this morning, told us that this is the biggest snowfall since 1978—Two years before either of us spent a winter in Texas. So, for us, this is amazing. It’s amazing that ten and a half inches of snow fell and it’s amazing to have this beautiful blanket of white lasting so long. Snowmen are popping up everywhere and cardboard boxes and trash can lids are being appropriated as sleds. This is Texas, where no one even owns a snow shovel, and the trees are frequently not tough enough to withstand the weight of multiple inches of snow. According to one report 180,000 folks in Fort Worth and Arlington are without power.
So . . . Fuzzy’s Taco Shop for breakfast! Decent coffee. Yummy breakfast burritos. Free WiFi. What more does a girl need?

NEWS FLASH: The big bad news of the day, is that our beloved Rahr Brewery is currently in a state of emergency—the roof of the building they occupy caved in from the weight of the snow! Apparently, their distributor stepped right up and offered storage for the bottled product . . . but operations are at a standstill for as much as sixty days while insurance companies and construction companies do their dance. So, remember to ask for Rahr beer when you’re out! And, vote for Rahr in the current Zymurgy survey! Rules for doing that are here.
