No Reason to Get Excited, The Thief He Kindly Spoke

Even though it came and went more quickly than Creed's fame, it did snow yesterday in Whitehouse, Texas. As all of you reading this blog in the year 2356 will be able to note, it was April 7. I'm not sure if by that time this will all be normal somehow and you will scoff at snow in April, but let's just say that it caught people here off guard.

The Tyler newscasters were actually blaming a few traffic accidents in the area on the snowfall. Let's look at this assertion at bit more closely. The snow was coming down in April, and immediately returning to a liquid form once it contacted the earth. What does that immediately make you think of? An insurmountable weather disaster that will consume all of those in its path? Probably not. The kooks reading this blog probably thought of one word: rain. Because that's what it was! It was just like driving in a light rain, and I'm sure we've all seen one of those before.

Let's just say that it was a slow news day in the Tyler metro area.

It was a day of records on Saturday in Waco: lowest low in recorded history on that date (32°); lowest high; most snow (only snow ever that late--3 3/4"). There were more, but that was all we had. Alas, school will resume as usual on Monday. Just give the snowplows time to clear your street.
