Armchair Observations
As both an armchair meteorologist and armchair theologian, I would like to make the following observation. Weather is God's way of telling humanity that we have no idea how things work. We may think we do, but sometimes God simply decides to throw a wrench in the works. My evidence for this follows.
This last weekend was fairly rainy and stormy. We had a pretty good storm roll through about 2AM, with a lot of rain, wind, and lightning. Then it rained pretty consistently from about 4AM until 10AM. The temperature had been dropping all day from a high of 65 at 1AM. About 6:30PM though, things started to change more.
Naturally, the kids were excited as they rarely get to see snow here in Texas. I thought that it would have a few flakes, then not much more after that. Boy, was I wrong.
8PM
9:30PM
Tink wasn't sure what to think of the white stuff invading her back yard.
1AM (yes, I was still awake)
7AM Everything was covered in white.
Naturally, this meant it was time for snow angels.
Four inches of the white stuff, measured several times to make sure it was accurate.
Driving to work everything was beautiful...
... up until this. You can almost hear the people collectively asking, "What is all this white stuff? Where did it come from?!?!?" Since their brains were occupied with these thoughts, they couldn't be bothered with driving more than 15 MPH on the freeway.
Such is snow on a fine March day in Texas, a day after we were under a tornado watch.
I've kind of turned this into a photoblog, haven't I?
