We were both excited and baffled last night when we looked outside our windows and saw flurries of snow. Tuesday started off quite warm, and some forecasters predicted the chances of snow last evening were around 20% (to which most of us laughed). But by late afternoon a strong Northern had swept in, and by Wednesday morning, about little snow and sleet had fallen on the city.
The ground was too warm for the snow to stick, so in the morning, the remnants could really only be found on rooftops and car windshields. I think I saw some on the edges at the top of the back fence too.
During the brief snowstorm, however, we played outside and enjoyed what may be the only snow we see for another year or two. Gavin was stoked!
The funniest thing is that it snowed on the same day that we set a new record high for the day of the year.
That is Austin, Texas weather for you. Merry Christmas Ya’ll!
