No snow. It just doesn't want to come near Spring, Tx. That ever-hopeful 70% chance of snow at night and 70% chance in the morning turned out to be a dud prediction.
I have no snow pictures and video to share (obviously), so here are some of the birds. (Whoopti-doo, right? Pictures of cute birds which I can take any time of the year).

Ice at 3pm / Ice again
As you can see, there's not even that much ice. I could have crushed some ice cubes from the freezer and tossed it in the yard to achieve the same effect. :/

(Sorry for the lousy color. Not wanting to scare them off, I took this video through a gap I made in the window blinds upstairs).
Austin got some snow. At my sister's house, they received 0.6 inches. My brother and SIL received 0.7 inches.
Last I heard, the kids were still playing in it with all their friends at the park. They even made a tiny snowman on Luke's car. Lol!
I'm really glad for them. They all get off school today AND get to enjoy some of the white stuff AND there's the weekend to follow. They're a busy, busy family so I'm happy they're having a fun snow day.
Speaking for myself though, I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't envious of them.
Really, really envious.
I know they didn't receive that much snow, but it's better than the alternative that we got... which is ZIPPO!!!!
It's all my fault. It's that darn positive thinking. This time I was thinking positive about the snow (usually I'm very skeptical and get ragged for being the realist; I am a Taurean after all), and my reward is... well THERE IS NO REWARD!
Okay, so I'm still a bit livid but believe it or not I'm not as angry as I was this morning.
Anyway, lesson learned. Positive thinking might be fine for Pollyanna, but not for me. I'll stick to reality, thanks. At least when you stick to realism, the disappointments don't become such a shock.
Here are pics my brother took:

I LOVE that last picture! It looks so pretty covering the streets and rooftops.
By the way, I found out last night that the wind was so fierce during that blizzard Dad got, that it blew through the small cracks in his windows. The inside of his truck was soaked.
