A SURPRISING SNOWSTORM
“

Texans do not know what to do with the extreme cold weather, but we sure do know how to make the most of it! We found creative ways to enjoy the snow. I’m not normally a risk-taker, but I can now tell my greatgrandchildren one day about how I walked on the frozen tank in 2021!

The night before Valentine’s Day, I stayed up until midnight. I was watching the snow fall and keeping my puppy warm. On Valentine’s Day, we were going in and out of the house playing in the snow then coming inside the house to warm up. The snow was everywhere! And, it was almost zero degrees!
