DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS

Didn't move here for THIS!!

Apparently weather has just been acted weird all over the US. I thought i had escaped all that cold weather i disliked about OK, was i wrong. A lot of Arizonians i'v talked to, have told me this the coldest winter in a long time. This isn't normal for here. During the day it's been mid 40s and below freezing at night. Lately the worst thing that's really happened, people's water pipes have freezed or plants have to be covered. Sunday night, it started snowing!! I couldn't believe it. I woke up for work, and it was white and icy everywhere. Not nearly as bad as OK of course. It's a good thing i never threw my ice scraper away, i almost had when i first moved here. A lot of bridges in town were closed due to all the ice. Majority of these bridges are ones you can't avoid when driving in town. So this wacky weather today has kept people from going to work, and a lot of the schools closed today. A client told me the last time it was this bad was about 9 yrs ago. When going to work this morning it was VERY VERY slow and quiet, i only had two clients come in. Even though it it very wintery outside, it's still not the same type cold like OK, there isn't any cold wind, so it's not too miserable weather wise.



Above: the top two pics wer taken at work. the palm trees looked pretty with the ice/snow on it
Above: this is the tree that's right in front of my apt, my balcony is the top one. The ice was too
heavy and broke down the tree branch. Later that morning, the maintanence guys came
and cut it down.


Above: this the street that runs right down my by apt. These are the Catalina Mts. People did tell me when is snows here the mountains look really pretty, they were right it does.

You just thought you got away from the cold. . . .

As your mother, I am required to say this: Slow down and be careful on the ice. I love you.
