One Cold Day in Hell

Well, it happened. . .Hell began to freeze over during this landmark occurrence in Houston, Texas.  In this area that is usually around 70-80 degrees and humid around the holidays, we had the second snowfall of this millennium, with the first being Christmas, 2004 (I was out of the country).   It was pretty amazing, since I walked out of the office into what appeared to be a blizzard in South Texas standards.  I became really giddy, and I felt like a little kid.  Flashbacks of snowball fights, sledding, frostbite, and hot chocolate danced around in my head.  Houston actually will officially shut down during a snowfall, and people will "hunker down", like during Hurricane Ike.  Houston has been a hotbed of weather weirdness this year.  Being from the Midwest, it is actually fun to see it snow.  I even found myself singing. . .eeek. . . a Christmas carol!!!!  Yes, winter becomes more solidified.  I decided to go to the gym, since I really had nothing better to do.  Everyone was just watching the snow fall out the window.  Since I forgot my reading material, I also stared out the window.  However, I could actually see my reflection, so that obstructed this lovely view of snowflakes drifting down to the potholes and oil spots.  Because we never know when this will happen again, I actually took a photo of snow on top of my car and a video of snow falling.  I have to save this moment for posterity, to document these historical moments.
