Merry Christmas and Hail Storms!
« on: December 25, 2012, 01:54:33 am »
We have been having one heck-of-a hail storm for the past 30 minutes...and it is still going strong.  They are coming down the size of golf balls.  Hope Santa is wearing protective gear!

Merry Christmas to all...have a safe and loving day!

That is what I love about Texas.  Last 3 days ago in short...and not this.  If you are tired of the weather here...just wait a short while and it will change!

Mart, it has been snowing hard for about 10 minutes...so it will be heading your way before long.  Just starting to stick!  Had a really good sleet storm prior to it...about 1" of sleet.  So...get your hot chocolate ready!!!!

Most defnitely.  I was corrected when I said earlier we had 3" of snow...it was 4" snow and 2" sleet.  

I agree, we have been wet most of the day.  All the kids in the neighborhood like to come to our front yard and slide down the hill.  

Glad you had a great day.  Would love to see the hoses playing!!!

Merry Christmas antiquers! I'm just getting home from my mother's place. We've had torrential rain here in the Santa Cruz Mountains which means a lot of runoff, mud slides, falling rock and the occasional fallen tree, but no snow here.
