Five Ways

How y'all know it has indeed snowed in Central Texas:

1) The roads get sanded
2) Businesses and state offices release their employees early
3) It's the lead story in the newspaper
4) TV news stations run photos of every snowman they can locate
5) Fio devotes four rhapsodic blogs to the phenomenon

P.S. When stepping outside to retrieve the newspaper this morning, Fio bid farewell to the last of the snow, a pizza slice of white in front of her north-facing front porch.

Adieu, adieu, or, as Tennessee Williams said, ou sont les neiges d'antan . . . .
