Did you know there was such thing as a Meteorological Winter?


Well there is and it began on December 1st and it runs through February.  The way this Texas temperature plunged over the past 36 hours, it felt like it began today.

I bundled myself up as if it were the beginning of a new ice age after listening to the local morning news meteorologists say, “…there were snow flurries north of Dallas, headed our way…” I got snow eyes…don’t worry, it is not a medical condition it is only brought on when it snows; that is when all you want to see it snow and want to surround yourself in the snow and cold – I just made that up, lol.  I digress, by the time I arrived at the train station…the snow clouds were empty, leaving only their remnants along the sidewalks and atop cars.

I was a bit sad but like the Texas adage goes, “…wait ten minutes if you don’t like the weather.” 

I hope you enjoyed your first snow of the 2012-2013 Meteorological Winter because the Farmers Almanac says, “Winter temperatures will be slightly colder than normal, on average, with precipitation and snowfall near or a bit above normal. The coldest periods will occur in late December and early January and through much of February. The snowiest periods will be in early to mid-February and early March.”
