Always a nice thing to see. It seemed so rare when I was a child.

That's true. It's not that common, especially in March.

Man thats two snow events in march in abilene. thats the county courty house in the background. can you believe this Jill?

I really can't! Closest thing I remember is the Good Friday snow in April about twelve years ago.

Unbelievable.

lol. the last time the weather was this weird was when it snowed easter weekend all those years ago. we had FEET of snow in a couple of hours. i used my sun visor to unburry my car and then drove to mississippi for the weekend. i was kind of dumb then. lol. Now Im only moderately dopey. hee hee.

I'm ready for Spring. I think of March as a Spring month, not a winter month, but my Dad always reminds me that Spring doesn't start until March 21.

Nasty storm again.

I didnt think Abilene did spring. It always feels like fall and spring get skipped here. No sweater weather. Speaking of sweaters! I saw this luscious sweater at Dillards today. It was chinelle and freaking SOFT. On sale for $55 (was $280). Holy crap was it snuggly. If we had any time for sweater weather I would so buy it.

I know what you mean. Everytime I see a pretty sweater in a catalog I remind myself there will be little time to wear it. Sometimes we have fall and spring, however, but often we go from winter to blazing summer.

Very nice. Always fun to see photos of the hometown. I was back for the Thanksgiving snowstorm. That was fun :)
