Spring Snow
On March 19, it was sunny and 71 in Dallas. On March 20, 2010, we received 1.3 inches of snow. Yes, that’s right, the first day of Spring brought SNOW to Dallas. This brings the total snowfall for this season to 17.3 inches and barely misses breaking the all-time seasonal record for the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I’ve lived in this general vicinity for all of my 31 years and have never seen a winter like this. The February snowstorm will be one talked about in Dallas for centuries and I’m glad that I got to experience it, even if we lost our power for about 24 hours. On Christmas Eve, we received enough snow to ensure a White Christmas 2009. Oddly enough, December 23 was a lot like March 19, in that it reached 73 degrees. That means we received twice in one season, the day after a 70 degree day. Very interesting weather pattern indeed. Normally, I embrace the snow and look forward to its arrival when it is predicted. After this season, I must say, I don’t care if I see another snowstorm for some time.
