Wow.
The rain turned to ice on the way home from Jamie's post-op appointment - I'm glad we got home when we did. It was rain, then rain mixed with ice, then ice mixed with snow. Now it's snowing steadily. According to weather underground, we can expect 1 to 5 inches of accumulation tonight.
I'm kinda dreading the thought of driving Maggie to dance tonight, especially with the ice under things. I know how to drive in snow, and I was actually slowing down in the ice earlier, because I could feel the van losing traction at 40 mph, so I was going 35 - but plenty of people were zipping past me at regular speeds.

It started SNOWING outside!
Yes, yes, my northern friends will think nothing of this. But hey, this is Fort Worth, TX. Snow is uncommon here.
So of course we had to bundle up the baby and take her out into her first snow. And take pictures.

Also got the chance to take pics of my new sweater, which I'd just finished, and am now quite grateful to have done.
