Sorry for the low resolution picture.  This one is full sized.  Apparently I drug the thumbnail from ebird.  Just learning.

Yep!  And it's sticking to the trees and everything else which is always so pretty.  But the roads were dangerous last night!

Got a little snow last night, probably half an inch or so. Most of it's melting this morning.

Whoa, I was in shorts just last week. I mean we were talking about it this morning that it would be nice if the Christmas eve would be a warm one. So we can have the doors going onto the patio open, and people eat out there.

Well, I don't think I need to say that the weather in Texas is somewhat different from what it is up here.

It can make for great road side and parking lot birding.

Got some stationary crossbill shots yesterday! Alas, they stayed for less than five minutes, but it was nice while it lasted.

True..most of the time.  Two nights ago people lost control of their vehicles at 5-10 mph.  It was really bad.
