Things I had forgotten about West Texas Winters

Just how cold a "blue norther" really is.
Mother waking me early to see the snow.
How quiet it is after a snow.
Truett Mayes pulling a buch of us kids all over town in a car hood turned upside down and tied to the back of his pickup.
Making tunnels through snowdrifts.
Don't pull into the curb downtown (Kittie had to remind me.)
Put the car in neutral if you start to slide (Kittie had to remind me.)
Don't open both car doors at the same time when the wind is blowing 50 miles an hour.
Not being able to get to the alley for the snow YUK!! Trash Pileup!
How dependent EVERYTHING is on the weather.
How sore my behind is aftery trying to walk carefully on the snow and ice.
Not being able to find the newspaper.
The feel of the snow when you first step into it...all powdery and soft.

HOW MUCH I LOVE THE SNOW!!

Other snow stories anyone??
