IT IS SNOWING IN KATY!

No, I'm not kidding -- snow is falling here on the gulf coast of Texas. It isn't sticking right now but the prediction is for 1 - 3 inches on the ground. A little early for a White Christmas, but it is lovely to look at. Schools are closing early, V's day care is closing early, Sweetie, who has been ill for the past two days, is getting off work early, church Christmas program is cancelled for tonight. I told Sweetie that we will light the fireplace and just be cozy today. Perhaps I will get my Christmas cards addressed, or some sewing done.

I was out shopping yesterday and enjoyed looking at the fall color that we are having. This area doesn't get much fall color because we don't usually have the weather that prompts the change in the colors of the leaves. However, this year we had an early cold spell and there is a good bit of color showing. I told my friend that I was going to get my camera and take some pictures to blog. Well, I didn't, and I'm afraid they may not survive the snow and 20 deg (F) weather. My hibiscus has nine blooms on it -- best it has ever looked! ...and it is snowing! Go figure!

Hmm. Sticking. In the UK we would say pitching!

Here "sticking" means not melting.
If it snows but melts immediately, that would mean it is "not sticking." However, if it does not melt and begins to pile up, we say it is "sticking."
