Blizzards of 2010 - Dallas Snowstorm
















It is official - 12.5 inches of snow at DFW airport, the greatest single event snow ever!
( in 111 years of record keeping). Texas weathermen completely missed this one, all the fancy computer models did not see this event happening.
Amazingly, it did not shut down the highway system. Minor accidents of course, but helped by many people staying home, and all school systems are closed. There are about 175,000 folks out of power.

It is a very heavy snow so there are problems with roofs collapsing and fires from sparking downed power lines. I watched the other blizzards across the country this year, but thought I would dodge the bullet here in Texas. Ha!

The great news is this is Texas, this will all be just a memory in a few days. I hope the thousands of migrating Robins that passed through last week found a good place to hide out!
