Just missed it

On Monday the excitment started. A cold front was sweeping across the country and it was going to hit Texas. Not just the Northern Texas Panhandle either, but all of Texas. Snow was coming.

Rumors were flying on Tuesday, Wedsnesday and Thursday. We would get half and inch. We would get 10 inches. We would get 2 inches, but it wouldn't stick. Inclement weather policies were reviewed. The city could shut down.

Friday came. Snow fell . . . in the Hill Country, north of us. In Stockdale, south of us. In Houston, to the east. But not in San Antonio. We were encompassed about with snow, but we never saw a flake of it.

The closest we got to snow was a layer of frost on Saturday morning.

Aww, that's so sad for you. We were very excited here! It's gone already, but it was thrilling.
