I know snow is not a big deal to most of you but it had been 20 years since we had snow. My boys are having a blast.

I can speak for most of use who usually get the white stuff - feel free to keep it as often as you want.

It must be fun once in a great while. Step-daughter in Houston TX is reporting enjoying a little snow too.

Snoooooooooooow!!!!!!
In Louisiana?
Talk about a Mother Nature curveball! The ol' gal has still got it!
Wow!!!

Splat!

Happy snowball fight!

Yep, snow @ Tulane a couple days ago. Also College Station, where daughter finished semester from Hurricane Ike.

We have just about seen it all this year.

"We have just about seen it all this year"

I know we have just about seen it all; two hurricanes and snow in 3 months.

Yes, I know all too well! I worked the Ike recovery the last 3 months, traveling from Dallas with truckloads of store donations to provide basic neccessities...
Son evacuated for Gustav, but wound up in Port O'Conner, Tx, deep sea fishing! Posted a pic of the beautiful 40 lb. Pompano he landed. He had a great time during Hurricane Gustav!
Then, Sept. 12, daughter evacuated for Ike. She came home for a week, until Texas A&M decided "how, when, where" to resume classes. Mayor of Galveston denied access to the island for several weeks, so my daughters flooded apt. was a real "health hazard" when we were allowed back to literally salvage & throw out...Galveston was devastated & stunk to high heaven! It still does!
Aggies take care of Aggies...the school picked up the tab for 1700 students to relocate to College Station, Alumni Club contributed over $200,000 to students for immediate needs (like something to wear, a bed to sleep on, books lost in the storm...all manner of things. Aggie Mom's Clubs helped with homes, bedding, household items, clothing....everything!

And, from Tulane, a few pictures...Enjoy!
