I mean, we get warm winters, not this kind of winter! The moment I saw those flakes falling, I just knew I had to get out there and capture every magical second.
It felt like stepping into an entirely different world right outside my door. The air was crisp, and everything was covered in a fresh, sparkling layer. I quickly threw on my favorite black jacket and, of course, my go-to 'Twilight' t-shirt – you know, for maximum comfort and a bit of nostalgic fun. Seeing snow on my hair and jacket was just surreal! I usually only dream of this kind of winter wonderland, or see it in movies, but here it was, right in my own backyard.
My first instinct was just to run out and feel it. I remember just laughing with my eyes closed, letting the snowflakes fall on my face. It was such pure, unadulterated joy. Of course, a Texas snow day isn't complete without trying to make a snowball! It was a bit challenging at first, but I managed to form a few, feeling like a kid again. The sheer delight of holding that cold, powdery snow in my hands was something I won't forget.
We took so many pictures, trying to capture the transient beauty of it all. I loved playing around near the orange car, which looked so vibrant against the white backdrop – and yes, that's 'Salmo 91:11' written on it, a little personal touch! Even mundane things like the blue trash can and the rake in the backyard looked picturesque with a dusting of white. I even caught myself adjusting my hair in the snow, just trying to soak in every single detail.
As someone who rarely gets to experience this, I felt so incredibly lucky. It wasn't just about the snow itself, but the unexpectedness of it, turning an ordinary day into something extraordinary. Every smile, every laugh, every moment of covering my face in sheer delight – it was all so genuine. This wasn't just a snow day; it was a memory in the making, a reminder that even in places known for heat, winter magic can surprise you.
I'm still buzzing from the excitement. It truly was an unforgettable winter experience right here in Houston. I hope these photos give you a little glimpse into how magical it felt. Who knows when we'll see snow like this again, so I'm holding onto these memories tight!
