I think it is funny how we freak out about winter weather in DFW. We have been hearing for week and a half that it is going to by icy this weekend. A week and a half!
It's funny that it is such big news here. Now, I have never lived anywhere else but the Dallas area (well, Nacogdoches in college I guess, but still Texas) and even I think it is crazy how much we freak out about it. Chris has family in Colorado, and they talked about having snow three feet deep in this last blizzard weather. Now that would be something to freak out about!
A couple of years ago, the weather forecasters kept saying it was going to be really, really cold and icy/snowy for a long time. They even started calling it the "Arctic Blast". Chris and I thought that was really funny because it never got very cold at all after the big fuss for a long time.
I tend to get excited when it is going to be really cold and maybe icy though. I dont know why. Maybe because it is different from the norm around here. I kind of wish it would get colder here for longer periods of time and snow more. Actually, I would probably be griping about how cold it was if it was colder more of the time.

I like cold! I want colder! Actually if the summer could just cool down 10 - 20 degrees it would be perfect.
Cody and I have been joking about the "Artic Blast, blast, blast (echoes)" that threatens the very existence of our humanity this weekend. If we survive, and that is a very big IF, then we will fall on our knees in thanksgiving.
I have a friend who lives in Alaska, on her blog she is talking about it being -41 or something like that...big difference from here!!
I totally agree... but, I always thought I was in the minority. It cracks me up because Sammy, my sister, my dad & several other people I know will keep every TV channel turned to a weather station for 24 hours a day just watching & listening to the latest weather updates. I always ask what the point is, because it's not like we can change whether it's going to ice or snow. Now, if there were an approaching tornado or hurricane (like we had in South TX), then I understand the need to watch & be prepared. However, I just don't see the need to obsess over a little ice every once in a blue moon!
