It is really snowing here in Plano, Texas,
The first real snow that I have seen since I came to the Conservatory in 2017. And it is beautiful!
Large flakes are falling continuously. The snow has covered the red-tiled rooftops and the ground now. There are icicles on the bare branches of those towering and graceful oaks and maples. At a distance, the line between the neighboring rooftops and the sky blurred.
There is no sign of traffic. No city noise.
The Texans are not used to Snow.
Last year we had the First Big Freeze - power lines were down, electricity was off for days, then, we lost water . . . For more than eleven days, the city suffered. There were damages to city and personal properties. There were also loss of lives.
So far this has not been the case this year.
The snow is still falling steadily. And it is Beautiful!
