Snows of March

Intense wind and blowing snow on Friday, March 2, a day that we should be thinking about spring (because it's near and yet far off) and Texas, because it was Texas Independence Day. And Sam Houston's birthday, as it happens. I must have known that at some point, but I'd forgotten it.

The wind made some weird snow drifts, especially in the back yard, and especially on the sidewalk out to the driveway. Little Matterhorns. I would shovel through them and they'd be back in a few hours.
