I did stop to take a pair of pictures of foot steps in the snow while I was out checking on the chickens (they are fine, cold, but fine). These are the stereoscopic photos, in parallel view and cross view (which I still can’t see).
These don’t have the depth I’ve achieved in other photos. The vast stretch of white probably doesn’t help. The photo really gets interesting in the top third. Hm.
This is a Texas “snow” drift. My weather app says we received 10 inches of snow. I think that maybe, if this were small fluffy flakes instead of ice pellets, it might be 10”, but it is not. We have maybe 2 inches overall of hard pack. Yuck.
Yes, that is a solid mound of ice, after I took the picture, I tested.
What a nice gift for 2021: Texas snow. We haven’t seen snow since we moved in, so the kids were pretty excited. The puppy was not having it at first, then thought it was grand! She does like eating ice, and as Texas snow, what we have is really ice (very similar to snow cones). She really doesn’t mind being wet and muddy, and likes getting rubbed down with a towel. She is not a fan of getting her paws washed off, but if you dig in the mud, there will be washing.
Well a tiny bit of snow, but it is more than we’ve seen here since we moved in. I yelled like a kid out of school, woke my eldest so she could see actual flakes, had everyone in the house look outside, then let the teenager go back to bed. As a teenager, she was not impressed. I’ve had to modify her request (made at 10 years old) to be woken up to see snow. Honestly, it was a tiny dusting of snow, not impressive, but I do enjoy watching the snowflakes float through the air. We usually get freezing rain, which is only pretty on the tree branches when it is over, and makes driving a bear.
