It's Snowing, It's Snowing, the Winter Winds are Blowing!

Anyone who has ever been to Lubbock, Texas knows that typically, the absolute coldest it ever gets during the whole year is maybe 19 degrees. Well I am here to say that this week, it has gotten down to 2 degrees, -25 if we are counting wind chill (which is way worse than the cold!) As usual, the whole city goes into lock down the moment it gets below 25 degrees and we get a half inch of snow. School was canceled on Tuesday, (which, by the way, was totally pointless and now we have to make it up,) and it was delayed 2 hours both Wednesday and Thursday, (which was also pretty pointless, but I'm certainly not complaining!) It is again snowing right now as I am writing this. Although this weather may not be fun, I am really grateful that it finally actually feels like winter. Plus, now all of the true Texans here (while I was born here, I don't consider myself a true Texan) can say that they have survived cold weather.
