Waiting for the Apocalypse

I'm in Texas. Southeast Texas. I'm right on the Gulf of Mexico.
Ladies and Gents...it's SNOWING.
SNOWING.
There is white stuff falling from the sky. What's next? Plagues of locust?

I've never really seen snow. I've seen flurries like this 15 years ago. It didn't really stick to the ground but today it was collecting on my stairs and it crunched when I walked on it.
It stuck to the dogs' fur as we took our morning potty walk.
Piper, the little one, shivered violently so I zipped her up in my coat as we walked.

Kids were out in force, running around screaming, "It's SNOWING!".
My phone rang incessantly with friends and family screaming, "It's SNOWING!".
Shit's out of control here!

Apparently, I won't be wearing shorts and flip-flops on Christmas Day.
It looks like I'll be curled up in bed shivering from flu-induced fever, instead.

Merry Fucking Christmas!
