It's beginning to look a lot like...

...the midwest.

OK, maybe not, but we did have sleet yesterday.

Of course, it was 40 degrees outside, but it still freaked out the natives.

I was off for the day because our sitter's husband just arrived back from Iraq and she had gone up to Ft. Hood to pick him up. I had gone to visit some friends and found out it was sleeting around 3:00. We got on the road at about 3:30 and it took us an hour to get home.

No accidents, just slow.

As I was driving through our neighborhood, I noticed that all of the roofs had ice in the valleys. It was a pretty odd thing to see in south Texas.
