It was barely snowing this morning when I got up, and started snowing a little harder when I went out to run errands early. The snowflakes at that time were singular, and each were star shaped in beautiful different patterns. Snow started accumulating on the ground and vehicles.
The flakes have changed and sometimes were very small, and sometimes large and fluffy. Currently, there are intermittent flakes, but never have they accumulated on the streets and sidewalks, and all the accumulated snow on the ground has melted.
It is cold, however. Mid-morning, when I made my second errand run, I saw two accidents in less than a mile on the Loop in Lubbock. The Loop includes bridges over the major streets. The first accident was on the bridge over Indiana, and the second accident was on the bridge over Quaker. The first accident involved a United States Postal Service truck, the back door was wide open, and it appeared empty. I am guessing the contents were on the ground. Obviously, the drivers were not paying attention to the fact that the air was cold and the roads were wet. The drivers going by were traveling much slower than traffic normally progresses on the Loop.
I think I have all of my errands run now. I do not need to go out anywhere, I believe, between now and Monday.
Let it snow!
