Snow Day 2011

This past Friday marks the first snow day I have ever experienced in Austin. Most of the city shut down when temperature dipped well below freezing and snow (and ice!) started to fall. Our office was basically shut down for the day, everyone working from home.

Mark was on his way home from Houston Friday and didn't really get to play in the snow with me. He had been traveling all week for "road shows", ending a very long contract negotiation process for his airline. (he is almost done with this, yay!!!) I went outside around 7am to find the whole Triangle park blanketed with snow, it was beautiful. The snow hadn't been disturbed yet by dogs, footprints, or little snow angels. It was quiet, cold, and serene just walking around outside before dawn hearing the snow crunch under my feet. Lovely! It really made me miss going to Colorado to ski, I haven't been in a few years and I am desperate to get back, maybe next year!

Here are a few pictures from our Snow Day 2011 in Austin!
