    • Ray of Sunshine

      From Emerald5usa Sunday

      Wow dallas that is allot of snow !!!!! And some fridgid temps. We do get allot of snow here too but not to often have I seen it ever hit that many inches now for several years. However we do get quiet abit of snow and the below zero temp "ugh" and your winters last long like ours. Been getting allot of rain lately which is unusual for this time of year but not complaining I would rather see the rain then the snow. Wishing you the best possible week ahead and pain free as possible. Take care always gentle hugs
