SNOW AND COLD IN DESERT AND MOUNTAINS

Well,the unusual did happen.  It turned cold and it snowed!!! We were not expecting that but we managed anyway.  Not liking it, of course.  We woke up to a kind of cold drizzle fog that turned into a cold, windy, snow that didn't stick at first.  About a half hour out it still didn't seem to be sticking and there were lot of trucks on the road - mostly trucks at that time in the morning.  Then, suddenly, we all had to stop and we stayed there for about an hour waiting for we knew not what.  When we finally were able to move again we still didn't find out definitely what had occurred but supposed it was an accident on one of the bridges that got icy in the snow and cold.  Soon the traffic found its pace and we trudged on in the wind with no indication that the weather was going to get better.  We didn't have many miles to cover thank goodness and so stopped relatively early - about 3, I think.  It was very cold with the wind blowing so hard. 

This morning it was again very cold, 29 degrees but seemed dry when we started out so no problem.  We did run into some dense fog that dropped in and dropped out. But as it turned out we sailed along on clear roads and checked in here early today.  We are in Kerrville, Texas and tomorrow we will drive to Brownsville.  Then next day we will be in Mexico so I will have more interesting things to see I am sure.

Both of us have beaten this cold bug back and are well on the way to our usual good health.  I am determined to find a way to make this thing work to insert photos but maybe not today.
