Very Late Freeze


Like the rest of the country, shivering from a very late series of cold fronts & blizzards, DFW had it's second latest freeze this morning. Average last freeze is March 13th. Latest freeze on record is April 14th. This morning it was 30 at my house, heavy frost on my car windshield, and the pansies looked dead - later recovered. UPDATE: officially it only got down to 36 at DFW airport. The NWS does indicate that Arlington, however, dropped down to 30.

Hey, Linda!
Thanks to your 123 post, I just stopped by. Good word, Woman, when do you have the time to stitch?
Methinks that your blog should have a tiny "Prairie Schooler" someplace, too! lol
Great Blog!
