Instead of my normal sunset photo of the lake, here's today's view.

I think we have 4" so far.

We are staying above freezing so just getting rain. Pups are getting bored

Lavon. It's about 8 miles west of McKinney.

It's been raining lightly for the last 2 or 3 hours. It's gonna freeze the snow into ice on the roads and highways after sundown and into tomorrow morning.

It's too bad I don't live in Plano anymore. It's always big entertainment to watch my fellow Texans navigate that ice.

Told my son we aren't going out today....let all this stuff settle down a bit. I suspect a few days of this weather with ice possible. Is that what you are expecting as well? Rain has picked up for us in Bandera County

Yeah. They're saying rain until late tonight. After it freezes the fun will start.

Stay safe if driving out and about

Been pretty mild so far, we’re currently at about 6. Of course we haven’t had to be out in it. It’ll be interesting as the snow melts and ref overnight on Friday into Saturday.

Have you been up to Texoma to boat ever, looks like a nice lake. I've had a job offered before in McKinney. Looks like a nice place to live.

We went to Texoma a few times, it's about a 90 minute haul. Most of the time we were on Lavon, because of the many friends, the ability to parasail from the island, and the crappie fishing. It was a 30 minute drive from our home in Plano. Now there's a boat ramp about half mile from home.

But I don't think we'll be buying another boat. My physical infirmities are such I don't think I'm up to being the mechanic, cleaner, operator, hauler, and all the other stuff that you don't notice when you're not an old fucker.

McKinney and Frisco are both really nice.

I hear you, I'm 62 and hope I can still boat for another 10 years or more. I too wear all those hats as a boater, lol.

I found out a couple of days ago a friend has a nice glitter boat on a lift at the biggest marina on Lavon. I'll be going crappie fishing in the spring. Turning the lever on a boat lift is within my capabilities.

I sold my last boat at 63. It was still fun to go out, but my wife was no longer up to helping, and i didn’t enjoy all of the before and after stuff. Sold our vacation place shortly after that as well. We prefer to let the ship’s crew handle it now, while we sit at the aft bar.

Probably my own fault, as I always told our friends “I can handle it”, so when I could have actually used the help, it was no longer being offered. Of course, they’re all older now too.

Sometimes you just need to get some sledding in, and you don't have a hill.

We boat Texoma - It is a big lake and can kick up quick but there are so many places to go it is that big of a deal. This is out at the North Island which has really nice sand beaches in the middle of the lake.

It snowed most the day in our area and we ended up with about 5" so far with the most to come tonight. These pictures were around 10:30am

That sounds familiar

That looks like a pretty sweet lake, nice taste in boats!

Its coming to my hood tomorrow... anticipating 2-6"

Just like LA, everyone forgets how to drive in the rain. Cant wait to see how bad they get in the snow!
