It's been my observation Houston only gets snow every 20 years or so. If we're lucky we get an inch or so. Most of the city had record amounts of 3-4 inches which breaks long held records.
I had to work, but I can imagine how all the kids reacted when they woke up and saw it.
Today I went in to work and I needed help from a manager. I know he has 5 small kids. I asked if they had fun in the snow.
He is a middle manager. Fairly new to our store. He seems like a good guy and a fair (equitable) supervisor.
"They did" he said sadly. "But I wasn't there, I had to work".
This is probably a once in a lifetime event. And he missed it. I thought that was so, so, sad.
We had a big blizzard on the East Coast when I was a kid. We had I think 3 feet of snow on the ground. The city came to a stand still and we missed so much school they had makeup classes well into July.
I don't remember much - I made a snowman. Tromping around in my little snowsuit and boots. Mom making me hot cocoa when I came in. Dad throwing snow balls. Those are once in a lifetime memories for a once in a lifetime event.
I felt so, so, bad, for that manager. He should have called out.
