Since Texas seems intent on copping an icy attitude, cancelling various activities and wreaking general wintry havoc? I have something to say –
Now it came to pass in the second month, in the region of South Central Texas, in the Valley called Brazos, in which dwelt several hundred thousand inhabitants, there went out a prediction from the criers of the weather that a storm was approaching. This alarm was sounded when Abbott was governor.
Among the citizens, there was much looking into the heavens as the cold descended from the north, even from the Rocky Mountains in the west and as far as the Atlantic coastlines in the east and even from the far, far reaches of the provinces of Canada.
And those who had long lived in the area stated clearly that these threats of snow had long occurred only once a decade and they were much perplexed for they had received this white visitation only one month prior. Indeed, there had been a snowfall of great moistness in the first month of the year, amid much rejoicing and constructing of snowmen outside the citizens’ dwelling places, which stood several days hence before melting under the heat of the midday sun.
Even this had been the cause of much speculation since it had occurred only three years after a snowfall of similar but lesser accumulation.Now there dwelt in this region a family, who had descended from the tribe of Levi (Miller – that’s me!) and had moved them and all their belongings from the frozen land of New York in search of the promised warmth of the southern regions of the country in which they were citizens. They found it to be a goodly valley, warm and inviting, until now
.For they perceived that winter had chosen to visit them in a land where it was not meant to dwell. Yea, in the land of neither salt nor snow truck? Neither man nor beast possessed the knowledge or experience to cope successfully with the hazards of ice and snow as they settled, in all fury, on the unsuspecting landscape.
Now the day before the anticipated weather, one of the Levites ventured forth to procure several items at the local market and found chaos reigning. Indeed, there was confusion in every aisle as the coveted items of milk, bread and toilet paper must be procured for weather predicted to last less than seven days. Plus tax.
As the sleet descended upon the land, the snow came and the winds blew? This family was thankful for one thing. At least in Texas? Winter would not remain in a foreign region long and would soon return to the north from which it descended and where it should have stayed in the first place.
What in the world?
Not cool, Texas.
Not cool.
Soli Deo Gloria.
