Also notice how quiet it is outside too.
Bright and quiet.

I'm from Wisconsin and had forgotten how snow reflects everything...

This is the third snow event in San Antonio since 1985.
In 1985, it was cloudy..
In 2017, it snowed at night and melted when the sun came up...

We have 5 inches today, so the snow is everywhere...
It's still below freezing.

I hope we don't get above freezing because the snow is insulating some of my covered plants..
It's going to get down to 10 degrees tonight...

Yes the snow can be blinding in the sunlight.
You can wear your sunglasses in the house if you want.

Or pull your blinds to stop the glare.

Ice pellets hitting the windows.

Enjoy your snow, it is better than ice.
