SA knows how to handle cold weather!
I think today and yesterday have brought the most wintery weather we've had since we moved to Texas. It's been right around 30°, but since it's raining and sleeting everyone is pretty much freaking out. It's kind of nice because TX Department of Transportation does not hesitate when it comes to closing roads. I guess because there are so many bridges and overpasses where the ice is really bad. On the news they're reporting that there were over 600 accidents in San Antonio yesterday.
My work had late reporting, so I didn't have to go in until 10:00, then they ended up letting us off at 3:00 since it was only supposed to get worse. Today they said we'll be open for business as usual, but we have to use our own judgment to determine when, or if, we will go to work. I called in and said I'll be there at 10:00 again. I'm *hoping* they'll send me home early, but the news is saying the weather is going to clear up after lunch. Bummer.
This chilly weather makes me want to go SKIING!!!
Since I have a new camera, here are some pictures:
Sorry you can't really make out J in this picture. To be quite honest, I didn't have on shoes or a coat, and I really didn't want to stand there with the door open any longer! :)
Anyway, this is a slab of ice that he got off his car this morning. He also broke our ice scraper. That could be pretty bad news for us since we could have up to...maybe...one more day of icy weather this winter!

That's stinking crazy! We have plenty of cold but absolutely no precipitation. I hope you get off work early too.
Sweet, I wish they would close my work and continue to pay me! That would be the bomb diggetty!!!!
I love cold rainy weather. It is cold here but the sun is shining. Mt. Shasta is waiting for you.
I remember days like that when we lived in Dallas. One time, there was a layer of ice frozen on our street...just our street. The others were open. Never did figure that out. But Dad got to stay home, because he couldn't even get the car out of the driveway, much less the street!
it was pretty cold here. We've had temperatures below freezing...about 27 degrees...for the past few nights. Got a lot of plant damage. Stay warm.
That sounds like fun! I have been reading everyone's blogs and feel like everyone got a day off to freeze except for me...I don't know whether to be jealous or thankful.
I do kinda like the cold, but it would be nice if it could rain or something! That's a cool picture of the icesickles. (Is that how you spell that?) I want to go skiing too!!!!
I hope that y'all protected that piece of ice that J is holding. If so, you can use that as an ice scraper next time since he broke yours. Cool idea, huh?
I also got no days off for freezing rain. And we don't get any off for stinking hot days in the summer, either. No fair.
