Only in the Great Republic of Texas

We currently have three weather advisories for most of central Texas (this includes a *certain* Dunndee who is living at a *certain* house in the Hood!):

Tornado Watch until 2 AM
Freeze Warnings until 12 PM tomorrow!
Winter Weather Advisory until 12 PM tomorrow!

Currently, I have my air conditioner on in the house and all the windows closed. It's 73 degrees outside (after climbing up to near 80 degrees today!) and uber-humid.

What a wonderful state!

The best part is that if the "Winter Weather Advisory" holds up, we will likely not have to go to into work until the ice melts tomorrow.

That's right, here in Texas if we get a drop of sleet or any sort of ice on the ground, we all stay in bed and watch the news until it gets sunny and melts away. Apparently we value our Hummers and assorted SUV's too much to drive in the ice or "snow."

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

    are you following the new stories about the russians being poisoned? it's fascinating!


  • Mean Rachel Says:

    Yes! And it's especially exciting because my trip to Moscow is falling in place for the spring.

    It has all the makings of a spy novel!

    The Russian News story is better than the new James Bond flick!

    BOO HOO! It's snowing here! (sob, sob)

    How glorious winter break will be when I migrate like the geese.

    Birds are so smart.

    My friend is doing a video piece where he leaves only the white noise from the EMS and NYFP dispatches during 9 11. He got the sound bites from this site. This place is has all these FBI, etc. files that have be recovered.
