Texas Snowpocalypse!

Well friends you should all be happy to know that I have survived the snowpocalypse 2011 in Texas!

It was a close one but I managed to get through it!

The people up north would have just laughed at the news just like I did with these crazy Texans and their fear of any kind of white precipitation or temps below freezing! The news had called for the possibility of a half to one inch of snow and two days before the "big storm" was suppossed to hit they were already closing schools and panicking! They even activated the cities emergency preparedness plan! And this is pretty much all they got...



I mean seriously the news was giving lots of winter weather driving tips. Since they don't have much salt they were telling us all about the "deicing" mixture they were creating with sand and gravel. Car batteries were flying off the shelves to enable people to winterize their cars.

Straight bananas. Especially considering the fact that by noon the day of the snow it was already above freezing and the little bit of white on the ground was melting away!

So glad the there were no major casualties and the southerns didn't turn into popsicles!
