January 21Jan 21 Need to go put my three peak mountain snowflake tires to work since they saw zero action in Taos

January 21Jan 21 Anyone wanna take bets on Austin-area schools tomorrow? I'm predicting two-hour delay.
January 21Jan 21 Kids had some fun and are warming up now getting ready for round 2 of playing. Sheep said they moved to Texas to get away from this.

I think the districts that encompass large geographically areas will be on a delay (Leander) but I bet AISD is on time. By this afternoon if the snow is mostly melted they will be in time I bet.
January 21Jan 21 Somebody on KUT gave a cautionary remark that if the melting snow/ice doesn't all dry up today it could re-freeze overnight and cause delays on Wednesday. fwiw, I'm looking at the downtown streets from my office right now and it looks like they're drying up pretty quickly.

Sun has been popping out for several minutes at a time, and we are about to go above freezing, so it’ll be gone by this afternoon.
January 21Jan 21 Houston should be an interesting case, supposed to get up to 38 today but currently its 29 and feels like 13. Several inches of snow on the ground. All schools already cancelled tomorrow but roads seem fine so far...anyone encountered ice?
January 21Jan 21 Popular Post My dog peed the state of Texas in the snow this morning. We are very proud.
January 21Jan 21 Just got back from the hills at Stude Park. Musta been tubing with the kids for almost 2 hours. Maybe 2.5-3 inches of snow on the ground

January 21Jan 21 Good snow pics. Keep em coming. Warming up the beast this morning in case I needed to go somewhere.
January 21Jan 21 Getting flashbacks to 2021…luckily no power outages or sounds of trees splitting in half from across the hood.

My thermometer is weathered I guess....I'll take a picture of the whole thing next time. It was a gift from my youngest, he was visiting Mount Rushmore and just knew I needed a thermometer.

So I’ve tried various techniques to try and scare them off, with no luck. I’ve resorted to just throwing tennis balls at them. Two days ago I walked up to within 6 feet of one camped out on a limb eating, and I whizzed the ball within an inch of his head. He just looked at me and went back to eating. I despise these animals.

My cat has absolutely went scorched earth on the tree rats. He stopped leaving birds and just leaves me dead squirrels now. I drove into work and there are only a few people here. I got so much work done with it being quiet. Very efficient morning. Now I am realizing how dumb it was to not bring food. Hopefully something is open today in South Austin.

January 21Jan 21 meanwhile, in balmy tropical New Orleans… It is really snowing pretty hard right now and it is 26 outside.

January 21Jan 21 So I've always wondered -- do you think she really needed those braces, or they were cosmetically installed for dramatic character effect?

January 21Jan 21 I bet there will be enough ice overnight to delay AISD. May get below 20 tonight. One of the holes at the Circle C disc golf course... Which reminds me, one of EvilMopac's pictures once again confirmed my suspicions he lives in Circle C Edited January 21Jan 21 by texasdago
January 21Jan 21 Apparently, the idiots in Louisiana did not get the message about staying off the roads because I just got this text sent to me
