Snow Day

What? It snows in Austin?!?!
Looking out from our front porch














 
 
OK people did warn us that every few years it actually does snow here and they did warn us that when it does the city closes down. They were not kidding. School was canceled, work was called off and it was a bit like a ghost town. We found out because I thought I still had to go to work so Mike drove me down to the duplex to shower (day 3 of no water) and it was a bit like ice skating in a car. To the defense of these Austinites it is a little crazy because below that snow is a thick sheet of ice. There are no snow plows and no salt trucks so really you just have to wait until it melts.  And I am beginning to think that people actually pray for the snow because everything gets canceled but within a few hours the snow is gone and then you all got the day off. Target was busier then I have ever seen it today. ;)
