My apologies to the TV weather guys.

Yesterday I was leaving work a friend asked me about the upcoming weather. "I'm not expecting disaster," I said. "DFW TV stations try to make every winter weather forecast scarier than an M. Night Shyamalan movie."

I got up this morning and have attempted no trek further than the newspaper at the end of the sidewalk. They were right this time. It is a weather disaster.

Austin may not be appreciably above freezing until Friday morning, and then we'll have mid-60s by Sunday. Gotta love this time of year in Texas.

I can stand the cold, just ease up on the wind a little and please God, no ice! Thank you, amen.

Oh yeah, I'm in Austin and just got this status update on a UPS package tracking:

Latest Event: Mesquite TX

Strange. The weathermen bombed the forecast for southeast Idaho.

Most forecasts called for 1-3 inches of snow overnight. Instead, we got nothing but clear skies.

It was quite obvious that some people on campus did not pay attention to the forecast. That or they did not believe it. They were fun to watch as the day progressed or is it, digressed? I bet they are dressed better tomorrow!

I did see a guy at a HEB in Austin today in shorts and a t-shirt. lol

blizzard conditions in chicago for next 24 hours. went out for a walk in it, fun stuff. now to take out my jeep and do some 4 wheeling to back out out of the driveway

I blame the damn Green Bay & Pittsburgh fans. They brought this ****** weather to North Texas with them.

 

[Third Coast]

Yeah, I laughed at all the players saying they thought it was hot in Texas.

This so called worst storm in decades is rolling across the country like something out of "The Day After Tomorrow". Damn this global cooling!

Sign seen planted in Connecticut front yard after yesterday's storm........
"Unassembled snowmen for sale. Cheap."

 

[YoLaDu]

this will probably end up being the longest period of continuous below freezing temperature i have ever experienced in Austin.

Not supposed to get above freezing until Friday afternoon.

 

[kbrown]

It has not gotten above 10 degrees the last two days in Amarillo!! a heat wave is predicted for tomorrow...25degrees!!
