The countdown of days has begun...Austin, here I come!!
Meeting my papi for the first time. He's promised the best BBQ & seafood in Austin, and I'm sure he won't disappoint! Keep those suggestions coming, y'all!! (Ok, NY girl practicing her western 'talk', lol) I hope to meet some of you all while I'm visiting your great city. :) |
What's going on in Austin? Ebon and I are apartment hunting. They can run, but they can't hide. :blink:
|
Wow, it's so cold this morning! I had to lug a rolling file behind me whilst walking up an icy cold wind tunnel. Not a pleasant experience, but I am loving this cold weather. Reminds me of my childhood :) Off to take pictures of the frozen fountain!
Stay warm, my fellow Austinites :cold: |

It's all listed on page 342 of your Welcome To Austin Handbook. Right past the diagram about the correct pronunciation for "Buda." |
Y'all be safe......the weather's icky~slicky!!!!

My honey told me you had 2" of snow today...tisk, tisk, my heart goes out to you - I have about 4 feet of snow in my driveway, so 'compassionate' is not a word that readily comes to mind, lol
Well, folks, dig yourselves out as best as you can, and...welcome to my world!! lol |
One of the many reasons we live in Texas!
|
So Texas got snow huh its awful here in the Northeast especially NY and NJ wish I lived down there where there is just two inches!!
|
And much of it is gone, now.

Yes. Try 2" and no salt or mag chloride on the roads. What people in other parts of the country tend to forget is that we don't have the preparation y'all do. So we have 1" of ice with 1" of snow over that. Come down for a spin. I'll stay inside. Even seasoned winter drivers can't handle ice driving without salt. |

but up north they have equipment, they now have "brime" to put on the roads hours before a storm. here in Texas, they did what they could, with what equipment they have...which is nothing compared to the mid-west / north. they put sand on bridges but that didnt even work. several wrecks today, and a lady was killed when she slid off a bridge. ( course, my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends ) so, now i get it, now i understand why when i lived up north and would watch on tv, ppl here was driving and wrecking and sliding all around. |
Sorry. My last post comes across a bit cranky. It's just that I've lived in Colorado through three back-to-back blizzards and at least one other that I can think of. I've driven in that nastiness.
I used to laugh at people up there who couldn't drive in downpours. They'd be pulling over to the side in what, to me, was just a little boomer. So, I guess, what I need to remember is that we each have our own experiences. :) Sorry if I sounded ugly. |
