When Sin City Freezes Over...

It's all up in my face here in Arkansas!

Our office was closed today in Dallas because of snow and ice.

Our office was closed today in Dallas because of snow and ice.

I like real snow, to a point. It was accumulated sleet over here.
Thankfully, most people stayed home, so there was very little traffic.
This morning, the brine trucks had hit the bridges, so they weren't as bad as usual.
However, coming home in the last hour, much of the rain and sleet that fell today has frozen, and there are patches of black ice on non-elevated roadways.
This is my Friday, and I'm not going anywhere for the next two days.
For my neighbors that have to get out tomorrow, it will be much slicker than it was this morning.
You guys be careful.

I never watch the news so I had no idea other states were affected. You guys stay safe!

It's a balmy 82 degrees F here in FL.
 
However (for FL standards), it was quite cold a few days ago (low 30's F) which lasted for about 2 weeks.
 
 
In Vegas, it almost always snows on Mt. Charleston (the opposite end of town for you Rain) during winter. I used to take the little ones for snow ball fights......but, I wouldn't want to live in a place that required shoveling it.

But posting in such a place is ok, ya? 
 

Content to feed the mind?? (in volume.......upto 11)

The older you get the harder it is to endure winter. We broke records yesterday and this morning for cold. It was actually colder here yesterday than it was on the North Pole. I hate it with a passion and since I'm in a city, well, it's just a dirty, slimy, salty ice hell.
 
If you are some place thats warm, sunny and has blue sky, please post a DETAILED description right here! 

It was annoyingly warm and sunny here today.  High 60's.  My sunglasses kept falling off and I started to sweat until I turned a fan on. 

I love the icy cold with a passion but I think I would be equally as happy if it was 55-60F all the time. As long as it wasn't humid. It's kind of nice to be able to walk around in a light jacket or sweater. Although I know Floridians are reaching for the sweaters when it drops below 80.

I still do not understand why we still insist upon living above ground. It's all ...weathery out there. Get a good cave, kick out the existing residents, and stockpile some essentials (like becan). Caverns usually have great reverb effects. Run some power and some plumbing in there and you're all set. There's no lawn maintenance, no aluminum siding to replace, and no noise from the neighbors. (Get your own cave!) It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. 
 
I have a strange urge to lurk under bridges and threaten to eat those who pass by. I'm also developing an unreasoning fear of goats.

Safe trip Bit.
