Texas is closed
 
It got a bit cold and apparently they dont know how to throw grit on the major roads, so half of central Texas is shut down :D
Not that I care right now :beer:
I vaguely remember whole seasons of ice and all that back in jolly old Endland, and believe it or not, going to work too :eek:

I am sure its not easy being Texan in winter, seeing that every time you go over a bridge it warns you of the killer ice beast, they must pap there pants every time they go over a bridge or get the 9mm out and just kill the bugger. :scared:

I just got off the phone with someone in Dallas. He said they had 1/4 inch of icy snow, and so there's hardly anyone in the office today LOL!

Nobody ever believes me when I tell them that Texas shuts down completely at the first whiff of snow. :D

Same weather in SW Oklahoma - on the TV weather channel last night they issued a warning and advice on screen on how to keep warm.....lol! Something along these lines:

" 1.Wear several layers of clothing, 2.Cover your head, 3. Cover exposed skin" DOH! :o I'd never have thought of that!

Thank you Mummy!

We have to survive the boiling heat for six months out of the year. We like to take snow days. :D

Do they give you those stupid tips in the Summer too then? Keep cool by putting on the air conditioning, or keeping a fan running. Drink lots of water, blah, blah, blah.

Don't sit it the fridge, don't put your head in a rotating fan, don't look directly at the sun with a telscope....
