Re: Texas is closed
Perfect weather here. Tad nippy, but doesn't stop me wandering around in a short sleeved top. Beautiful blue skies, excepting the last day or so. Rained all night, soft rain, which is pretty unusual for this place, and overcast today, but back to wonderful sunny skies soon, I'm sure.
It has been a perfect winter this year. The last 3 years or so have been blooming freezing from beginning of November, but this year we've only had a cold day now and then, with really hot days iin between.

Not that I care right now
I vaguely remember whole seasons of ice and all that back in jolly old Endland, and believe it or not, going to work too

London just stops working in snow. A couple of years ago, hundreds of people couldn't get home all night because tubes and buses stopped working. Luckily I was in sunny Spain at the time and heard about it from colleagues later.
