Weird weather

Me too! It's 40 damn degrees outside! This should not be a thing where either of us live!
It's not 40 where I live, but it's down to 21 on Mauna Kea! The winds are blowing from that direction so the breeze here is cold even though the overall temperature doesn't reflect it.
 
Just stay after work a little.
Also make sure you have a scraper, blanket, and peanut butter in the car in case you are stranded, and don’t let your tank go below half. Maybe also carry some road flares, 12ga ammo in a waterproof can, and maybe a dirigible.

Heh, It's less than 2 miles to get home.

But the route passes the main entrance of a community college.

That entrance intersection claimed the life of my previous car.

I just went and found a magazine somewhere in the station to sweep off the snow. Steinman was right, after all, it was just a 6-inch pile of fluff with no ice underneath it. My youth in Colorado made me expect to always find an inch thick layer of ice below a 6in pile of snow, but this is Texas.[DOUBLEPOST=1512698415,1512698385][/DOUBLEPOST]It's still just pretty neat because it has literally never snowed like this since I moved here.[DOUBLEPOST=1512698907][/DOUBLEPOST]Made it home safe. The streets were understandably near deserted.

There are kids across the way making a Snowman on the lawn. Unheard of. My cat is absolutely flabbergasted.

It is snowing in Houston. In Houston.
It's officially the Endtimes.[DOUBLEPOST=1512712031,1512711567][/DOUBLEPOST]It was too good to last in BCS though. It's already back up above freezing and it's all melting away.
 
All the pine trees looked like confections. And there are at least a million pine trees on my commute in the morning. The clouds hung low and were a dark blue. Really pretty morning. Luckily the roads did not freeze.

Well, that is a snow.....thing.
It was PROBABLY a snowman last night, around 9pm (it's what I saw the kids making when I came home) but I didn't leave for work until 10 am this morning and everything was melting like crazy already :p
