we Texans dont know what to do when the temp gets below 32
especially if theres ice on the roads
thats when we like to go out and crash into things
I saw enough footage of that wreck in Fort Worth this morning to know that I would have called in sick instead of getting on the freeway. 

If I wanted to watch a demo derby I'll go to the county fair.

a couple things about snow when its around zero degrees

it's crunchy, meaning it makes loud crunching noises when driven on or walked on or compressed

it's also very light and fluffy - used my leaf blower on the driveway this morning

NOBODY in DFW had any business getting on the road this morning.

If Austin had those same conditions, I'd have made my wife and kids stay home.  

We get snow and ice so rarely here, we just don't have any infrastructure to deal with it.  No plows, no sanding/deicing crews.  Very few vehicles that handle well in those conditions.  And even fewer drivers who are accustomed to it.

When will we get realistic about climate change?  

That means realization it's too late.

that's going to take a long time, politicians can't send money to their friends if it's too late

Sunday-Wednesday we're supposed to hit a period where we spend 72 hours or more, below freezing. Including a high of 19 and a low of... 1... on Monday.  I can't really recall that happening in Austin, in my lifetime. 

Also have snow in the forecast for Sun, Mon, and Wednesday.  Since we already had one big snow day this year, that would be fairly unprecedented.

The climate is changing for sure. Or, the weather is changing. 

One of the two. Or both.
