Yes, there are supposed to be flakes in Austin today. Not just your typical Austin Weird, but actual flakes of snow… which is weird all by itself.
It has been reported lately that we should expect snow this morning. I will admit that it is cold outside, but snow? I can only remember a handful of times that it has actually snowed in Austin. Even if there are flakes in the air, they rarely make it to the ground and accumulate.
And really, why couldn’t it have snowed early this morning so that I could have stayed in bed and “worked from home” instead? Doesn’t Mother Nature know that Austinites freak out when there is anything on the ground.
You can tell by the local news coverage that even the mere possibility of snow is the only thing newsworthy right now. Even if they discovered a cure for cancer, the snow forecast would still be the lead story.
So, cross your fingers. If it does indeed snow, I’m making a itty-bitty snowman! Pictures to be posted later. Bring on the hot chocolate!
I saw some flakes on the way to work. One was on the phone doing 10 under while people were having to go around her.
ReplyDeleteI told Pumpkin that it might, but probably won't, snow. She said "It probably won't? Can we go somewhere else?"
Get ready for Austin Lockdown 2009. If I look carefully I can see snowflakes outside my window right now.
LOL Your Hubs is funny. I hope that flake wasn't me!
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't already know what snow looked like, I wouldn't have known that's what those 20 fluffly looking things were that fell in my yard.
