OK, we had a snow day in Austin - schools closed! I had Abigail here so we played in the snow a bit this morning and then we decided we'd drive over to our favorite little Mexican restaurant. It's only a couple of miles, but in those miles we saw a car unable to turn the corner and slid right into the intersection, another car did a 360 right in front of us, and two other cars that couldn't get up the hill. Now mind you, we only had an INCH AND A HALF OF SNOW, FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! People around here just do NOT know how to drive in this stuff. We didn't even have any ice under the snow. The roads were snow packed this morning, but fine if you just went slow. When we came home and into the addition, we saw another car doing a 360 - I felt glad to be safely home away from the crazy drivers.

Now, at 5:00PM it is 41 degrees and all the snow is gone!
