We've been iced in for two days now... work cancelled and most businesses in Austin are closed due to the inclement weather. We've had precipitation for the last two or three days, the form of which changes hourly. Things are dripping at the moment, but there is a pretty thick layer of ice on just about everything, and the temperature is not supposed to get above freezing until tomorrow.
Yesterday the porch looked like this:
Icicles on the gutter
Icicles on the porch railing
Icicles off of our porch roof
Snow on the ground in front of the apartment
Today it's even better. The icicles have really grown, and the layer of ice has thickened dramatically....

Wow, as usual, Austin is getting worse winter weather than we are over in east Texas. Dramatic difference from yesterday to today. Enjoy your days off!

I just saw on CNN that even SoCal is not being spared from the winter blast!

Yeah, Dan, we had to cover our dwarf kumquat tree on several nights to keep it from freezing. The citrus crop in the central valley really took a hit. It's fairly cold here today for California, 53 degrees.

CNN was showing shots of I-5, covered in snow. Where is that in relation to you, Karen
