aussiew Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Are you up in Denton? There's no ice in Plano/Richardson.
Chilly Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 Are you up in Denton? There's no ice in Plano/Richardson. 523946[/snapback] No, I'm actually in Austin, thats the beauty of it.
aussiew Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Ice in Austin? All those government workers trying to milk the system?

I work for the government and I am sure damn glad that I got off. This is why they closed the University: Freezing Drizzle / Wind Low 26° F lol.
GoodBye Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 My University closed due to ice, haha, I love Texas. People in Buffalo would still have to work. 523933[/snapback] Sounds like Oregon. Our TV stations will actually cut into the middle of a show to tell us it's snowing outside. Oh brother...
stuckincincy Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Sounds like Oregon. Our TV stations will actually cut into the middle of a show to tell us it's snowing outside. Oh brother... 524118[/snapback] Same here in Cincy. A possibility of 3 to 5 inches Thursday night. You can't watch a local broadcast channel that doesn't inturrupt every half-hour or so with a "ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne!!!!-Storm Weather Alert!!!! Last week, a deadly *two inches* of snow was predicted - didn't happen. The local tv newsies were the very soul of sad disappointment...

I have never seen a store this busy...even on the day before Thanksgiving. The register lines were all the way down the grocery isles. People's carts were over flowing with toilet paper, water, milk, bread, etc. I was dumbfounded. Finally I asked someone what was up..."Didn't you hear? It's supposed to snow tonight." This is Long Island. It snows once in a while. What's the big freakin' deal?
UConn James Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 When I was at UConn/Yukon, it would take an Act of Congress to get that place to close. The only time it did was during a true blizzard.
