Holy crap.

It snowed in Austin!

It’s the apocalypse!

It must be like… a whole half-inch out there! of dry powder too!

And so, the city comes to a screeching halt. I’m seeing that all the school systems are cancelling school for today. Various work places are telling their employees to not come in.

My kids are homeschooled. I work from home. Life just chugs on for us, no break. This is one of those times where you debate the merits of being so home-based. I mean, “this close” to a 3-day weekend. 😉

See, I spent most of my life in places that got lots of snow. The blizzard hitting most of the US right now? THAT would be cause to shut things down for maybe just a day until the plows and sand trucks did their thing, and you spent all day applying shovel to driveway while the kids made forts and snowmen. Then you got on with life.

So I heave a sigh when we get this dusting and the place shuts down. People in Chicago are laughing at us. But then, probably a good thing to keep all the transplanted Californian’s off the road here, since they don’t know how to drive in snow.

In related news, Sasha the wonderdog is loving the snow (unlike some dogs). Just wait for July oh fuzzy girl….
