Rush hour in Houston gives me the willies on a good day. I can't imagine what it's going to be like this evening.

Blast, remember to keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down!

I'm home contemplating a few fingers worth of Makers Mark while watching the snow fall. It's coming down hard but the weatherman's projected 5" was a wee bit premature.

Video of snow falling in my backyard here.

-Blast, who went in to work this morning ready to spend the night there...but then, I'm always ready to spend the night where ever I am.

Impressive. You going skiing later today?

I'm thinking more along the lines of towing my kayak behind my truck. Redneck snowmobile, FTW!

Enjoy it Blast. As long as you're not fighting traffic to get home I would consider it a rare treat!

We've been known to tow anything from a tube (like you pull behind a boat) to an upside down car hood behind a tractor.

HAHA, hooding is a great american tradition!

Since this is campfire, a snowmachine (snowmobile) pulling a lazy-boy mounted on skis is about as fun as it gets.

I wish Houston and San Antonio would send their weather North.

Alas, the snow has stopped here without any staying around. Considering we are only one good volcanic eruption away from a new ice age, I suspect I'll have another chance at snowtowyaking at some point...

DC is forecast to get 1-3" inches Saturday.

Gotta break out the tire chains....

So I can run to the store and buy a year's supply of toilet paper and load up on milk and eggs.

Snow forecasts are great for the supermarkets around here.

And bread. It's not an official disaster unless you make French toast.

Well it's been more than a decade since I've been in Houston, on business, during which I almost died from excessive heat/humidity (among other excessive contributing factors).

But I have to ask: isn't ANY snowfall in Houston a record, more or less by definition?
