Hey, That Doesn't Happen Here!

A cold front came though today dropping temperatures as the day went on. Then about the time that I left work, it started raining, then sleeting. Traffic was slowed to a crawl, and I mean a crawl. It took me 3, yes 3, hours to get home. Now, my trip normally takes 45 minutes, but the sleet was coming down so hard that froze the road over while traffic was on it. But, the real point is that we don't have that happen here in Austin. That happens with some regularity in Oklahoma, but not here! We have this kind of thing happen once every 5 to 8 years, and never at afternoon rush hour! Anyway, it's not something we are accustomed to, and we don't plan to ever get accustomed to it either. So, probably we won't be going to work tomorrow. Hmm...well, now that's not so bad after all.
