Snow day

Note: This post is for my sister, Katie, who while she was with us complained that the winter wasn't as cold and wintery as it should have been.

Friday February 4th it actually snowed in Austin

Believe it or not, this is what Austin shuts down for. I didn't go into work yesterday because the freezing temperatures were causing power outages so they closed early, and then the salon stayed closed today because of the snow. School was cancelled as well! You may laugh at Austin shutting down for a mere 1 1/2 inches of snow, but the reality is that no one here knows how to drive when it's really slick, and Austin doesn't have snow plows or sand to help make the roads better. So, all in all, it's really better for everyone to just stay home and out of danger. I know I can drive in the snow, it's everyone else that worries me. But for now I'm just enjoying being home with my puppy and my love where it's nice and warm.
