Pleasant day here.  Like to thank Jesse for passing along the wind (as opposed to passing wind).  A balmy -23 C but thanks to the Gap wind, windchill has dragged us on down to a lovely -40 C.  Perfect winter weather.  Exposed skin freezes in 10 minutes or less.  Yay :D

We got Freezing Rain yesterday...Sunday it was 2 oF and then it Rained coating the roads with a good 1/4" of ice.  And then last night there was about a 1/4" of snow on top of it all.  It's great ::)

Oh that's the best, the hidden skating rink effect.  Just a real treat for driving.

We have Snow in the mountains. None in the valley, well, none that stays. This ski resort is 25 minutes up the mountain from me.

Dale, that rules. Any idea what the punchline translates to in English?

Not Danish according to my Mac Sherlock translator... It does look Scandanavian though...

It is Snowing here in Fort Worth too, of course it was 70 degrees yesterday so it isn't sticking to anything but cars and rooftops.  By the time to drive home, it is going to be colder and that means...Hockey with Cars....

Yeah, it's stuck to the roof and some of the grass here - but nothing much.

Of course, I'm flying out tonight and will have to drive to DFW in the middle of all this, with a sedated Boston Terrier, and get there in plenty of time - around 4:00...

It looks like a blizzard up here in Plano where I work. I hope we get to leave early because it's supposed to get really nasty after 4pm.
