Weird-Ass Austin Weather

The current weather in Austin is wacky, man.

It's below 30ºF but according to Weather.com, it "feels like 17ºF." Sleet is falling from the sky, covering everything in a blanket that is criminally similar to snow. We're under a Severe Weather Alert from the National Weather Service warning about possible flooding, since we've had a lot of precipitation over the last two weeks.

This of course means that all the area highways are completely ruined for transportation purposes. I've seen how central Texans handle slippery weather and it is pathetic. This is beyond anything I've seen in six years of living here and I'm glad I got home before this shit hit the fan.

Let's hope this freezes out any possibility of going to work in the morning!

UPDATE (11:08pm)
Sweet! I got the call a little while ago. No going in until 10am. That's a sign to crack open a brew and pop in a DVD.

UPDATE (2/25 9:40am)
Yeah! Work is called off entirely and the roads are a mess. The first real winter storm I've been exposed to in Texas.
