Ice Day

Its true. San Antonio gets snow! Its been the talk of the town for 25 years (the last 'major' snow fall was in '85) Granted, it wasn't much snow but there is (was?) a lot of ice. Schools, businessess and all major highways are closed (at minimum 'delayed') due to the ice. Particularly the overpasses and bridges.

Michael and I didn't really know what to expect and almost laughed a little when people were talking about not doing anything today.

Well, I wouldn't want to be on the road with hundreds of people who have no idea the consequence of ice, tires and braking. And since some employees don't feel safe driving in it, to make it fair, they all get the day off. awesome!

Here's the proof :

Supposedly other parts of the town had more, but this was enough for us. It was fun to walk out and see all the neighbors out too, kids sledding down their driveway into the street, making good use of being out of school, knowing the snow would really only last a matter of minutes.

Glad we could be a part of history and "the great snowfall of 2011" which I'm sure will be the case for the next 25 years.

It'll be back in the 70's in no time.
