[TheOtherGuy]

Just like the news got to have some kind of sound effect. LOL.

Here we go .....

I will start this thread off with my first pictures of the ice. Feel free to post all your winter pictures in this thread. Those in city will be getting some of this stuff later on today I think. I am concerned about loosing power. That will SUCK! Anyway, here is my first round of pictures.

From this morning

My wife was gonna try to go to work today. Took me 20 minutes to get her car door open. Then it started sleeting. F-THAT! We ain't going nowhere.

We shall see what happens down in SA today......

I remember a few years back I was at a friends apartment with freezing rain and high winds. My driver side door was facing the wind direct. When I was about to leave, I had 3/8" thick ice covering that whole side of my Wrangler!

[TheOtherGuy]

Where's the freakin snow. Just went outside on a quest for the snow. Radar says snow. There ain't no snow.

[caferacermike]

I got nothing downtown Austin....

[TheOtherGuy]

No Snow. Sleet, freezing rain yes. My trees cannot take much more of this. Soon as it gets to be daylight I am going to take a look.

[TheOtherGuy]

Sleeting Big Time Now.

[Bill S]

Got a question. WHY are your chairs ON the table??

[TheOtherGuy]

I think cause they were too cold on the ground. LOL.

Actually, it was attempt to shelter the bird seed. Birdies have been tearing up the seeds.

Hey! We got Snow. Finally, snowing.......

[cbianco]

I live close to Downtown San Antonio. I am waiting for the snow.

[TheOtherGuy]

I see them!

I like the bird bath. Our birds are going nuts trying to get to the frozen seeds. We put some fresh seeds out. They seem very hungry.

Yeah, you can see the leaves frozen in the bird bath, lol.

The telephone pole picture is pretty neat looking. I like the way the ice sheeted over it.

Christina,
Where's FrankyJo's Toga?

Mark,
Don't wear that mask on a duck hunt because you might be mistaken for an XXL Mud Duck!

Steve

[NaCl_H2O]

I am dissapointed in all of you! A real South Texan stays inside waiting for this northern invasion of cold/wet weather to go back home!

Then again, most of these pictures are posted by "Austin" members ;)

Darn Yankees! :lol

Enjoy the weather! Kevin

[LoneStar]

I should have taken more photos before going to work yesterday. I had 3" of ice on my windshield!! :o Took 10 trips of warm water in 5g IO buckets to de-ice it! The rest of my Jeep had 1 3/8" thick sheet of ice all around. Looked pretty cool though....

[TheOtherGuy]

I have had enough ice for awhile now. I think I will be ready again in about 10 years. LOL.

Finally the sun came out
