Hey. You're still here? It's over! Go home. ...go!
Nah, I joke. Hello, LJ! How are you doing? Hey! That's great! Well...in the news, Houston was supposed to experience a HUGE windfall of snowfall! The result? Niech, nada, zzzzzzzzilch! (What is niech?) Anyway, what we got instead was a FFFFFF ton of ice! It effectively shut down the entire city.
Gulf Freeway (I-45). CLOSED. Katy Freeway (I-10 West). CLOSED. Southwest Freeway (US-59) CLOSED. Westpark Tollway CLOSED. South Freeway (SH-288) CLOSED. Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) CLOSED. I'm not sure about Loop 610, that's what I jump on and ride all the way to Market Street, it was probably covered in ice as well. I got a text this morning from my supervisor, 'HOUSTON STAY HOME.' So naturally, I am... =^.-.^= There is still ice out there right now, I think; not sure. (Just as I was writing this, I heard this horrific long tire screeching outside, no crash thankfully.)
So, this was all around 7AM or so, about 10AM I went outside to snap some piccies. behind the cut.
Look at that mess! It almost got me on the way down!
I can just hear them snickering. F YOU DRAGON.
UGH ANYWAY, ICICLES. LOOK AT 'EM.
YEP. NO SNOW. JUST ICE ICE BABY.
MORE ICE. EVEN MY CAR GOT ICED.
NOT MY CAR. But, can you even tell if that's the ice or the regular clear taillamp housing? CAN YOU?
THAT'LL BUFF RIGHT OUT, YOU MANGA.
