A couple of icy pictures taken from my front doorway.

[LynneSin]

1. Wow and you live further south than I do - right?

I've yet to see ice. Hell I haven't worn a coat all winter

[GOPisEvil]

2. Yep. This is our (hopefully) annual ice storm.

It's freaking COLD!

[LynneSin]

3. Ramsey wants to know when we're going to Tampa

:D

[GOPisEvil]

5. Not sure...

...my vacation days are tied up for the forseeable future. Until we get those Star Trek transporters get invented at least...

[LynneSin]

12. What's the hold up on those transporters

I'd pay extra just for the thrill of getting there in 10 seconds.

[GOPisEvil]

15. No kidding!

Stupid Heisenberg! x(

[Midlodemocrat]

4. Me neither. Right now, I've got shorts on and the windows open.

Freaky, freaky weather.

[GOPisEvil]

6. WTF?!

I'm in flannel pj pants, a tshirt AND a hoodie...oh and socks, too. :scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Not kidding.

In fact, when we were doing our backyard, we had a fireplace put in for this winter. We've used it once. It's been too hot. :eyes:

My son keeps turning on the air conditioner in his room, but I am totally drawing the line at that.

[GOPisEvil]

9. It's a balmy THIRTY degrees here right now!

My front walk is covered in a thin sheet of ice. I think we have your winter and you have ours. x(

[Midlodemocrat]

10. Well, it is supposed to go to 40 tonight.

:rofl:

Sorry, dude. Actually, this weather is totally freaking me out. But, there's no such thing as global warming. :eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

11. We're going to be in the 20s tonight!

x(

[Skittles]

17. I am LOVING it, David!

the colder the better - it's the Scandinavian in me I suppose :D

[GOPisEvil]

19. I don't mind the cold, but the wind SUCKS!

I'm not THAT broken up about sitting on my ass at home either. ;)

[Little Wing]

8. Wait till tomorrow, you'll change your mind about open windows

and today it wasn't just an ice-scraping to see through my windsheild, it was a battle against the elements. The first 20 minutes were just shaving the bumps off the top of the ice

[Madrone]

13. Bwahahaha!

Serves you right for talking smack about the weather HERE. ;)

Where's that tree/bush thingie?

[GOPisEvil]

16. It's the mulberry thing that's technically in my neighbor's yard.

Brrrrrr! :scared:

[Madrone]

23. Standing at the front door facing the street -

It's to the left?

Still colder here I think - but no precipitation.


*sigh* Guess I'd better go fire up the coffee pot and get in the shower :( I HATE mornings.

[GOPisEvil]

26. Yes, to the left.

I'm sorry, hon. :hug:

[Texasgal]

14. FREEEE DAY!!!!

WOOT!!!

I'm doing the happy dance in my PJ's!

[GOPisEvil]

18. I'm waiting for a 9:30 phone call.

My guess is that we'll have to go in at 11. :eyes:

Of course we didn't go in yesterday due to the weather.

[Skittles]

20. what is this OF COURSE shit?

some of us HAVE to go to work - the work does not stop because of the weather!!!

[GOPisEvil]

21. Hey, I was getting ready to go in, and they called me and told me not to.

:shrug:

[Skittles]

25. WUSSES

y'all are wusses - I remember last year they called me in on my day off because someone "couldn't drive on the ice" - I drove 20 miles in a 12-year old car with bald tires and picked him up and dropped his ass off at work - took him home too.

[GOPisEvil]

27. Hey - I just do what I'm told.

If I had to go in, I'd have figured it out...

[Skittles]

29. it's just as well

it's like a holiday for me when most people don't show up for work

[Texasgal]

30. we ARE wusses...

I agree. :P

So, do you have the day off? :)

[Texasgal]

22. It appers that the state is closed..

Unless you are counted as "essential personel".

I had to wake up at 6:00 a.m and start rescheduling all of our surgeries. :eyes:

I honestly do not think you are going in dear! get comfy and keep warm!

[GOPisEvil]

24. I don't work for the state anymore.

Haven't since October 2005.

I work for corporate 'Murka now. x(

[Texasgal]

28. Oh... I had no idea!

Jeez.. that just goes to show you how much i have been paying attention!

[merh]

37. hey TG!

:hi:

Keep that cold shit over on your side of the Mississippi.

:scared: I don't want it here.

have a great "freeze day" :hug:

[GalleryGod]

42. Ha!

[BluePatriot]

36. man, I so wanted one of those

*fumes at work in Houston*

[Richardo]

31. Take your Christmas icicles down for Pete's sake...

..you're embarrassing the whole neighborhood :eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

32. Hmmm...seems to me my neighbors haven't gotten the memo.

:P

[Fleshdancer]

33. This weather SUCKS!

It would be one thing if the weather would have gradually gone down this low so that we could acclimate ourselves to it but noooo, it was in the mid 60's last Friday! x(

My husband is suppose to fly back from his business trip today but his first attempt at flying into Austin was canceled due to the ice so now he's stuck in Chicago. Meanwhile I've been stuck in my house with a bored 6yr old for the last few days and she's sick of me...I'm sooo looking forward to her teenage years. :eyes:

[KG]

34. Florida rocks!

just saying...

[Tsiyu]

35. A Snow Day!!!! er.........Ice day?

I bet all the kids in Texas are jumping for joy this morning. NO SCHOOL!!!!!

And if I were you, GIE, I would just ignore the phone, stay in your jammies and watch movies between naps.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

38. I just called the emergency number - WE ARE CLOSED ALL DAY!!

:bounce::party::woohoo::applause:

[Madrone]

39. You suuuuuuuuuck.

Weather is never an excuse for not getting to work here. Hell, I had to work when we were out of power all day.

Well, it's an excuse if you work on the Seattle side and they close the pass --- but other than that...

You won't be :woohoo: though if they snake your vacation days. :(

[GOPisEvil]

40. See? More reason you need to move!

:P

If they make me take vacation days, I will be one seriously unmotivated employee. If they had opened the building, I'd have gone in, THEY made the decision.

[GalleryGod]

41. Damn, Dave.

This'll melt it !
