Texas Winter?

For those of you unfamiliar with the intricacies of the United States' climatic geography, allow me to preface this post with a graphic explanation of said intricacies.


This is the US on most days.




This is the US today.

In San Antonio, it rarely gets below pavement-egg-frying temperature. I've really never seen anything like this since I moved here.


There are real icicles hanging from the truck. This was shocking to me.


Ice chipped off of it.


This is my frozen mailbox. I couldn't take a picture of it afterward, but in order to get it open, I had to give it a sound kick, at which it became detached from the pole and hung limp. I got my mail out of it, though.


More ICICLE MADNESS!

In an hour or two, I'm going with a friend down to the local park to slide down the biggest icy hill in the town on a skateboard with no wheels.

Glad to hear that, despite your assault, the mailbox is still able to function to the best of its abilities.

You need to try living in England! You can close your eyes, count to ten, and then open them, and no matter when you do this the weather will be completely different between each successive (and prolonged) blink!!

Glad you're still posting!

Haha. I love the "who cares" section. So true, so true!
