What if you had an ice storm...

and the ice never happened?

So...I'm a bit late getting some posts posted and it's a Friday night and I've been working on a presentation and I sound like that song from You're A Good Man Charlie Brown Book Report.  ("If I start writing now when I'm not really rested it will upset my thinking which is not good at all.  I"ll get a fresh start tomorrow...")

The Ice Man Did Not Cometh on Tuesday (Jan. 28) morning at 3:00a.m.  We were expecting another round of ice to coat the greater Houston area.  And then, it didn't happen.  There was some ice, snow flakes, etc. but it didn't meet the expectations of the predictions.

Schools, city government and some businesses announced closures on Monday evening in anticipation of the The Ice Man Cometh Part II.

This is about all of the ice we received at The Calvinator's Crib.

The Ice Man Cometh

It happened again.  It hasn't happened in three years.  A fraction of an inch of ice brought Houston to it's knees on Friday.   We knew it was coming but there's very little you can do about it.

I grew up in Ft. Worth so I know ice baby.  I also know that a thin coating of ice on some of these mega flyover bridges where highways interchange are asking for trouble.   In a case like yesterday, it's always best just to stay home.

The surface roads were fine but it's the ice that you can't see that causes the problems.  And yes,  all the Yankees were making fun of us but give us a break,  this hasn't happened in three years.  And karma is a bitch!

All you haters who were laughing at us,  well just remember,  we're prepared for the heat.   We just crank down that air conditioning (as early as February) and start preparing for the long, hot summer.
