The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Do you see that? There, on my truck.

Yes, I need to wash it...but there, on the bottom part...


Yup, that's ice. We're getting freezing rain here in San Antonio and it's a huuuuuuge deal. All of the schools are closed, and the morning shows have been on the air going on four hours now. I don't know why...there's nothing new to tell us. Last night, they told us all of the schools were closed, this morning, they could have told us in just their usual couple of hours that interstates are closed (because it's evidently really hard for TXDOT to get a truckload of salt from the panhandle) and so now they're just showing us all the same footage, giving us the same forecast, and showing us the same accidents hour after hour.

The media around here does this with any major weather event...they just can't tell us what's going on and shut up. They have to stay on the air constantly and give us bascially nothing to watch. If people are holed up inside their house, they don't want to watch the same thing over and over...we'd like some entertainment, please, and just keep that scrollbar going across the bottom of my screen. It does the same thing you all are doing...tells me the same thing over and over.

But as you can tell, it's nowhere near as bad as the ice store they had in St. Louis earlier in the week.


But, this is San Antonio, after all, and anything out of the ordinary here is a big deal.
