Texas and Snow.... not a good mix
The past two weeks have been insane. On Feb 1st, it iced over pretty bad and school and jobs was canceled for four days and then last day it was cancelled we had about 4 to 6 inches snow. When this happened they did what they call "rolling blackout" so every few hours we would got without power for about 30 min. Well this killed our internet and cable. So not only were we stuck at home but we didn't have internet and cable. Pat, Kim and Seth were staying with us so it wasn't that bad because we got to visit and just relax a little.
Yesterday at work I had a lady that just moved from Michigan and she pretty much told me we are WIMPS here in Texas. She couldn't believe we closed our schools down because I guess last week in Michigan they had 19 inches of snow and still went to school. My only excuse is we (Texas Peeps) A) don't know how to drive in snow, B) we don't have snow Plows, and C) our buses probably don't know how to drive in it. Also in Texas it is ICE not just Snow.

I lived in Idaho for a while during high school, and we only had 1 snow day the entire time I was there. And the only reason we got that was because it got so cold one time that the diesel in the school buses turned to gel so the buses couldn't run.
And by the way, I would DIE if I were stuck at home with no internet!!!
to add a note to that blog in all my life besides a few years living in Texas I have never experienced this and having school canceled and businesses closed. It was just crazy!
