No, not popcorn popping on the apricot tree.
SNOW!
No seriously, in Texas, that is legit snow. Yes, yes, I know, y'all are laughing now. I'm hearing words like "skiff" and "dusting" being tossed around. Easy now. This is Texas. It's a big deal. So I did what any wishful kid (in an adult's body) would do...I called my work's inclement weather hotline...and:
"The San Antonio area is currently experiencing hazardous weather conditions as some road closures are in effect due to the snow and ice conditions that developed over night..."
(Quick peek out the window - look at those driving conditions! Who would dare venture out there??)
"Employees who work at USAA's San Antonio campus, USAA's Federal Savings bank, and USAA's San Antonio financial centers should report to work at noon today..."
Excellent news! This meant I got to lounge around my house for a few hours wearing my new super comfy (and warm) down booties!
"Use good judgment about safe driving conditions and put personal and family safety first. Do not drive unless it is safe to do so."
Naturally I had to get in my car and test out these driving conditions! Plus, I just got new tires for my car a couple months ago. When else am I going to get to test them out on snow??
That and I had to take a friend home.
Frankly, I enjoyed my morning off. And I even enjoyed my afternoon in the office - there were a grand total of about 3 people there. Give or take. I guess most people decided that the roads were still too hazardous at noon. I'm sure the fact that it was Friday afternoon had nothing to do with it...
And, for your viewing amusement, a couple more pictures. Remember, this shut all of San Antonio down:
Hi patio...
...and rocks. (Up-close).
I love Texas.
Have a great day :)

Lol, that's awesome!
Can I also say that it was above freezing in Winnipeg today? And that just never happens in February (it's normally 20 below). Clearly, we have managed to create some sort of space-weather disruption, and we've swapped. Hey, as long as we're all happy - I say was can do this again and again. :)
