Yeah, considering the temps will be dropping or hovering in the mid 30's. Be safe!
Actually, mid to low 30's for the rest of the daylight hours. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...weekday=Friday | | | |

Is it actually cold enough to stick to the roads, or just the shrubbery? Nothing around here yet.

what's it called...vadose? it's suppose to get colder later as ken pointed out.
work leaves it in our discretion on when we can leave. my billables are good for the year, but i'm kind of enjoying what I am doing today, so I'm not going anywhere until it starts to drag on.
the snows a treat. for awhile it looked like Alta on a good powder day outside my window. | | | |

Holy crap! I'm on the north side of BW8, and it's not even sticking to the ground. We get a few flurries that thick, but it's not stacking.
edit: I take that back...It's getting pretty thick here too now.

Darn, I was hoping to get a Christmas card shot of some snow on prickly pear tunas, or something similar. But nothing happened around Austin at all, and now it's all sunny, and the clouds have passed us by. Houston got all the fun.
