[DeTomaso] Snow in San Antonio

[Orville]

Judy,
Perhaps you might consider what weather patterns people are used to
experiencing. No, we are not really wimps, but the infrastructure in South
Texas is not equipped for dealing with copious quantities of frozen
materials unless it within our Margaritas. Houston is also paralyzed as most
of the freeways have elevated overpasses which have 1-2 inches of ice on the
road surfaces and are impassable. Just to put it into perspective, by 5:00
AM, prior to rush hour, there had been over 100 major accidents on the
beltway 8 which goes around the city, and several fatalities due to cars out
of control crashing into other vehicles, bridge abutments or flipping over
after skidding on the ice.
You might find this clip humorous:

Must be wimps there!  What is 1/4"; that's not even worth thinking about and
temps in 20's; again not worth bothering about until its into the single
digits!

As predicted, we got a 1/4" of snow last night with temps in the 20's and
the 
city has come to a stand still.  All highways, schools, government offices
are 
closed.
I'm the only one of 40 who made it to work.  :)  Easy day.
