2 hour delay

Austin got about 1.72546780398 centimeters of ice last night. This has resulted in the complete shutdown and evacuation of the city. You see - unless ice is contained in our tea glass, Central Texans are scared of ice. The news keeps replaying this great footage of some moron driving down I-35 and getting into a spectacular NASCAR crash.

Oh well, we get to go in late today. This should make for an interesting commute.

The best quote of the morning:

Field Reporter: "They have just opened up the fly over. It seems the ice situation has eased enough to allow cars to pass."

News Desk Guy: "That's great news. Say, Jim, is it cold out there?"

*Sigh* - they've been on 24 hour coverage of the weather since Monday. Yes, moron, it's cold outside.
