I am at work, but looking at the volume of active threads, I would guess that many who regularly participate are off, which would mean they are contributing to this forum on their workplace computer.

Working from home, due to freezing conditions, not MLK.

This town shuts down when a freeze hits, people don't know how to drive in this kind of weather.

Same here.

But winter states have superior equipment capacity and road treatment processes. It would take a serious hit to shut down the cities in the states I used to live in (IL, MO, KS, CO and MN).

Driving in this stuff here in TX doesn't scare me nearly as much as what the guy near me is going to do!

Yeah I think in I heard somebody tell me that Austin has two snowplows.

I used to live in Sacramento, so I visited the mountains a lot. If we were in Tahoe, this would be a nice day and people would be out doing all sorts of stuff.

It was a joke about being on the workplace computer doing personal stuff. Of course I would never do that.

Ha, Ha. We finally have the four year old sleeping through the night without a pullup. Now if the boys will lift the seat, my life would be perfect. Making them clean the pee covered toilet has caused them to actually think about it.
