Austin's winter, usually awesome, currently sucking

WTF Austin? I sweated through a hellish summer and I was supposed to get the pay off now. It's cold and miserable and I'm no longer adapted to this kind of weather. At least we didn't get a "snowstorm" like they did in El Paso. Here are some pictures I took of today's shit weather.

Update on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 4:27 PM: In response to my frost bitten fellow Canadians calling me out for whining about rain in December, you didn't suffer through Austin's hottest summer on record this year! Not only has my maple syrup blood thinned to the consistency of tequila, but I also entered into a tacit deal with nature that I would tolerate its sun lashing in exchange for being able to wear t-shirts year round. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Never trust nature.
