Did I mention it snowed here yesterday?

People are not used to the snow here in Austin, Texas. The city gets half an inch and practically shuts down. That's partly because it has only 15 "snow trucks" (actually just dump trucks with sanders and plows slapped on). That's one per 47,000 residents. Here's some of the local TV news coverage of the "storm":

On Thursday night, everyone was waiting in anticipation.

Then the snow fell and people forgot ice was slippery.

A lot of people took the day off and went sledding on the "snow". (I enjoy this reporter's good ol' Texas gumption.)

And then it froze up last night and people were warned to stay inside.
