Yes even down in College Station the artic blast has brought a lovely layer of ice. I don't believe we have had it as bad as Abilene--the ice hasn't been sticking to the roads. A&M closed yesterday and today--a nice surprise for the students. And my work decided to close yesterday! So I stayed inside as much as possible and did quite a bit of reading. Today we had to go in but not until 10:00. Thankfully I thought to get up a little early to have time to de-ice my car. Goodness gracious that ice would not budge! The fun part was watching big chunks fly off and crash into tiny pieces as I drove down the highway.
When I arrived at work I found out that the heat strip in the office was not working. So our office area if full of 60 degree air. My boss found me a space heater to warm my little body--I get cold when the heat strip is working! Needless to say I have yet to take my coat off and at times have donned my gloves.
I'm sure all the people up north are laughing at us crazy Texans for closing schools and businesses for a little bit of ice.
I hope everyone enjoys the ice/snow days!

Erin, glad you were able to get off work. We got Monday (MLK Day), Tuesday and Wednesday off from work (the last two days due to ice). I know how you feel about seeing the big chunks of ice fall off your car and shatter - very rewarding! Hey - check out my "ice day" pictures on my facebook. Stay Warm!
