This is indeed a rare event specially that Crystal City experienced it first. Yesterday morning on my drive home from work at 7:00am, I talked to Wife like I do every morning, both our commutes are about 15 minutes long, so we have the perfect amount of time to say hi and if anything happened during my lunch going home or the rest of my shift. She was all excited that it was snowing down there. I was hard pressed to believe her, we were sitting at 46 degrees and we sit much farther up north than they do. She had some pictures and even some short videos on her Snapchat, managing to make a ten inch snowman on the hood of a car. I came home, did my usual routine, took Javalina to school and came back to bed. I woke up to him calling me to hurry up and pick him up, he was extremely cold and hungry. We ate a burger at Fuddrucker's, noticed it was cloudy and the temperature had dropped into the 30's by the afternoon. I thought there were some snowflakes when we got back in the car, but they were real light.
We went home, I showered and stuff and I was dreading heading out back into the cold, but I opened the front door only to see we were being bombarded by snow and it looked like a lot of it, I mean, for us. KVUE said 1.3 inches, I would say about two inches, but either way, it looked beautiful. As a result, I did the right thing and stayed home. I was pretty sure driving would be fine heading in to work, it's at night coming home for lunch, then coming back in the morning that I was thinking and worrying about. It is pretty simple for me, I can just make up the day next week, as we work a long week and a short week, and with our new manager he lets us swap that out rather easily.
Boy was a concern, his heater has been broken but he needs his car every day to go to school, so with all that built up snow and ice, we weren't sure how he was going to deal. Wife suggested I take him to school in the morning which I hated the idea immediately. Since Boy's friend had texted her earlier, Wife asked her if they would pick him up so he would be in San Marcos and ride the bus in the morning, and they ended up doing that. The last hurdle of responsibility to tackle was Javalina which by looking outside and how conservative their decisions have been with a little moisture on the roads, I knew they would close, and at 9:30pm they finally called and sent out emails that classes were cancelled. Wife had been a pain prior to that to poor Javalina about going to bed, talking to his teacher about a low grade, about tutoring, about eating. I wouldn't complain if I wasn't attached and my phone wasn't pinging like it's a radar on a submarine nearing the coast.
Once we got the release from AISD, the rest of the night was a foggy mix of sleep and wanting to turn on the laptop, just not quite making it. I woke up at 6:00am, just finished writing this at 7:00am and with nothing else to do today, I may even go get in bed and watch me some porn, I mean the news.
