Hey, it's a big deal for us down here! :)

I had some friends whose kids got to build their first snowmen ever, because we only get enough to even make small ones every handful of years. And it does shut us down when we get moderate storms (mostly when there's ice) because Austin has a lot of elevated roadways, and only a small fleet of sand trucks to treat the roads (like one truck per 50,000 people or so). We're just not built for it here.

But have your fun poking at us, we'll just return the favor in August. :)
