Sweet. It's headed my way, if it can hold on for another 20 minutes or so.

Thanks for the post! I loved the little comment you had in it :lol: Are you sure it wasn't just hail from a supercold thunderstorm? :wink:

Great ground updates guys! Nothing beats reports from our very weather-savvy posters :cheesy:

Great! Glad it made it up your way.

Austinites, unite! Winter is here!! :P

I hope our friends in North Texas get in on the action later today. In all seriousness, it'll probably turn to light rain soon here in Austin so we might as well enjoy it while we can.

That's not sleet. A hired a migrant farm worker to fly a crop duster over your house, spewing ice he bought at WalMart.
