I have FaceTard friends/family who have moved from Chicago to Texas. They have been sending amusing pics of what weather conditions it takes to close schools in Texas. I do understand, if you don’t have infrastructure in place to handle ice, then it doesn’t take much ice to ruin your day. Still, it’s damn funny from up in our frozen corner of the world.

Xshub should be an ambassador-he is a better diplomat than most of them...

On the eve of her Broadway debut the ingenue fell victim to the very stagiaire.

(could happen...maybe the volunteer cook, herself a thwarted thesbian--yes, I said thesbian--slipped her a mickey!)

Check this out!

That's naturally occurring "snow rollers" caused by just the right kind of snow and the wind. Freaky.

Yes and I defend the fact that there is no way to remove ice down here - so many freeways and roads and no budget for equipment or really any need normally. But you are right it is hilarious

If the idiot in chief really talks about climate change/warming, and threatens EPA stuff, he is really no smarter than those fools who has to be rescued from a ship stuck in the ice in “warming” Antarctica-has he looked out of a window lately? Public opinion is not with him at the moment on that one...

I’m confused. Since you are female, wouldn’t you say “estoy cansada”?

No, just in the newspaper. I haven’t seen any in person. Or ever heard of such a thing in all my years.
