Our cars are all covered in ice and you can tell the driveways are starting too.

All the overpasses are shut down and they're diverting some traffic off the freeways

not that I doubt you (I don't) but how? I am just interested. And do you think that much bigger band further west will get here?

Go to wunderground.com or weather.gov and look at the local radars for San Antonio. The type of returns on the radar for the drizzle are much more diffuse. This band is an area of lift associated with the low that extends up to North Texas.

The band near Sonora is all snow too, but that might be wrap around - I just really can't tell where the hell the low is. I think it is wrap around (on the west side of the low) so I don't think it will come towards SA but there is a chance it could extend down. I think this band is SA's best shot tonight to get maybe a quarter to half an inch and that will be it.

I just used whatever I had. The buttons are plastic push pin fasteners, the type you'd find on a car (wheel wells for example). The nose is a foot for something, and the hat is a part that's used to hold metal pipes in place.

I stayed there for an hour until my mom picked us up. I thanked the couple over and over and am thinking of a way to pay them back for taking my kids in.

As for us, Houston is still pretty iced over, will be until afternoon, and refreeze overnight. Now that my work issue has been resolved (thank you, assorted pertinent dieties), they need to go ahead and shut it down for staff. I'm not leaving, but SFIE is dressed and ready to catch a bus if necessary (which is SO stupid, his office is non-essential). Staff were screwed over on this one, and I'm back to outrage since my shit got taken care of (by some angel who drove in this am).
