Doesn't Europe take the entire month of August off because 30 C is too hot to work?Unfortunately no.

The Italians used to have soemthing called "feragosta" when basically the whole country went on holidays during 3 weeks in august.

And although it's still kind of a tradition in Italy even they can't shut down the whole country like in the good ole days.

[Shelly]

duh...i didn't see that! That's JB's neck of the woods!

Weatherbug has one at Braun Station ES

[MannyIsGod]

NISD and NEISD canceled tomorrow.

[MannyIsGod]

The New Terrertories is closer to you two isn't it? The NW crossing one doesn't seem to be working right.

yes, but it's closer to Kori than me.

Braun Station on WB (if they still have it) is the closest.

I don't think any incoming flights to SA have been canceled, have they?

[Sonia_TX]

I think the only flights that have been canceled have been the flights from North, Chicago, NY...so on. But not Cali...

[Samurai Jane]

Actually there are quite a few cancellations, according to the airport website.

[Slomo]

weather.com is calling it "SAN ANTONIO WEATHER: 32°F / 0°C wintry mix"

for some reason it made me think of this:

[Kori Ellis]

Actually there are quite a few cancellations, according to the airport website.

But those are flights being canceled because of the weather in the city they are coming from. I mean no flights have been canceled because of the San Antonio weather, correct?

[Samurai Jane]

I'm not sure.. some of those cancellations are from places like Phoenix and we are having perfect weather.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm not sure.. some of those cancellations are from places like Phoenix and we are having perfect weather.

Hmm...

When I heard the news earlier (but this was like 7am) they said no flights had been canceled because of the SA weather. But I guess that could have changed by now.

[MannyIsGod]

We've got sleet mixed with rain down here.

[tw05baller]

light sleet in schertz.

[Kori Ellis]

We've got sleet mixed with rain down here.

Does anyone else have the winter blues? I have it bad today. Although it may be because I am stuck in kiosk surrounded by a bunch of closed stores with no view of outside.


Oh well, nothing going home to my hot chocolate with bunny shaped marshmallows shouldn't fix. :)

[MannyIsGod]

The NWS discussions have really sucked today. Their latest one doesnt' give any info on what type of precip to expect. My guess is they have no idea, and since it really doesn't matter they're not going to say shit. Bastards.

Same here. I used to telecommute 100% of the time, because all of the people I work with are scattered across the country and beyond. Then we got a new VP who decided that everyone had to come into the office no matter how little sense it made. So now I drive half an hour to an office without a single co-worker and consume the company's electricity, phone, space, internet, paper, toner, etc. etc. etc. ... and am less productive than I was working from home.

Not to mention there's no such thing as a "weather day" when you work from home ... unless the power goes out, but then again I have a UPS and a generator. :toast

Jekka and Kori - Yeah, my friend's kid did the box of cookie dough fundraiser. It's neat, because you just pry out how ever many cookies you want, and bake them at 325 for 14 minutes.

LaChino - VPN is the shit. I just wish that it didn't take extraordinary circumstances to allow telecommuting. The big boss is VERY old school. I fucked off a bit today (a bit :lol), but don't feel bad because only probably 6 people out of 13 in my group have the connectivity at all, so most did NOTHING today.

I refuse to buy the fundraiser cookie dough. I would eat it all before they ever became cookies. :oops

[Melmart1]

Telecommuting rules! Sure you don't get ice or snow days, but you also don't have to make up that time later, work twice as hard later to catch up, or lose out on the pay like a lot of people. I generally get 3 days off a week anyways, so I don't mind at all.

We just went out for food and Starbucks. The sleet is getting bigger and heavier here. Its coming down at a good clip. The ice is picking up big time around here as well. The sleet picking up is a good sign for snow.

Kind of off-topic, but does anybody remember a thread on Fark (or elsewhere) from either 2004 or 2005 about a TV station that ran automated crawls for weather-related closings and people were submitting fake/funny, etc. stuff?

I just thought of that when I read one of KSAT's crawls that was really detailed about a certain program.

I'm almost certain it originated on a NC State Wolfpack message board.

drizzle here in schertz with the occasional few pellets of sleet.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Kori and Shelly, what is coming down at your houses right now?

You didn't ask me, but I've got rain right now.

[MannyIsGod]

K, you're close enough to them. If thats still pure rain coming down, the forget snow. Maybe solid sleet later, but even that might be pushing it. Thats bad because rain is the worst thing we could be getting right now.

[Sunshine]

It's cold and wet.

Yuck. I'm ready for San Antonio's winter to be over now.

[MannyIsGod]

http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KTXSANAN47


This is the weather station's graphs from the location nearest Joe/Kori/Shelly. If you look at the barometric pressure graph, you'll see that it was at its highest around noon when we were getting the solid sleet. Thats going to need to go up past that level for snow to form.

Cold air is denser and applies more pressure. So as you see that risiing, thats a sign the air is getting colder upstairs. Its kinda going up now, but not very fast nor very much, so I'm not too sure we'll see anything but rain.

[RashoFan]

I am getting the tink tink tink on the window pain from the freezing rain/ sleet.

[MannyIsGod]

NWS' latest discussion seems to indicate their best guess is that we'll barely miss out. It sucks that they're not sending up a damn weather balloon here, because that would tell us a lot of information on the conditions upstairs.

.DISCUSSION...
FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIP CONTINUES OVER MOST OF THE CWA WITH SFC
TEMPS MAINLY BELOW FREEZING. EXCEPTION IS IN THE SOUTHWEST WHERE A
WARM TONGUE EXTENDS INTO UVALDE AND THE PRECIP IS RAIN. SAT
IMAGERY SHOWS THE SHORT WAVE MOVING INTO WEST TX AND THIS WILL
CONTINUE TO CAUSE PRECIP THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING.
WISH WE HAD A LOCAL SOUNDING TONIGHT. 00Z SOUNDING AT DRT IS A
SNOW SOUNDING WHILE CRP IS A FREEZING RAIN SOUNDING. SO THE
QUESTION IS HOW DEEP IS THE WARM LAYER IN BETWEEN? FROM UA
ANALYSIS EXPECT COLD ADVECTION IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND WARM
ADVECTION AROUND 700MB. THIS SUGGESTS SOME DECREASE IN THE WARM
LAYER, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO CHANGE PRECIP TO ONLY SNOW. SO HAVE
ADJUSTED FORECAST TO KEEP SNOW ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY TO VAL
VERDE COUNTY WHILE TAKING THE SNOW OUT FOR MOST OTHER LOCATIONS.
WILL CONTINUE WINTER STORM WARNING UNTIL 18Z WITH CHANGES MENTIONED.

[Sunshine]

I just stepped out on the deck and it was just rain falling, no sleet. We're in the Encino Park area.

I had about 5 minutes go out a few hours ago, but the TV/power is fine.

[RashoFan]

Starting to rain/sleet a little harder now...I am a little concerned about losing power tonight. That would be sucky.

[MannyIsGod]

FYI, the last run of the NAM does have the freezing mark at the 5000ft level past San Antonio at around midnight tonight, and even further past at 6am, but its been saying that for a few days and it hasn't happend yet, so I'm not believing it very much.

Apparently the power situation is getting really pretty bad tonight.

San Antonio CPS Emergency Line: 353-4357

TBH, you probably don't need to call those numbers if your power goes out. They'll know.

We were just getting some sleet. I've got 3 tall oaks and a cedar tree in the back yard and they are totally bent over. Same with the tall red tips I have in front.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

TBH, you probably don't need to call those numbers if your power goes out. They'll know.

Probably, but I know Austin Energy was asking people to call in if their power went out, so I figure CPS would do the same.

[MannyIsGod]

Boerne seems to have a good amount of snow on the ground. And thats JUST north of here, so WTF? Com'on SNOW!

[Spurfect]

so who's not going to work tomorrow?
I hate that I have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out. either way I don't think I'm gonna be going

[PM5K]

I don't work tomorrow either, need someone to keep you company?

I'm not, but then again, I wasn't scheduled. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Trust me, those roads are going to get much worse in the next 8 hours. Theres just no escaping that. Unless it all switches to snow soon, then we're fucked. Even if that happend, we're still pretty fucked. :lol

At this point its sit and hope your power doesn't go out. God damn, I'll freeze if the power goes out :(

[LuvBones]

I have to wait too.. and if it does clear up by noon that's exactly when I have to start getting ready to leave. I don't want to work tomorrow!!
I hope tomorrow pans out just like today did. :D

[LuvBones]

Ooh.. I can pretend the power went out over here!http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidevil.gif

Better hope the boss isn't a poster.

[Sunshine]

We'll just chill here in the morning and see what the weather does.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm not too sure we'll get better before noon. The warmest part of the day isn't until 3-4, and we might hit 34 or so. So at noon it might very well be 32 and nothing will have started to melt. And when it does start to melt it doesn't happen right away, so while I understand the places like ACCD and employers not wanting to cancel an entire day again, I doubt they'll have any other option tomorrow morning.

[Spurfect]

Ooh.. I can pretend the power went out over here!http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidevil.gif

not that I wouldn't mind another day. it was kind of nice being inside all nice and toasty :)

[Spurfect]

[LuvBones]

What about tomorrow night? If I work I wouldn't get out until 9 and I don't want to get stuck downtown.. I live all the way on the northside.

[MannyIsGod]

Its gonna be cold tomorrow night too. :lol

Depends on how warm it gets tomorrow afternoon. If it never gets above freezing, then of course the ice will never melt and it'll be horrible tomorrow evening too.

[Shelly]

Steve Browne said IF we get flurries, it will be early in the morning. Mostly sleet/freezing rain.

[Spurfect]

What about tomorrow night? If I work I wouldn't get out until 9 and I don't want to get stuck downtown.. I live all the way on the northside.

I don't think you should go
but if you absolutely have to... you BETTER drive like a normal person :lol
actually, should drive like you're 84

[RashoFan]

JB...thanks for the numbers, I was going to look it up when I got internet back.

I am suppose to go into to work at 8am, even thought I am 5 miles away, I may not go in until 10 or 11am.

If you all will say a prayer tonight for the Police, Fire, EMS, CPS, TxDOT and other "poor bastards" that have to work tonight in this mess, I would appreciate it!

I am flipping through channels and I have the Transguide views from ch21 on...is it bad for me to want to see someone sliding on the roads?

[exstatic]

Well, no call from the boss, so I'm getting up at 6:30 to get ready to go in. I've got my route planned out to take surface streets and minimize bridges, and I'll stop to grab some breakfast tacos on the way in, because it's going to be a LONG drive. It's 17 miles or so, and normally takes 30 mins, but I'm allowing double that, and tough shit for them if it takes me longer than that.

[Spurfect]

<----guilty
just a little while ago they showed a clip of a two lane road, on one lane was a pick up truck, on the other was a tractor trailer/18 wheeler type truck. well the pick up hit a patch of ice and started swerving out of control, slid onto the path of the trailer, slid right back out before the trailer hit it, missed one other car, and stopped on the side in the grass :spless:

What's the best way to get the ice off the windshield if you don't have a scraper?

[RashoFan]

I am off to bed before the power goes out...we have had a few flickerings in the past 20 mins....Night everyone, stay warm and be safe.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Water will melt it, but we used a putty knife along with the water and it worked great.

[MannyIsGod]

DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If you use cold water, thats fine, but if you use hot water you're liable to fuck your windshield.

I never put it on my windshield, i put it on the edges of my door so I could get it open. I then turned on my defrost and defrosted my windshield.
