We're getting some Oklahoma-type weather down here in the ATX. It was sunny and 60F yesterday, but just now I had to scrape ice off my bike as I moved it from a rack on the drag to a more secluded spot. Thinking I could ride my bike to class, I left the house late for the class I TA, but I stepped outside and quickly realized I made a questionable decision. I went back in and put on a parka shell, but I didn't have enough time to walk, let alone catch a bus, so I rode to class in a little freezing drizzle. Now that I'm out of class its 30F, and there's ice on my bike, which tells me I should just catch a bus and come back tonight with my truck. This is easily the coldest day I've spent in Austin.
Oklahoma-style weather is right. This isn't much by yankee standards but it does remind me of my middle and high school years in Stillwater. I used to walk through pastures a couple of miles to school and still have fond memories of doing so after a good sleet or freezing rain, with every blade of grass sheathed in crystal. My kids aren't old enough yet to have tired of my telling them about it.
