Austin is reeling under the largest snowfall in years. While no official announcements have been made, schools will almost certainly be closing early, government offices will shut their doors, and Governor Greg Abbott will soon declare a state of emergency. Texas National Guard units are on standby to rescue stranded drivers from roadways blanketed with record snowfall. Not only is it snowing, thunder has been reported in the area, marking the appearance of so-called “thunder snow” and heralding the arctic blizzard that will surely engulf the state capital.

God help us all. Just look at how much snow was on my van this morning when I had to take my kids to school. It’s a wonder I made it home alive.

But seriously, it was thundering. Which is kind of weird. I’m fairly certain the world is coming to an end.

Thankfully, in a blessing of providence, I bought milk and bread yesterday. It must have been a premonition.

And we didn’t even get that, just a lot of cold wind.

I love thunder-snow. First time I experienced it I was very confused. At any rate, you stay safe and warm in that blizzard and don’t forget to ration your provisions should you not be able to leave for weeks on end.

It was windy as hell last night and this morning. It will probably be 80 tomorrow.

Pro tip: Set your house on fire to stay warm.

Good idea! I’ve already topped off my kerosene heater with gas from my car, since I won’t be driving anywhere soon.

I’ve never understood why storms make people crave French toast. They always clear out the bread, milk, and eggs.
