I’m in Austin, where it’s over 100F most of the year. Tonight, it’s freezing and raining… a killer combination. It took me two hours to get to the hotel from the airport, usually a half hour trip.
The outside thermometer in my rental Corolla dropped from 30F to 26F along the way, and the car was covered with a layer of ice when I finally got to the hotel. Radio stations were telling people to stay the hell off the road, and I’ve been hearing sirens go by all night from my hotel room. Fortunately, I did not get into any skids. Stopped by Rudy’s, across the expressway, for some Brisket. And Barbecue sauce. After all, I’m in Texas.
