Early season ice/sleet storming

Looks like it is starting right now.

I am hoping we don't have anything major enough for a datacenter emergency trip, I sent the staff home an hour back for safe driving, so I will be on call for anything during this time. I will be taking extra caution if any trip is required, so may take longer than normal 10-15 minutes to get there.

It ended up going above freezing during the night and being a non issue.

but you don't have the people in Texas that have no clue how to drive in ice or snow!
It is wild here anytime a forecast of ice/snow the store shelves EMTPY it is like prepare to be locked in for a month style stocking here.

I have driven in large amounts of ice/snow and don't really mind it but does take some getting used to the handling.

Not having such a good one but I hope to have my family here Saturday and be a bit better

And yes here it is normally slushy, it was raining for 3 days prior to the supposed freeze, but it only hit freexing for a short time and then back up.
