The Houston area is pretty much the same weather as the P'Cola area, we're just getting it a bit earlier than you will. A city of four million folks is pretty much shut down right now ... all schools (including the college I teach at) are closed and we've had over 200 ice-related traffic accidents reported today. The Southern Snowpacalypse is real.
That being said, since the first day of the Spring semester is a snow day, I'm the idiot running in and out of the house in shorts and flip flops to spritz spareribs on my Blaz'n every 45 minutes ...
