Weather Update

Houston is being stopped dead in their tracks due to the threat of 1-4" of snow and ice. (That's 1 to 4, not 14!)

No, we haven't gotten any snow yet, but even the threat of it closes down all of our schools and businesses. Therefore, we will be working with a minimal staff tomorrow and some of us will be working from home. Try the forum first, then email and then phone calls, if you need assistance. No orders will be shipping tomorrow as UPS is closed down, as well. We will have access to process patterns and software purchases.

OK, you northerners (and that is pretty much all of you) stop laughing at us, we are just simply not prepared for this stuff! I don't even own an ice scraper and not sure that I ever have! My shovel has never picked up anything that wasn't brown like dirt or a dead squirrel.

Stay warm my friends!

Sounds like a bunch of "sissies" there. Just kidding!! I'm the BIGGEST sissy when it comes to cold weather! Lived in Phoenix, then moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida, now on the southernmost part of Coastal Geargia...I do NOT like cold weather, nor do I cope with it well either!

Several years ago we moved down to a warmer climate in South East Michigan,
up in North West Michigan where I'm originally from we had 10 months of Winter
and about 4 weeks of Poor Sleding.
Summer always came on the first weekend of August and if you had to work, -- ya missed it
and had to wait till next year for it to come around again.

Ken that picture looks like here in Iowa. Our schools were out for 2 days this week. Here where I live we had 10" of snow but also had 30 to 40 mile per hour winds to go along with it. Oh Lynn I could send you an ice scaper if that would help you. Oh this morning we were -11 degrees but we have had -21 degrees already this winter with wind so wind chill is alot colder. Keep warm & safe.

Okay guys.

We got a pretty good layer of ice last night. Most of the office is out, simply because the DOT has the roads shut down because of the icy conditions. A few scragglers, myself included, managed to make it into the office, but again, as Lynn said, we are severely understaffed today. Your best bet for assistance would be the forum first, then phone calls and emails.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Glad you made it in ok. But it is so NOT worth risking life or limb to be able to answer our silly questions! Very few things are so important they cant wait a few days. Be carful on you journey back home!

I don't know why the media down here is blowing this thing out of proportion. The roads were fine when I left at 8:30 this morning. I didn't have a single problem on my way in.

While I was coming in, I kept wondering why people were taking u-turns on the overpasses... It was so they could face the right direction again.
