Austin, Texas - January 2010

Just before holiday break was over, I took a few days and went to visit Nikkie in Austin, TX. Needless to say, I was happy to be escaping the frigid Kansan temperatures by heading south!

Midwest Snow ain't for a Southern Boy

Seriously, this is caca de toro (in english=bull $h!t). I took this picture outside of the local Old Navy in Lawrence KS. It hasn't snowed in 3 days, but it was about 8 degrees when I took this picture. I don't even know how they stack snow that high. When I drive down the roads, there is still a foot and a half "snow curb" everywhere. I can't wait to see what kind of mess happens with the over two feet of snow we got in that last month that has not melted yet changes matter states.

Another Snow Storm....

Tonight, Brian and I had to drive to Kansas City so that I can catch a 6:55 flight in the morning from MCI to Austin, TX. However, a huge arctic front has decided to swoop down over Kansas and dump a ton of snow.

In the end, we left Lawrence just after I took these pictures and drove to a hotel right beside the airport. These were pictures of Lawrence before the major bands of the storm hit, so you can imagine the following two hours while we drove from Lawrence to about 15 miles north of Kansas City.

Old Man Winter, why us again?

2010!

For the New Year, Brian and I stopped by to see some friends in Lawrence before spending the night in Kansas City. It was so cold and snowy that this snowman managed to stick around to ring in 2010!

Happy New Year! Feliz año nuevo! Feliz ano novo! Ütz juna’ k’ak’a’!
