After my dentist this morning, I took Sundae for a quick walk around the block before eating lunch and heading off to work. It was around 75 degrees, sunny and humid out. My neighbor was outside raking leaves, and she informed me it was going to get near freezing tonight. I had a hard time believing it but I brought my sweatshirt into work just in case. When I left work in the evening sure enough the weather started to take a turn for the worse. Windy and cold it became.
I was dreading the soccer game I had to play later in the night. Both soccer teams surprisingly showed up, but then again it was the beginning of playoffs. Unfortunately neither team was willing to play as it started to sleet and the wind chill picked up. Not to mention lightning was to be seen off in the distance. The ref made the right call and stopped the game 5 minutes into, and said the conditions were unsafe. No one disagreed.
To thaw out, I stopped by my friend's house to watch the latest Incredible Hulk on Blu-ray. On a side note, he accidentally ordered the wrong rental of the Hulk movie from a few years back. Luckily he had a Blockbuster nearby and was able to exchange it at no cost. When I left his house after the movie, the sleet sure enough because solid snow. Not enough to stick, but enough the snowflakes were big enough to be a nuisance driving home.
Did I mention this is Austin, Texas? Brrr. I don't recall this being what I signed up for when I moved away from Minnesota.
