snow, with more to come

^ snow flakes only get that big when the air temperature is just below freezing. odds are it was melting just as fast as it hit the ground.

it actually can't snow when it gets too cold.

I think it snowed 3 times in 3 months recently. A record for us.
Last time I remember it snowing here was when I was a kid, but I can't account for 9 years of time that I didn't live here. But it's safe to say it doesn't snow often.

altogether i think we've gotten two feet in the past two weeks and it hasn't melted at all.

Yeah, this is what it looked like outside my apartment.

Also, I'm moving to Austin in two weeks. I'm going to steal all the recommendations in this thread.

Heh - Hill's Cafe is across the street from my neighborhood.
The Junk Cathedral is nearby and there are plenty of smaller but naturally occuring junk displays in peoples' yards around the area.

I read about the Junk Cathedral on keepaustinweird.com. What's the deal with Hill's?

i love hill's and have eatin there since i was a kid

bane, its been around since the late 40's
its got the best steaks around,...and the bakes sweet potatoes used to have this praline sauce on them that, once i mastered the recipie, has won me alot of those blue ribbons in county fairs and such
the patio area is really cool, and they normally have great music
i love hills

when you move you also have to make sure and eat at the magnolia cafe, south congress location (because of the beautiful tree in the back), and order the cornmeal and banana pancakes (i dream of those pancakes)

also, the museum of weird in the lizzard lounge? down the street from the driskill, is pretty cool if you've got some time to kill

there's a lady over by the campus that paints huge polka dots in her yard

antone's normally books some great bands

waterloo records over on lamar will become your best friend

beer + mangia pizza's carnivore + barton springs = the best date ive ever had

oat willie's

burgers from dirty's on gaudalupe
