Icicles?!?! (Updated)

If you're outside the US, you may not know that currently there is a massive cold air system moving down from the arctic, swallowing the country in frosty frostiness.

In other words- IT'S FREAKING COLD!

But icicles? In central Texas? You must be joking!

It appears the park's sprinkler system didn't get the notice to stay off today, and some of the sprinklers coated the trees in water that froze in this weirdly festive weather.  I think the official high temperature today was 1C (33F)! And it's going to start raining soon. Yeah, icy roads! I'm not entirely sure if my son is going to school tomorrow.

Someone please remind me of this in August when it's 42C (108F).

Photos to prove I'm not crazy and this actually happened! On Saturday, Steve and I went to look at a house for sale. When we got to the house, not only were there were icicles hanging off the Christmas lights, there was also a layer of ice on the side mirrors on our car! At least the locals are freaked out by this weather. It's not normal!

Fire!

Like belated natural Christmas decorations.
