Snow in Houston

The snow that fell in Houston today caused most of the people at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center to be even more eager to leave earlier than usual.  I had a court coordinator call me before the call of their docket at 9 a.m. to tell me that she planned on leaving early today along with the rest of the court due to the forecasted bad weather.  I figured that everyone will have the same plan today since it is Friday and the roads are going to be icy.  Myself, and a few of my friends had a chuckle about the city of Houston being paralyzed with a snow flurry when other cities around the country deal with this all the time without any trouble.

As I have said before, having a courthouse badge and parking in the Harris County parking garage allows me to avoid the inclement weather.  Today, I had a heavier suit on, but I did not need a topcoat or umbrella since I did not step outside.  I simply used the tunnel system from the garage to the criminal courthouse.
