I think the front is arriving here in AUS. Rain coming down sideways downtown and gusty winds. Here's hoping the next time it precipitates here, it's frozen and not liquid!

The thinking it is sleet comes from the NWS.

San Antonio/Austin NWS:

Either small hail or sleet falling in Round Rock.

How does one make an avatar?

An Avatar is only a small picture. It can be no larger than 120 x 120 pixels and its size can only be 12k or less.

Hope there isn't any colorblind people signing up. :mrgreen: BTW, in everyone's User Control Panel, set your timezone (central) and choose ...

I'm thinking more late next week than this Monday for any possibility at all.

Nobody here except us chickens..

Similar to Storm 2K, it shows quickly who's on line...
