It's been cold, windy, and/or raining for the better part of the last two weeks here in Austin. It's that very brief time of year where we get to drag out our scarves, faux fur lined parkas and fingerless gloves, fantasize that a few days of constant drizzle will correct our multiple year-long drought, and slam on our anti-lock brakes one too many times.
In other words, "Winter."
