A weather alert appeared at the bottom left corner of Jean’s desktop – Hard Freeze Warning. “What?” She shrieked and laughed, “Can’t be, it never freezes here. It’s why I moved here in the freakin’ first place.”
Immediately, she clicked on the alert, which opened a new window on the screen. A video started playing and a weatherman began rambling. By the end, she only heard, “This is a once in a century event, so take precaution!”
Jean looked out her window. The sun was out with no clouds in sight. “Can it really happen? Should I go cover the pond?”

I encountered the same thing during my brief stay in Austin, Texas. When I lived there, snow storms aren’t as frequent as now. They were probably once every few decades sort of thing and that one snow storm caused everything to seize – traffic, school, work – because there would be a layer of ice on top of everything.
