El Paso - CNN lead story this morning was, “Hell has Frozen Over.” They were referring to El Paso, TX being below freezing today.
County Judge Anthony Cobos declared a state of emergency and shut down the schools. When he was notified that school was already out due to the holidays he said, “bring it on.” We’re not quite sure what he meant by that, but are researching the quote as you read this.
Other El Pasoans used the normal December temperatures to try and get out of work. Employers were flooded with calls claiming that worker’s cars had frozen solid and that Sun Metro buses didn’t have heaters. We checked with Sun Metro and they did confirm they didn’t have heaters in their buses. Their purchasing director told us, “It’s El Paso, dumbass, it doesn’t get cold.” Maids we talked to disagree.
El Pasoans are encouraged to bundle up, try not to go swimming and keep their kids clothed – at least a little bit.
