We received the largest amount of snow in a one day period since they started keeping records 130 years ago.
 
Power at our facility has been going down and coming back up an going down again over and over.  Our web servers are located at a co-lo center in downtown Dallas with triple redundant everything so our sites will stay up (I hope).
 
Our offices are not open because no one is able to make it yet.  As soon as the snow melts enough for us to get out of our driveways we will be in to answer the phones.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience, I do think we will be operational sometime around 2:00 pm Central.
 
Chris
 
 
 
UPDATE:  Snow is gone and its business as usual.  Yippee

Yes, Chris, I read yesterday that the democrats and the green-idiots have determined that it is understandable that global warming is leading to some of the coldest temperatures and heaviest snowfalls ever experienced...

I can see that...

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

Mildest winter we've had up here in years.  Nice to see someone else blasted for a change.
