Well its the annual dusting of snow and the roads immediately turn into a three ring circus. Prolly a dozen accidents going from East dallas to Arlington and 2 and a half hour drive. Not even rush hour. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Lol. Yep, love Texas, but anything frozen, and it's Snow-mageddon. [emoji3] I left work early today to avoid the chaos. Keeping myself warm with thoughts of the forecast 70s for early next week, which I take as a sign from the motoring gods that my Ferrari & Porsche need some exercise! T
A bunch of people in my office were told to work from home today. Those that came in were told to leave about 1:00. I finally headed home about 2:00. It IS damn cold.
I remember when I lived in Dallas years ago, the New Year always featured the dreaded "freezing drizzle" during the first week. Seems to be built into the weather cycle there.
Buddy invited me out to MSR with the Vette. Might have to request Saturday off and take him up on it.
I wonder what the roads are like this am? Sunny but 20s. Sue would like to get out and drive today, I thinking MSR just to have an excuse to get out
^ This has road conditions from TX DOT. Ice up in Cooke, don't think any further south, but you can search by county. http://conditions.drivetexas.org/current/ Got down to 10 F last night. Nothing going out today except the pickup truck! T
Yep, looks like the jeep until tomorrow. At least it is better here than Penn. My son is in Ohio for the weekend ( OSU vs PSU ), says it is warm there, I guess it is all relative
Partly it's idiots, but at least on the west side and through downtown Dallas there was indeed iced over bridges yesterday. I don't care how much of a badass you are, no grip means no grip. 1.5 hours from Fort Worth to Denton on I35W, then immediately back on the road and over 2 hours from Denton to Regal Row on I35E. When we came back at midnight the bridges were still glazed. TXDOT seems to love their super-long and very-high bridges when building freeways these days.
