Ice
« on: January 28, 2009, 04:11:21 AM »
Living in Texas, we don't get much in the way of winter weather.

The same system that is moving through the midwest and northeast right now managed to give us a nice little 1/4 in coat of pure sheet ice.  Woke up this morning to another 1/4 of sleet over the ice.
We're not set up to take care of the roads here. 6 million people in north Texas... going nowhere!!!!

I love days like this!

Ice like that will shut down any city....even for us hearty Northerners from Wisconsin   ;D

Of all the winter possibilities, ice is the worst.
