Dude, there's this strange white stuff falling from the sky...

That white blury stuff is a combination of snow, sleet & freezing rain.

Take a look at the speedometer...I'm not stopped either - it's a 65mph area & I'm going so slow it shows up as zero.

My black Honda (to the right) is soon to be white!

Ugh, you guys in the north can have this stuff back!

Jeff,

We've been trying to get our Yankee friends to take it back, but they won't!!!

Stay warm, and stay off the roads- okay big guy?

 

[KimRaye]

Sorry Jeff!

Consider it a 'freebie'! No need to payback.

 

[Jeff in BigD]

I think I oughta move back to sunny CA

 

[Beauty]

Blow it this way Jeff!! Blow hard!!

 

[Serena]

LOL, I've had enough, you can keep it.

 

[SideshowBob]

That is a riot... be careful!!!

PS: Check out SSB's hometown above... haha!

 

[jamsmom]

I wanted snow, not ice

 

[debster812]

We just wanted to share with y'all. Hope you are enjoying!


**Seriously, be careful, this stuff is NOT funny to drive in, especially when you are not used to it.

I'll bet there were lots of fender benders in BigD tonight.

I hate snow, too.

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Wow Jeff, looks cool. You can send some this way!!

Drat! Now where did I park my tauntaun???

It took DW 3 hours to drive home tonight and the hardest part was going up the driveway into the garage. LOL! The rest of the drive was just slow. This is the kind of weather that makes me *soooooooo* glad I telecommute!!!

This stuff is not fun even if you are used to it. We had 200 accidents last week in one day. Be careful.

<font color=navy>OMgosh - I actually knew what you meant as soon as I read the title of your thread....

Awwww, California -- sunshine & In N Out burgers

Seriously, though - Please be careful in that, Jeff.

Jeff... have they said how long it is supposed to last? I have to drive to Oklahoma tomorrow and will be passing through Dallas around lunchtime.

 

[Jeff in BigD]

They say the thaw probably won't happen until afternoon.

 

[WDWHound]

You are not alone, Jeff. Austin is shut down this morning. There is ice everywhere. It took Mandy 3 hours to drive home from Austin to Round Rock yesterday (normally a 30 minute trip).

 

[KathyTX]

Grog,

Have you checked conditions at your destination in Oklahoma? Sounds like parts of OK got iced over even worse than we did.

Looking outside right now, and with freezing rain in the forecast for later, I can't imagine trying to drive any distance for the next couple of days.

Grog, please be really careful if you attempt the drive. You might want to be sure you have some cold weather supplies in the car in case you get stuck somewhere: blankets, coats, food, water, fully charged cell phone. (You probably don't often think about these things when you live in Houston!)

Some guy on the radio reported snow on the north side of Houston.

 

[slimplaw]

They are predicting more precipitation Tuesday night, so Wed. will not be good either.
