I won't laugh at you all but I am amazed at the weather reporters who chose to stand in the middle of a road to report during a storm when no one is out except the plows who can kill you if they hit you (not that the snow plow guys want to but come on, it's icy,right?)!

he, he. I'm from Houston. the few times it did snow there, no one could drive in it. I was on a bus going into town from the North and the bus driver stood up in his seat to see the snow falling on the bayou/canal as he drove over the bridge. we "drifted" toward the side dangerously until he figured out the bus wasn't going straight anymore. duh!
snow, or no snow, i miss Houston, sniff, sniff!!!

now it's not the snow and the ice, but...the rolling power outages! Ugh!!! For 2 more days!
You got that right! I have an inch of ice on my driveway. Did you see the news clips of the snow plows in Dallas trying to get Loop 12 (I think it was) clear? Gotta keep the roads clear for Sunday's game.
:roll:

We have 3 more snow events in the forecast for the next week. Hang in there you all. All of you everywhere, not just Texas.
