Ft. Worth, TX. Pretty good sheet of ice on the ground and cold out. More sleet coming. My job is putting us up in hotels, if we choose to stay there, and pretty much letting us work as much or as little as we choose. I'm working till 330am and then have a 12 mile drive home

Been raining here in Alaska. That is brutal in December. Roads were like ice rinks. They cancelled schools today and my employer even sent out a notice to all their employees to stay home if we wanted. Accidents everywhere. BUT, this is Alaska, lol. Happens every year.

Sam Pack 5 Star Ford in north Richland hills. New and pre owned. No car payments is the best. It's never a good time for a wreck. But cars are replaceable whereas people aren't.

Falls, Hope you are okay.

Stuck up in Sherman/Denison due to weather. Can't remember the last time I didn't drive home when having less than an 1.5 hr to drive.

Hey thanks...just a little stiff. I never take chances on the road in weather and usually stay at the casa; must have been due.
I wouldn't chance it. Ice is vetty vetty sneaky.

Cool. I'm not really a domestic car guy-outside of trucks, and I used to have a Chevy. But my buddy's new F150 is pretty sick.
$43K price tag he paid was a bit much.

Hammered in Plano... solid sheet of ice glazed over everything... I have a massive limb snapped off a large tree in the backyard - landed right on the fence and took out a nice little section of fencing.

Gonna load the squids up and take 'em sledding in a bit. It's nasty out there though... wouldn't want to be commuting this morn.

Platinum or king ranch I'm sure. I have to agree , very expensive.

The DeSoto-Euless Trinity matchup won’t be played Saturday at Allen’s Eagle Stadium, but DeSoto coach Claude Mathis said he’s still hoping to find a stadium where the game can be played Saturday.
If not, however, he’s OK with playing on Monday — even if that would mean a quick five-day turnaround before a potential 5A Division I semifinal matchup with Allen.
“It’s not a big deal with us,” Mathis said. “That’s why we schedule like we do.”

The Falls,

you have big balls going up one of those monster bridges in this weather!!!!!

The worst part of this DFW ice is all of these massive bridges that they have and are still building everywhere.

which one was it ?

I think you told me you are a in dragon country ( Southlake) a few years back. I saw a car slide off the 121 to 635 bridge by Grapevine Mills Thursday at about 5 oclock. The car slid down the grass hill. That would be scary knowing you are fixin' to die. The car stopped about halfway down the hill. I lost site of what happened next.

Did you have the wreck on one of those new Grapevine bridges ?

I just saw that you have Plano listed...

Plano has some monsters too. I am assuming it was one of the Bush bridges. Those suckers are way up there. I don't even like driving on those in the rain.

Hope you get your truck fixed quick and correct. Don't let Caliber collision do the work !!!!

Some of that Circle S catfish in Haslet out by you sounds pretty good in this weather.

I think you mentioned that you were from Saginaw / Haslet area.


Do you ever go to circle S catfish Café next to the pool hall ?

I was travelling to The Falls (Wichita) yesterday to beat the ice getting too bad.
Left downtown Dallas while the precip was just around Rhome.
Drove 70 the whole way.
Get to town, and bam.
Slow motion fish tail, drivers side into median/guardrail, airbag to the face, and thought for sure I was about to flip.
I wasn't going that fast, but the downslope helped me pick up speed.
Held up traffic for a bit, but managed to get to the median.
Bent the frame pretty good.

No way I mess with any of those ridiculous overpasses you mentioned. You fly off GBTP, and it's sayonara.

I work in Garland and live about 30 min from there, decided it was best to not go in since they closed the turnpike down.
