    Not really concerned about the cold weather. Concerned the forecast is till calling for "heavy rain" at single digit temps. Someone needs to fix their model or something.

    It's not bad when there is ice everywhere. It's bad when you drive mile after mile of normal road and then hit a 1 foot rise and there's ice on the downhill side from dripping off signs and trees. Some times the ice just comes down, sometimes like an ice fog. The worst is it rains and blows out...

    0F forecast for Dallas Monday. Last time it got this cold I remember it well. Christmas 1989 in Baton Rouge it got down to about 2-5F. Chemical plants and refineries down here don't react that well to the cold. Exxon refinery had a stuck valve fail at the tank farm, blew up and pushed back...

    DFW had a super low forecast of rain today. Didn't matter apparently. Massive wreck just before daylight on the backside of a small rise. The ice nobody could see or expect. 100+ vehicles. All it took was one to get started. Guess they had a giant one in Fort Worth and another smaller one in...
