NAS Ft. Worth - Essential personnel only.
I am stuck in a motel room, out of smokes, out of ammo. It's like Bastogne, without the foxholes, and Nazis. I do have a continental breakfast though!

Was going to take the trash out but the drive way looked like a skating rink.
And the corporate ijits in Georgia said that it wasn't bad enough to close the office. Sorry, I'm not even going to go out to play with my 4 wheel drive Jeep to have some moran spin out & hit me. |

I woke up at 3:30 AM and looked outside and it was still raining in Denton. I got up about two hours later and it was about 2-3 inches of ice/snow.

Y'all freak out about it more, but no... no worse driving. I think it has to do with the fact that the roads don't get cleared/salted, so conditions stay bad longer. People are bad drivers everywhere.

Driving in that shit is a bit worse down south, because:
1. A lot of drivers aren't used to it (not that I'm claiming Ohio is a bastion of wintertime skill) and... 2. Lack of salt trucks. This has more to do with it, than the drivers themselves. There are fun surprises, though. This morning, I saw a guy absolutely carving up a snow covered river road - in a Mini Cooper. It's all about the tires, baby. |
