I love to watch the public panic.

As of 3:17 p.m., the National Weather Service in Fort Worth has upgraded the Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Storm Warning ... which is in effect from 9PM this evening until noon Friday.

You would have thought they had just announced the nukes were inbound. We have a possiblilty of freezing rain after midnight. It will be above freezing by 8am. There was a rush like I have'nt seen since Thanksgiving.

I watched 2 women almost come to blows over the last cube steak.

I plan to make my special waffles in the morning and watch all the idiots slide into eachother in Dallas tommorrow morning.

You better hope you don't lose power, becuase it sux. I remember 10 years ago we had an ice storm in Omaha, and went without power for 8 days.

Yeah I grew up in Austin and I remember we would get like 1/2 inch of snow and the city would panic, everything would shut down.

Every year we have a significant icing in Dallas I see no less than half a dozen cars plowed into guard rails on my way into Dallas south on 75. My eyes usually hurt from all the rolling.

Early 1990's....massive ice storm hit eastern Arkansas. Every power pole between our home town and the next was snapped in two from the weight of the ice. Nearly every tree damaged; some with five foot thick trunks uprooted.

We were without power for 11 days. Some outlying areas were without electricity for nearly three weeks.

In the Biblical Book of Genesis, Onan (Hebrew: אוֹנָן, Standard Onan Tiberian ʾװnān ; Strong) was the second son of Judah.[1] Certain interpretations of the narrative concerning him have led to the use of the term onanism to refer to masturbation.
