That's quite sad, but also sort of crazy.  I wonder why they would be going that fast down this road?           No seat belts, either.

i would venture a guess that the driver was impaired in some way/shape or form. i know it's bad to speculate on somethign like this.......but there's not much other explanation really.

No Snow YET, but 27 degrees on the Gulf of Mexico is pretty cold.  Looking for real estate in S. America, cause this Yankee doesn't live anywhere that sells a snow blower   :O

Yea, that was certainly my first guess as well.  Let's go buzz the old elementary school in the middle of the morning while somewhat impaired...

I see snow there -- was it cold enough that night for ice to have been a factor?

i love the snow. i hate the cold that has to be in order for it to snow.

 the only thing i really squeak about due to snow, is traffic. there are WAY too many people on the road that should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle in clear weather, much less turn em loose in the snow.

i agree cap! you always find them idiots in big SUVs that think they are invincible to anything, the blow past you at 80 mph and then a mile up the road u see them flipped over in the ditch cuz they slid out of control and over turned...my bf has a 4x4 gmc jimmy and thinks that way, i keep telling him not to get to cocky in it cuz it can happen to him also...them things have short wheel base and are top heavy....he wont listen to me though, im a girl, what do i know :)

I have a friend who lives in Morningstar... Big custom home built about 12 years ago.. His wife recently died, so he's alone in this big house. maybe we'll get to visit him in the next year or so. His son is the General Manager of Microsoft, his brother is the former CEO of General Dynamics, Electric Boat Division.

Anyway, here's the weather we had up here on eastern Long Island since Christmas.... About 60 inches total with two smaller snow falls included.

December 27th. 18 inches



January 12th... 20.5 inches




January 26th.. 15.5 inches

We have 14" here, which is a record.  I've seen drifts close to 6 feet in person, and 8' on the news.  We don't get snow fall like that, so there were only about 50 city snow plows available, plus the DOT plows on the interstates.  The City has around 500,000 people.  Simi's seem to the big problem, they are stuck everywhere.  It was 6 below zero F last night, and it's going to be the same tonight.  I drove to work today in a 2x4 truck and had no problem.  I can't say I missed my old 4x4's, but I drove them for about 20 years and really didn't need the extra pull.  The ride is much better over 350 days a year.

Started sleeting about an hour ago, and already 400 car wrecks in San Antonio, with roads closed all over the city.
