Hell freezing over

[Skuzzy]

Well, this morning it is 12F.  Have not been above freezing the last 36 hours. Thank goodness it is dry.

It's been cold up here too...I've got serious problems here at the water district too...I will try to get some pics posted to our website so I can show y'all some of my frozen water leaks that just keep popping up....this is bad...real bad...

Had snow  for the 2nd time this winter here in SE Texas. Only the 2nd time in the recorded history of our county that has ever happend. People have lost their minds here. Maybe 1" of snow and 4-6 counties have shut completely down. Although the rain, then sleet then snow and then temps in the teens didn't help the roads at all.

At least you guys have the gear to deal with bad winter weather.  Anything other than perfectly dry streets here is a disaster looking for a place to happen!  Driving when it is like that is putting your life in the hands of some other numpty!

Hate to tell you but you're always putting your life in the hands of some other numpty when you're driving.   All it takes is for a guy to sneeze and spill his hot coffee on his lap at the wrong moment.

Yes, but at least it is not compounded by that same numpty driving 80MPH on snow/ice.

I can avoid most numpties, on drive pavement.  On ice/snow,..it is more difficult to avoid them.

We have had snow probably 5 times in the close to 30 years I have lived here in Texas. They have people that have never seen snow and they think they can drive in it. Sorta like people from the desert come here and can't drive in the rain because they have never had to do it before. Hurricane Harvey I had 55" of rain in 2 days where I live think someone from the desert could handle that? Although that is a bit extreme we average 60" of rain per year.

I recently almost got a ticket. Apparently when the temperature drops below a certain level it becomes illegal to drive on that particular sidewalk.

    I have seen these numbers yesterday  posted along I-35/30    made me nervous,  took my foot off the acceleration and look for a horse and get back to Canada. It's a sad high number of deaths for 28 million people, God knows how many more are critical injured and disabled for life ;  I was curious and checked the stats here, there are 1800-1900 deaths on Canadian roads/ year for 35 million inhabitants and 4-5 months/year of snow covered roads.
