Grits and Shins Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 DFW is currently reporting 5.5 inches of snow (real snow too ... not a sleet/snow mixture) and forecasting 12 more hours of snow. I believe this is the biggest snow storm I've ever seen in Texas. Kids went to school but were released early. Roads are okay now (slushy/wet) but will be bad tomorrow when the temperatures dip below freezing. Earlier today I was working from home and detected that my neighbor was attempting to get his car into his driveway. How did I detect this you might ask? I could hear his tires spinning as he was trying to go up his driveway. They'd spin for awhile ... he'd get out and throw something under the tires (sand/salt/whatever) and try again. Obviously he never considered the implications of what would happen if his tires ever did catch traction ... that would have been worth watching. He tried that for awhile and then decided to see if the same approach would work backing up ... I didn't. Finally he clued in and scrapped the slush off his driveway and achieved partial success ... he backed most of the way into his garage (couldn't close the door). I can't tell you how much I wanted to see him launch his car into his garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I can't tell you how much I wanted to see him launch his car into his garage. It is unfortunate that it is not surprising how many people don't get it. LOL That would have been a thing of beauty to see for sure. Texas and snow. Who would have thought?

Double Agent Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Crazy amount of snow here. Been snowing pretty heavy all day. I think they're saying 8 inches. More snow than I've ever seen in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 8 inches huh? Talk to me when you get that 8 on top of the 20 already sitting on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Magnolia Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 And we dont have any snow on the ground in NW Montana. I miss me some sledding.. We have "Winterfest" here in Central Oregon this weekend with no snow and the forecast is for high in the low 50's and rain I don't think it is even supposed to get down to freezing. The ice sculpture contest will be amusing when they all melt into a pool of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've got close to 6" of snow in my yard, and they are saying we could get another inch or two. This is the most we've had since 1982. Everyone is taking the day off. When the kids wake up, we will build the biggest snowman we can.
