The Texans have been released! Let the games begin!
Snowing there I take it?
Circa 2008 or so I lived in FTW and worked in Irving. Bad snow/ice storm (for DFW) and I 100% saw a car in a tree and at least one car in/on a building along 183. It was spectacular.
Ho-lee-o-fuck. Look at that traffic map.
Best thing to do is go find a parking lot by a 4 way stop to watch the action from. Seriously, it’s like the retard level goes up by 100 when ice or snow is involved.
A few years ago we got a couple of inches of snow over night. Roads were warm, so nothing stuck to them. People were complaining that school wasn’t cancelled and that they had to go to work. The snow was all melted off by early afternoon.
Yay we made the news again for idiots...
Meanwhile I've got one hand on the wheel in 2wd on street tires driving though whiteout conditions with 5" of snow on the road at night with a kid in the backseat losing his shit because he just dropped his toy tractor.
How can that many people suck at driving at once?
I drive i30 from Parker county to Dallas county every day damn near. most of the time I run 80. I left the house at 4 and it took about 50 minutes instead of 40 or so. but the bridges are froze, as in ice, freezing rain this morning, not some pussy ass snow. I drove in my 1500 Silverado long bed 2wd no problem. except for the 25mph hazard morons in the middle of fast lanes. but there were a few spun out in the middle of the road when I came through.
TX is becoming the new FL.
Of course the same thing happens in NC. This was in Raleigh a few years ago.
And then there were the chops...
I'm from New England and have driven in snow all my life with no problem. This isn't snow, its black ice covering everything. Moving, turning and stopping on this shit is next to impossible unless you actually know how to drive and think waaay ahead. Fuck, even walking on it sucks! Also, there are no salt/sander trucks around these parts. They put down some kind of liquid ice melt ahead of time but for the most part it doesn't do shit when it's like this.
Looks "wet" but it's actually sheet ice. Not cool!
I suppose to put things in perspective and if you want to be fair to the retards, people should imagine they're in California and driving on their way to go surfing (not skiing) and all of a sudden your car has no brakes and the steering wheel seems to do nothing when you turn it.
Thats what the invisible shit pictured above is like.
Link, pics, anything?
Them fuckers cant drive on a sunny day.
Imagine the 30/35 mixer!It doesn't help that 95% of Dallas area roads are elevated, and boy do they love some tall curvy bridges.

They can............. just at 50mph :rolleyes:
Driving down the 75 from Sherman to Dallas was always entertaining. It seemed the worse the conditions the faster people went
100 degrees and sunny = 50
Rain = 60
Raining so hard you can't see the end of your hood and the road has turned into a lake = 70
Snow and ice = 80+
