I love talking about it because I LOVE this weather(as long as it is short lived). It's like an unplanned holiday celebration. Light up the fireplace, load the crock pot with beef stew, put in some movies, and hang out.

The suck part for me is that my customer base is all Austin area and south to Corpus. They arent going to be getting much of this, so not being able to get parts from our main hub in DFW to them for Friday delivery, or god forbid, I cant make it to work because the roads are terrible doesnt seem to click with them. If I can make it to work, I get bitched at because I cant help mother nature from screwing it up.

A lot of my factories are up north, and they always get a chuckle when we have to close for this kind of weather, which isn't often at all. Likewise, we always chuckle when there is a "heat wave" and they shut down the factory when temps get over 95.


I love this weather. Last time I made a gigantic pot of gumbo, had a 3 day fire, and Mel and I did nothing but watch movie and hanky panky time. What I don't love, however, is that I've got strep right now, and we have a soccer tourney (3 games on Sat) starting at 7:30am. The fields are always much colder because there are no buildings/houses/trees to slow down or block the wind.

Everything I've seen is that there is no doubt about this front. It is coming, it will be brutal, there will be ice, no matter what. The only variable to it is how much ice we will see.

Most of my team works in Topeka, good luck getting them to care about road conditions. It's hard to explain that we have more people sitting in traffic right now than their entire city's population and that not a single one of them has a clue how to drive on ice.

I always tell the wifey 20 degrees colderr on the soccer field than our backyard except in the summer. Looking forward to another year of HS and club soccer when its balls cold (not!)

I had to be in Shreveport one week when it snowed. I looked outside, saw a snowflake, and mentioned it to the shop owner I was at. He literally freaked out, and started making phone calls immediately.

He explained to me why, that they dont salt or sand the roads do to the water supply being all over under the bridges, so they shut down the bridges and overpasses, so travel came to a stop. It was crazy.

UNT is shutting down today at 1, I was supposed to have class at 2 that should have been the last section and review before the final next week. Hopefully he posts the review online now, damn cold front.
