Early in my career, we had some nasty winters. Had an ice storm one night, and I came up on a stranded motorist on an interstate ramp. Of course the ramp was banked and the stranded motorist was on the up hill side of the bank with me behind him. Stepped out of my car and just standing still, I slid to the other side of the road.
I like snow most times, but I hate ice storms anytime.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Welp, I just spent 38 hours without power....  Say What

Texas is having an electricity disaster. Meghan and her Mom are THREE DAYS without power. They give them an hour of electricity now and then. But they got a fireplace and a generator...they're trying to keep the pipes from freezing. I think it was 3 degrees up in DFW yesterday. 

My apartment was down to 43 degrees inside this morning. I finally got power. Hopefully it's permanent. 

We got 4-5 inches of snow in Waco. I was driving around in it yesterday. DFW of course is a freaking disaster.

Some disaster happened in someone's apartment and the water is shut off in our building until tomorrow. I just drove out on the ice skating rink and bought some water.

I've been unable to reach OT for the last two days... sent Eduardo a text and 5 minutes later it was fixed.  Thank you, Ed.

Welp, Waco is totally full of squished down snow....it's all ice...my All-Terrain tires are doing great...I'm real proud of them.... I had to switch from Mud and Snows because of balancing issues....seeing as how I'm in Texas...but these Firestones are doing okay.... My next set will be Falken All-Terrain, they're supposed to be good in SNOW and Mud, too.....
