I think the best thing is pull up google maps and map your route. if 75 is red, you know it's bad.

Here's your conundrum - weather is rolling into DFW, only going to get worse today on the roads.

And the main event is tomorrow, when the upper level low that's out in Baja rolls through Texas and brings a ton of moisture with it.

The overnight models were not good, this may not clear until Friday now.

I'm supposed to have a vasectomy on Thursday at 11:30. Thinking that may not happen. My wife will probably say it's a sign we shouldn't be done having kids.


What's crazy is you have a patient in Shreveport. What do you provide in regards to extra services that this patient can't let up?
Absolutely nothing that can't wait or be done elsewhere. Not to mention we are straight out of pocket and don't take insurance

Damn. Sounds like I should definitely plan to get him today then. Hopefully 4x4 and just staying with the flow of traffic will keep it safe and tidy.

Not to be debbie downer, but given the Thursday temp keeps dropping, there could be a little lingering precip, and no sun, even Friday morning is getting dicey for reopening. Could easily still have a big mess Friday AM. We're gonna need temps on Wed to stay a bit higher to where hopefully the ground can stay warm enough to melt this stuff

Yeah, I'd bite the bullet and do it asap while this sleet is still crunchy vs packed

I cannot leave even if I wanted to... My driveway is an ice rink.

Thought about getting the golf cart out just to have fun on the street and pull a sled but I wouldn't get it back up the driveway into my garage likely.

Should be fine if you can get out of DFW. Interstates should be drivable but slow. Might head south to Austin and then West instead of west through Abilene or even San Angelo.

Got any plywood handy?

I'd hop the curb and run it up the grass to get close, then throw down some plywood, old towels, mulch, whatever to get it in.

I might take a shovel out there just where the tire tracks would be. Not that bad.

Just got a text that school is officially cancelled tomorrow. So there is that.

Made it from Lakewood to 75 & Spring Valley and back no problems. Saw some people getting a tad squirrelly but nothing major. Worst incident was when I was about a mile from home stopped at a red light and a car came sailing through on my left just totally ignoring the light (no brake lights) at about 25-30 mph. It was unsurprisingly a Nissan Altima.

Warm, fresh cat blood works do. Plus, it conveniently solves your cat problem.

Sometimes you just gotta go to Bone Daddy's. I get it.

Left downtown Dallas back towards Denton area on 35. Took about an hour and roads were good until Denton; slipped a few times and side streets are terrible.

Think they'll treat i30 between fort worth and Dallas tonight? I'm thinking about driving from fw to work in grand prairie tomorrow morning before it starts sleeting/ice raining again.

Not very familiar with how they handle these situations.

I wouldn't mind this if I could stay home.

Nothing screams preventative medicine like telling patients and employees to drive on iced over roads

Honestly not sure why you would even bother unless extremely important to get in...just not worth it....maybe you get in and then if things deteriorate throughout the day you will likely regret it....


I cannot stand WFH but its not worth risking injury, risk to others, etc. My job is not that important...some peoples may be and maybe yours is....
