One thing being freezing ass cold since Sunday sets up for is there is not as much heat retained on the roads/bridges like a normal front that blows in all at once. Some of this will likely stick a little more easily around borderline temps. Seeing big as flakes and quite a bit of accumulation on the road in Plano now

The nimrods going "this is a nothingburger" then hitting a slick patch are getting into some ugly wrecks right now.

Bone dry this morning, 36 degrees, and rain all day. Glad all the isd's were so thoughtful to cancel ahead of time!

---

I'd much rather have them cancel ahead of time than the "school closes in an hour, cancel your day and pick up your kids" like in winter of 2022

---

Why would they cancel today? Cold rain?

---

Many areas are already icing. You do realize kids have to come home from school too right?

If you have watched the models and forcasts over the last week, you know exactly why. Here is what the leyman is hearing... "You are sitting on a fence. On one side is relative calm. On the other side frozen doom. The difference is 1-2 degress F and we don't know with any certainty who will be in the 30'-32' group and who will be in the 33-34 group. Additionally, you may start your drive in a 33'-34' band and 10 miles later be in a 30'-32' band. We do not know. Travel at your own risk."

No school administrator is gonna put their name on that decision (and rightfully so). The right decision was to keep the kiddos off the streets.

It's okay, they had really really important widgets to sell that couldn't have waited a day or so.

It's childcare and working that is the issue

---

Just stay home unless you work in the ER or first responder. No job is worth the risk. Your office will still be there after the roads clear.

---

What if your employer tells you that you will be fired if you don't come in?

Quit and find a job where you don't work for an idiotic *******.

I have to new docs in our clinic that were asking about our weather policy and what the clinic's expectations were. I told them this place is a "Get here or die trying" type of place.

So you specialize in boob jobs? I'll allow it.

He will when it is revealed that the friendly old janitor who matched them up with the lonely newcomer is in fact, Santa Claus.

For a moment I thought he said Lifetime and wondered when the wife kills her husband and his young mistress on Christmas Eve.
