Ice storm in Dirty D
    #19248583 - 12/09/13 02:50 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Anyone in Dfw area?

I just drove from Dallas to Stephenville in the ice.  Scariest drive of my life.  Here is list of everything that happened, mind you I drive a shitty little Saturn:

-See about 6 cars spin out on George Bush
-I halfway spin out 1 time, it's all good (was not scared, am not a cupcake)
-My tire gets stuck in the ice on the 30 near Ft. Worth (still not scared, black guy helps me)

-Total of 11 accidents were seen on side of road
-All these goddamn trucks spewing shit at my window
-Ominous fog was cherry on top when I reached the I-20.  Couldn't see a damn thing, and there's still thick ice on parts of the road.

I made it though. 

I was just wondering how everyone else is coping with this ice?  Couldn't believe how many cars I saw spin like a record.

My folks are in Dallas and yeah, they said it's been pretty horrible up there. Ice on the roads, city all but at a stand still, and lots of people without power.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles.  Lived in Dallas for about four years now.  First ice storm.

Through all the shit I went through, I give myself a 6.5/10.

Though there were some blunders, I kept my cool.  Mainly cause it was like 34 degrees.

Yeah, the whole area is like a ghost town.  Stephenville looks like something out of a horror movie.

I live where it snows frequently, it's funny watching people that can't drive in the snow, it's really not that hard, just slow down.

Well duh.

Snow was one thing.  Ice is something else.  I don't have much experience with ice, but it seems like even when you're going about 5 mph, your shit might get fucked, depending on the shape of the ice.  However, this was on the freeway.  City streets were not bad.  On the freeways, I just tried to follow the tread, but sometimes it was too thick.  What I hated the most were parts of the road melted and seemingly fine.  So you would go from 5 to 20 mph, then boom, ice again.  Since it was night with thick fog, it was really hard to see ahead.  That was probably the most frightening parts of the drive.  Still kept cool though.

Good luck, man.  Is it unusual for that part of the country to get ice storms this early?

I don't watch the news too much, but supposedly these plethora of storms are abnormal?  I haven't really been paying attention to how cold it usually is this time of month in Dallas.

LOL @ southern people reacting to ice and 34 degrees. I remember being in south Carolina when there was just like a dusting and jus blowing past everyone on the road and laughing at the people in ditches every ten feet even like big trucks people were acting like it was some sort of state of emergency and like 3 ppl died and they shut down the whole state for 2 days till it melted :lol:

Dallas just sounds like a miserable place to live. You get shit winter weather for a while, then it's 110° the rest of the year.

I worked up in WY for a couple of years and that shit was nuts. Long winters where for months the temps never rose above freezing, nights where minus 10-20 degree temps were common, and snow like 3 days a week on average. And I had to drive in it (highway driving) every day. Like fucking 50 miles and back.

I had some sweet ass snow tires so that helped a ton, but definitely some scary ass drives I had up there from time to time. Shit I saw a damn SUV flip 3 times right in front of me. They lost control, over corrected and went off the side of the road and just starting rolling. Scariest shit I've ever seen in my life.

Last couple of winters were great, though.  It even snowed on Christmas.  Actually, it's snowed on Christmas twice since the three years I've lived here.  It almost made me wish I wasn't such a jew.

YES! Everyone does that shit here, I live in a somewhat rural are, there are like 20 people here that get together all the time during snowstorms and go drifting, it's so fun. Last time someone totaled his truck, no one got hurt though.

I actually dig winter, but only for like 1-2 months max.

Like, the winter could start around mid-october, and last until the NYE. Then, at the 1st of Jan it'd already be high 80's

Now that I've insulted Dallas for shitty extremes...

I took these two pictures five months apart in 2010.


And that snow pic was during the first storm that week. We ended up getting 42"

It's cold here in Houston (or what serves as cold), but there is no more precipitation to deal with.  We're lucky.  It will be cold for the next few days and then bounce back into the 70's a bit later in the week.  I love Houston in the winter.

Dallas gets cold.  For as long as I have lived here now, it seems January is the month where it's coldest.

I'd say 40-50 is more common.  Not too bad, but colder than other parts of the state. I guess technically we are still in proximity to receive arctic storms?  I don't know much about weather.  OTHER THAN HAARP!@!@@
