All in good time.

We want you to stay. Where would you go with less snow/ice? Lol

Azle schools are canceled as well

Same with Eagle Mountain, the roads are fine, but the parking lots are iced over so they're staying closed. So stupid.

Honestly I prefer the cold. If/when I move it will be to get away from southern summers.

30 is a nightmare!!! There must have been a wreck at Las Vegas. There were probably 10 emergency vehicles when we came by there.


Took me 30 minutes each way this morning. Took me 45 to get there this evening and an 90 minutes to get back.

The schools here are closed because the neighborhood bus routes are still baf.
The main roads have been completely cleared up since Saturday.

35e from ovilla rd. to medical district was completely clear.

That was the worst section I saw today. An overpass around Las Vegas, I think. It was at least 3 inches of solid ice, potholes, completely impassable in the middle. Cars/Semis were driving on either shoulder and having a lot of trouble getting through. While I was there about 2 hours ago, there was a Ford Edge stuck in the middle.

it was like that at 10am today, and still the same shit at 8pm. wtf. bunch of slackers i swear.

dropping below freezing here at 35 & inwood, the melting ice that was left on the ground is now turning solid again. be safe out there

...
She was on her way to work Saturday
...

Well, I was a little off in my guess to the amount of damage. Her insurance is covering it instead of filing on mine and going after them.

Estimator just left, $4222.96, and he thinks could easily go higher once they take off some of the plastic parts and uncover other damage.

Funny thing is tho, he has it written as a BOSS 302, wonder of that jacked the prices for repair up, LOL! I can say, a BOSS 302 muffler is listed as $245, plus $120 for the exhaust tip...

I didn't notice until after he left he had it as a BOSS and not a GT. Musta been the BOSS rims.

I was disappointed that the George Bush tollway was still pretty iced up. You would think with as much money they make that would have the financial resources to address icing. Actually, I'm just bitching about having to pay to drive on a road that wasn't really any better then the other surrounding roads.

^ See that's what happens when you don't let them raise tolls every year!

The southern/southwestern sections of that road blow, and it cost me more to go from I-30 to Allen than it does to take the Austin toll roads from Cedar Park around to Buda.
