Just got a "Freeze Warning" e-mail about tomorrow's fucking weather from the company, which I'm going to try to get everybody in the vanpool to use as an excuse to leave really early tomorrow. Safety first! :cheesywink:

I talked with a field tech yesterday, said it was really coming down in Dallas/Ft Worth area. I think it's kind of early for that kind of weather down there. It has been cold and windy with a few rain showers yesterday. The high today is suppose to be in the 30's. I am not ready, not ready at all.

A warning that the roads will be all freezy-like and thus slippery. This is subtropical swampland, so such events are unusual and the locals have no idea how to drive in it.

Same here (many places I suspect).

"I have a 4WD SUV, motherfucker, I don't need no studded tires or chains or even to slow down."

Seems to be a common attitude.

Yowch! Just reading that causes nipular inflation. I'm glad I'm not there, or my gonads would be seeking relocation to somewhere north of my gall bladder.

The US has a heart of cold.

Mid Michigan eh?

Been there - 1948! Eight years old. The people were great!

It's not all that cold here. There was a little ice on the car windscreen this morning but it had melted away before we needed to use the car.

The rain kept off!!! Nice morning.

Wish I could say the same for mine. They need to come up with a defroster for the front that works the same as the one in the back, so it doesn't depend on the car warming up to work.

Beautiful morning, though. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. :^^

Sweet merciful crap, it really is snowing. Not just a couple minutes of flurries; it's been snowing steadily for an hour. It was supposed to start as rain and turn to sleet/snow around noon, but it never bothered with the first step and just started dumping flakes. I may be fucked on the drive home -- it won't be enough to require chains, but I'll bet it'll be icy as fuck.

It's been sunny all week. But seeing the sun in this area at this time of year means that it's cold, and that shit (the roads) freezes overnight. :(

I have one of those. Fuck that! I'll sit in my car until it melts and be late for work.

I need to remember to just go out and start the car when I first wake up.

I usually start mine up about 5-10 minutes before I'm actually ready to leave. That's enough to get the glass clear of frost. While it's warming up, I finish getting ready, which usually pads the time out a bit more.

Now it looks like a Hallmark card out there. I'm outta here. Prolly take me over an hour to get home, though.

Have a good 'un, y'all.
