Who Left the Fridge Open?

I lived in Dallas for about 5 years.

It's true...
a) Only people that showed up for work were transplanted Yankees
b) Grocery stores were wiped out of milk, bread, etc.
c) No one on the roads
(To their defense, the roads were often iced over, due to Gulf moisture, and they did not use salt...only sand. Rumor had it that the water table wasn't very far below the ground, and the salt was known to leach into it..again "Rumor has it"; however they were quite the speeders down there, and I suspect that had a lot to do with why no one was on the roads).

When the ice storms came, and I left work, it was almost as if someone had dunked my car in water, repeatedly, and let it freeze. The car was gently encased in ice.

As we could not get the doors open to get in the car to get the ice scraper, we used our badges to chip away at the ice until we could get a door open.
The next day, the Security dept was "torqued off" as they had about 100+ broken badges, claimed to be $25/ea to replace.

Dogs love that first snow!

Mine thinks he's a husky in the snow. 10m later he remembers he's not a fluffy dog and wants inside. Attachment 36861

And they were dead serious! "Out! Pack up and go, NOW!"

So I went out and got some lunch, then sat in a parking lot and watched people trying to drive. It was hilarious! They really DON'T know what the hell to do in that kind of weather! Great entertainment.

Pretty much.

I lived in North Ft. Worth for a year and a half and used to go park on a dead overpass on I-35 heading out of town when it'd get icy and just watch and LMFAO. It's like high speed demo-derby.

I've been living on the western slope for 6 years and have yet to see the roads get as bad as they get in SE Kansas. There would be so much ice built up on the roads that you could ice skate on them. Very few people missed work either.

My grandparents lived in Louisiana and it seemed like every Christmas or Thanksgiving we went down there the roads were coated in ice. Usually around Ft Smith and Little Rock AR. It would look like a war zone with all the roll overs and cars in the ditch. They would spread salt but it didn't seem to help with all the rain they would get.
