Welcome to the Deep Freeze Called Texas

[nelsonrl]

Just got back from town. Could of sworn I saw snow flakes. Naw, couldn't of been. Thats ok, high of 62, low of 58 by Saturday.

Well the problem is that I-40 is a major Interstate, and it runs thru some long stretches of open country, and the freezing rain combined with the 40 and 50 mph north winds make it a hazard that even sand wont fix.

 

Sorry to hear about that pile up but it happens too often up here. Ice is a lt worse than snow, unless there is a few feet covering the road.

 

At least you have other roads to travel, up here on a major road and when it happens here we have little choices to go around. And if you find a road it is not any better than the one you just left.

Here is the 30 miles east of Houston we were hit with 5+ inches of snow on the ground over the course of a couple of hours, I have been in this area for 31 years and have never seen snow down here that heavy.
