We received trace amounts where I work (Frisco) and it was raining in Plano when I went home. I hope it stops, I don't want to have to drive on a sheet of ice tomorrow :|

Ehh the ground is too warm for it to accumulate really. They said it'll start up and stop around noon - upper 30s for a high. I really don't want to either b/c it'll probably ruin my plans for tomorrow. Where do you work now James?

I just drove up to my office (6 mi. from home) and didn't realize the parking lot was slick, so I accidentally spun out and did a 360. Thank goodness no cars were close by! I bet the observers were curious as to why a SVT Lightning was doing donuts in the parking lot. :Q

Is the truck ok at least? :)

Driving on that ice crap is pretty dangerous - today on the way to work my rear end slid out a lil bit driving over frozen patches of water.

it snowed in central texas today, from like 10am-1pm.

it really picked up around 11, it was furiously coming down, but all it managed to do was to get the ground wet =/

i was at a stoplight and i watched it fall down, and traced a flake down until it fell to the street, and watched it almost instantaneously melt.

I do alot of things. My official title is "Warehouse technician" which is a fancy name for box packer, but I end up covering for a lot of people. It pays the bills and makes me want to go back to school.

They're predicting rain mixed with sleet here in Austin possibly turning to snow later. Should clear out by mid morning though.

Lubbock isn't nearly as bad as Amarillo. I've been there a few time, as a Dallasite, and jeez, I can't imagine living there. The wind shifts, and whole town smells like cow leavins.
