BLSamuel Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 to be honest, on a hot dry road people drive crazy! it's just plane dangerous on the roads here. We lived in the Dallas area (Plano) for about 5 years 16-17 years ago after living in the Detroit area and later the Chicago area and while I'm not sure the people in the Dallas area drove as fast or even as crazy as people in the Detroit area or Chicago area but they drove with attitude. Detroit, Chicago people would actually get over if there was room to let one merge onto the highway or at least leave some space (though that could be pretty small, espcecially during rush hour in Chicago) but in Dallas? Heck no. You could be entering the highway from the ramp and there's one car that at times you'd swear would speed up or slow down so they'd be right where you'd want to merge... not another vehicle for a quarter of a mile front or back and very rarely would they move over into the adjoining lane so you could merge in smoothly. Crazy. We only had a little snow once or twice when we lived there but usally got 1 or 2 ice storms a year. Up to an inch or two of ice bbs coverying everthing and it'd typically be gone by noon the next day. Not a good time to be on the road. The stores would be packed when the ice storm was hitting or just before and the people clearing the shelves of milk, bread, beer, and ice cream. Too funny.

garymd Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 That's awesome! I just saw it on TV. Just enough to shut things down but not enough to do much damage. Go sleding! Have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I lived in Mesquite back then... lots of snow and ice. Got a couple days off from elementary school if I remember correctly. And I'm taking the day off today, even though someone decided our office would open late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Official 24 hr snowfall at DFW Airport : 12.5 inches ! That is an all time record here. I live 6 miles from DFW and we have 10 - 11 inches this morning on the ground. The kiddos are having a blast. No school today of course.

InVeNtOr Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 you are so right about the merging! it's beyond crazy here! i thought arkansas drivers were bad, texas has to be the worse! the funny thing is, it's the person on the freeway that's in control, either speed up or slow down. these nuts keep speed and act like they don't want you on their freeway! the other thing that bothers me is single drivers in the HOV lane. now i don't care if you want to cheat and drive in it, i mind if you drive 50mph in it! i was driving in it a long time ago and some dude was going way slow. i decided to try and go around him, and the SOB spead up! no wonder people here shoot other people on the freeway! it's like drivers want to drive slow until someone wants to pass, then it's an all out war to not let anyone around you!

Boxx Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 In January of '64, Dallas got 15 - 17 inches of snow (a two day total). The Dallas schools were closed for three consecutive days. It hasn't happened since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I think it supposed to warm up here a bit this weekend but a bit slower about it than I'd hoped for as I didn't expect this at ~ 10:30 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 We got another nearly 2" in the Dallas area on Saturday night. This brings the total snowfall here to 17.1" this Winter. The most on record for a year here is 17.6". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdmarsiii Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I live in a highrise in downtown Dallas, and we got closer to 4". Especially on the pooldeck. Outside close to the entrances to the underground tunnels someone had a tape measure and got right at four inches. Crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
