[mylife]

These chowderheads better be out sanding tonight or there WILL be problems.

I have to do the work run tomorrow as well since I took superbowl monday off. LoL

Thank God I Only have 2 possible bridges to pass.
You know the rules there, get going and coast across the ice.

The mixmasters werent made for that kind of scenario, so be careful, the elevated roadways were getting ****** at 6 this evening.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

That should be “reposez” en Paix.
I haven’t had such a good day..
See you guys tomorrow.

New report on WBAP says the mixmasters are hosed.

Gee who could predict it?

I imagine by morning it wont be as bad but I would avoid high overpasses.

Texas is good at making ice.

I hope some of you good souls will remember Geert Wilders in your prayers. His trial in Holland is ongoing. He dared quote the Koran to tell the truth about Mohammedanism and that is now against the law in much of the "West".

[Kathy in Alaska]

How much snow, my?

[SandRat]

Good Duck and Pheasant hunting in the area too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I went back on some country road this AM to have a smoke, It dead ends like a mile down on a cattle farm.

No one had been down the road to tamp down the snow.
I sat back there having a smoke and watching the lovely snow.

On the way out I gave the gas a goose to see how slippery it was. YeeWhooHoo! It broke loose real quick, and I was headed for a bar ditch... I backed off real quick and adjusted the wheel.

Then I had to test it again LoL

[mylife]

Looks like close to 9 in on my BBQ, and it has been above freezing all day, so that is a lot of snow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He has a tough row to hoe, just for telling the truth that so many don't want to hear. Prayers for he and his family.
