MS-13 executioners are hard at work on the job grading and polishing the ice on the roads and spreading the usual ice-slicking chemicals and heavy petroleum grease on the icy roads in preparation for a second Fort Worth event.

I vividly remember the cold in 89.
Lived in an apartment at the time so I took my motorcycle to my Moms house so I could park it in Her garage.
Had to constantly rub a half dollar sized spot on my visor so I could see.
There's nothing as exciting as sliding sideways down the highway while steering straight.

I don't like cold weather, but if I must endure it, I hope it's humorous cold weather because I love to laugh.

Usually when it gets cold here the skies are completely clear.
It's extremely rare for there to precipitation with temps this low.
If it's gonna get this cold I wanna see some snow Dammit!!!!!

That's not Mother Nature. There's a doctor with a black bag of tricks on the road.

Auto body shops cash in on winter weather

Snowy roads can lead to crashes and there have been plenty of those in the Poconos within the last week.

And here I was hoping to get through the winter without any major cold snaps.
Damn near made it,once we get past February were pretty much done with the real cold weather.

I'll bet some Texans don't even own snow boots, winter parka. Especially the kids who are going to want to go out and play in it. Will they know how to make a snowman?

This reminds me of the opening line to one of my most favorite Brad Paisley songs. "When a freight train jumps off the track and rolls down my road and its summer time in Texas and we're playing in the snow....."



God bless you and him always!!!

P.S. Some of you here may love the next line of the song.

Most Of us Have cold weather gear.
Especially the guys who hunt. You only have to go a couple hundred miles north the see it pretty regularly,although not to this degree.
We got 5 inches of snow about 7 or 8 years ago and all the kids were out on the golf course making snowmen. Making snowmen isn't exactly rocket science.
