Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AggieDave 6 #7 January 17, 2007 Its really odd for central TX, I grew up in N. Texas where we'd get a good ice storm every 2 years. About every 5th or 6th year we'd get a decent amount of snow. Otherwise it was just cold and rainy. I drove my wife to work this morning as I went in during the day (instead of at night when I normally work) for training. Luckily, due to having training this week, I don't have to work a night shift in this crap.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

The only time I've poked my head outside today was long enough to snap a picture of some icicles hanging from the bushes to send to Mike. We used to have this crap in Georgia all of the time.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites FlyingJ 0 #13 January 17, 2007 Boy was I a sorry sight this morning trying to find a way to get the ice off the windows of my car. I DID NOT include owning an ice scraper in my plans when I moved to South Texas. I even laugh at myself for calling what was on my vehicle this morning ice, but still, it's south Texas! That said, it sure was nice just squirting some hot water on the windows and being done with it. Sure beats having to spend an hour and a half digging a vehicle out like I had to when I lived in Ohio and New York!Killing threads since 2004.
