OT: 2009 Ice Storm of Death

PrintDallas/ Fort Worth International Airport reported reaching 32 degrees at 8 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is bracing for what could be the worst ice storm in five years. A line of freezing rain is moving in to the area and was expected to hit Dallas by daybreak.
"Some places could see some sleet, but icy conditions are our main concern," said Eric Martello, a weather service meteorologist. "This morning, there might be some icy patches on overpasses and roads."
Wise and Tarrant counties are already seeing icy road conditions. So is Denton County. Wichita Falls police in Wichita County reported 22 accidents in an eight-hour period due to ice.
By the evening, nearly a quarter inch could be on roadways, trees and overpasses in Dallas. "Tonight is going to be the worst part," said weather service meteorologist Eric Martello.

A noob or n00b is someone that lacks intellegance or common sense, most people think that noob is a word used only in the online gaming world, but in reality it is becoming an ever popular word with teenage society.
a noob could be simply a level 100 running round shouting ‘’WTF DO I GO!?’’ or someone calling someone else a noob and then getting hit with a brick, anyone can call anyone a noob, but normally they are noobs themselves

I had ice on my window when I made a mad dash to the store.
I bought 6 gallons of milk, some whiskey, matches, smokes, bon-bons, a case of bottled water, whiskey, extra blankets, all type of dry goods, whiskey, and some connies just in case.
I need to be prepared for the storm!

yeah, it's getting pretty nasty out there
I was just frustrated this morning because I had dump trucks and vacuum trucks scheduled at a project and they canceled due to the threat of inclement weather, and there wasn’t any ice on the roads all day. Now, tomorrow they legitimately won’t be able to show up and things on my project are getting behind schedule

Well I'm Shocked
Laziest secretary in the history of employees and old ladies is here this morning. Normally, if it’s even sprinkling she arrives up to an hour late.
I'm working at home today
I’m always torn about these kinds of days – I drive a tiny car and NO ONE in DFW pays any attention before they change lanes or pull out of a driveway in their giant SUVs, etc when it’s DRY outside – I so do not want to be dealing with that when there’s ice on the roads, and any route I take home takes me over two bridges – NW HWY and I-30.
On the other hand, it kind of feels like the day before vacation at school when I do go to the office on these days – snow rumors spread like crazy and everyone piles into my office to look out the window, and everyone keeps saying “they heard we were going to close early”….

On the kansas turnpike
A truck up ahead lost control and went sideways. I had to try and dodge it and lost it also, went sideways and slid off the highway onto the grassy ditch on the side.
Scary shit when you have absolutely no control over your car, if it ever gets bad at all my suggestion is just don’t drive. It’s always some other asshole that will hit you or cause you to lose control no matter how careful you are.

I's much easier to drive
on Snow than the inch thick plate ice that they get in Dallas.
I’ve driven in 20 below around South Bend with almost a foot of lake effect snow, and its still easier than driving on the Dallas plate ice.
Get off my lawn.
Shiz,
I couldn’t get out of my driveway for three days once…I was snowed in that bad. And yes, I would much rather drive on that than Dallas ice, also because of all the dumb drivers.

I've Lived North, South, East, and West
When it ices over anywhere in the South, it sucks worse than several feet of snow in the NE or MW.
And Dallas is probably the worst of any Southern city because it has so many multi-stack direct connectors and elevated freeways. Never saw ice in Atlanta but if they had it there it would get fucked up real fast.
I had a wreck the other day and it was way above freezing with sun shining. Most ice had melted. Was about to go under an underpass, but some dumbass in a great big red neck pickup truck was on my ass as I was trying to slow down. So I couldn’t slow don’t much. Went over the ice okay, but upon hitting normal wet pavement my car straightened out funny and put me in the ditch. Nothing an alignment can’t fix…I was lucky.
So you have a couple of different problems here:
1. Dumbasses, normally found in large pickup trucks and SUVs.
2. The ice is very deceptive.
Plus they use more sand than salt here, so anything is liable to re-freeze at any time. Just because is 36 degrees at DFW doesn’t mean it’s not 29 where you are…in an urban area temperatures vary quite a bit.

So who else has to go into work tomorrow?
Working for the railroad, we don’t ever close, even at cushy headquarters. Which makes sense since the railroad expects the people up in the Dakotas and Montana to work outside in -25 degree temps with wind chills far worse, so the least we can do is come in and work in a room temperature heated office.

Don't got to be in till noon
And I think this is gonna be really bad in the morning out there. Birdville ISD, which I went to all throughout school K-12, cancelled classes for tomorrow. If anyone out there knows Birdville you would know that for them to cancel classes due to weather this far in advance means its not gonna be pretty. They never close. And very rarely do they delay. Usually they would wait so long to delay we would find out as we arrived for school at normal time.
So be careful out there people if you do have to be out tonight or tomorrow morning. Whatever is on the roads is gonna be slick a snot.

Blah.
So that means all noon classes are a go right?

Ha. Well forget I said that.
I obviously for some reason thought you did. My mistake.
