I just got off the phone with my dad, he is up near Amarillo and he didnt say anything about any snow. Maybe it is just not there yet.

I lived in Mobile, AL for 14 years and saw snow 3 times during that time. The locals would freak out. Everything would close down, even if the the snow was less then an inch. People would go out in the streets with cameras and it would be the talk of the town for weeks.

That's not a Blizzard, it wouldn't even record on our charts as far as snow accumulation is concerned.

Mind you I'm in Eastern Canada, just outside of Montreal.

But having been in the DFW area very often in the past few years (on business), I understand that it must be quite a shock for you guys.

Stay inside and stay warm, as I'm sure you guys don't have winter tires on.

Happy Holidays! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

"REDNECKS ON ICE!'


See Bubba in his 4x4 Chevy as he drives down the icy freeway at 70 MPH!

Listen to Bubba as he is interviewed by the news agencies after he causes a 20 car pileup... "I thought 4 wheel drive would make me able to drive like I always do when it's snowin.." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/spank.gif)

That looks like Washington snow when we get it. We have the same problems except it's soccer moms and SUVS goin down hills. They think 4 wheel drive will help them stop. They run into all the kids in Mustangs tryin to go up the same hills.

It makes great news footage. Car bowling! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Call in the National Guard. Pass out the shovels. We gotta dig Granny out before she catches a chill. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Just try to FIND a snow shovel in a store here. They don't exist.......

Just hit the freezing mark here. But it's only supposed to stay a day or three. Back to highs of 60 degrees this time next week.

Never buy "winter" formula windshield washer fluid in Texas and then drive North. You can use your washers again about May....

Dad is about 60 miles north of Amarillo in a little town called Boerger. He likes it there. I couldnt live there. Everything is closed down, not much of a town anymore. He has to go into Amarillo for just about everything.
