Yeah - it happens here in the Dallas area about once a year. Last year we had a HUGE one of about 3 to 4 inches. That's a lot for here.

So far as of right now I would say we have a 1/4 of ice pellets on the ground.. It's going to be super fun tomorrow. I'm working from home for sure!

Actually, it's not icy and freezing very often here in the Dallas area....It's just that during the winter months when it gets rough and cold.....It really does get crazy. But don't worry...When we get close to summer time, it will get so damn HOT that it's just going to be pure punishment. You might think I'm crazy, but I would enjoy this weather while you can (just kidding).

Should have kept the Evo

The tollway from Frisco to 635 was slow (35-40mph) but I didn't slip at all on it.

Now getting to the tollway? Sweet 4 wheel drift in the neighborhood, 5mph slide right through a red light (thanks for not going guys!) and then some more 4 wheel drift action on the side streets near the parking garage (controlled of course).
