Weather Channel last night was showing Dallas roads and my 6-yr-old daughter and I were watching it, and there was a white Mustang shown driving along pretty slow. Then all of a sudden the backend started sliding, and the driver slowed up and straightened the car and then a few seconds later it slid again and recovered and then slid again and recovered.

My daughter, a Phoenix gurl who has only seen snow a couple of times in her life and has never been in a car which had to drive on a slick room, she was amazed and was laughing her tail off. As soon as her brother came into the road, she was telling him about it and they were both laughing. It was a classic family moment !!

My sister lives about 150 miles west of Dallas, and she had to take her husband to DFW airport yesterday. She got caught in the ice storm. On the way home on I-30/I-20, she was almost snowbound by all the accidents and the 18-wheelers who still insisted on trying to continue. The state troopers finally resorted to blocking the freeway entrance ramps and allowing CARS ONLY, not trucks, to enter the freeway.

After about 4 hours of crawling along either stopped or at 5 miles per hour, she finally exited the Interstate and took a parallel state highway and made MUCH better time.

It almost became complete gridlock on the Interstate.
