Icy Roads

I know we arnt in Colorado, but where the hell are the sand trucks! ? You'd think after having this many accidents, school and county offices being closed they would do something.

The roads aren't that bad today. Hell here in mansfield only some of the intersections are sanded at all. Im more than ready for 100* days though.

Denton is crap. If you can get rolling you have to slow down for the jackwagon goin 10 mph in a 45. The bad thing is front wheel drive is king in the ice and snow and they are the ones rolling slow.

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate this. Those of us with 4WD had a blast Tuesday sliding around and playing on the back roads of Denton county.

It's not just here, all states are having issues. Working at Temple Inland, half our facilities have been shut down in the Central US all the way up to our Indy facilities.

The part I hate the most is having to walk my dogs. It's murder in 19 degree weather with wind. Glad I snowboard regularly, had to break out all my gear just to walk my dogs.

Driving through town and heard a clicking noise from the cop car next to me. Denton pd is using ice tires. Of course he was slow rolling too!

I work in Wichita Falls during the week. I had to leave my Trans Am up there. I tried pulling out of my parking spot and couldn't even get it to move. I tried every gear up to 5th to decrease torque, but the tires still spun. It wasn't moving!!!
