there's just a really annoying wind thing going on with some cold wet pissing action - i guess you could call that a wintery mix if you wanted to

I thought everyone staying home from work were being big babies. Then I left my car lights on, and when I went to turn them off 20 minutes after I got here, I slipped on ice.

i "oops." rock

I'm in NE Grapevine.

I hope it stays clear until the end of the day, so class gets canceled.

It started to get sleety & icy at work, so I bailed. On 635 I saw 4 accidents from the frozen roads. Idiots

On the plus side, I'm at home and it's snowing like crazy out there. Now to just get squeezle home

Yup, in about 5 minutes I watched my car thermometer go from 77 to 55 yesterday at about 7:15PM. I thought my car was broken until I got out of it.

i hate idiots who can't drive when its cold. they either drive 5 miles an hour with their foot on the break (on ice, way to go genius. your breaks will do a lot) or they drive like nothing is special and then slam into another car and can't figure out what happened.

my passat was really good on ice. My dad took me out when I first got it to teach me how to drive on ice and he kept trying to get the car to skid but it wouldn't. way to go passat! my new car has shitty tires so I doubt it will be as successful. poor mazda. its not your fault they stuck shitty goodyear racing tires on you. you just wanted some traction, didnt you?

I think the appropriate term is "Texan."

I just pictured Dayla scratching her car behind it's rearview mirrors.

Can't you just stick it on automated re-runs of 80s game shows and get the heck out? ;)
