    Call the AFD and tell them you have around 110,000 people showing up at your house today and you are concerned about the ice and snow sliding off the roof falling around 200 feet and hurting people. Since the snow and ice falling off the roof has already put a few people in the hospital and you don't want anyone else to get hurt...... I'd bet they would help now rather than wait and have to respond if the snow and ice was to tumble off your roof and hurt people.

    Wait, there is a Police car pulling up, now...

    Friday morning was a blast. I was out in the Jeep plowing through 4 inches of very fluffy snow on the main roads. It was a lot more fun than later in the day.

    Tomorrow should prove interesting. Fesh snow over fresh ice. Should make for a less than amusing drive home.

    Kid had the day off of school.... Drove the wife to work in Downtown Ft. Worth then shot over to Euless. Roads didn't seem that bad to me. FWD FTW!

    Melissa has the day off, so she stayed home with Colin. I took her CR-V this morning. AWD + VSC = laughing at everyone slipping and sliding on the morning commute.

    Yeah I don't see taking that car out in this with the other idiots on the road. Plus the tires on that car would probably be worse than the Star Specs with a treadwear of 140...
