Even though we've allready had a few days of snow, this was the first fun one of the season. It rained all day yesterday, about and inch or so and today the lake kicked up a little flurry activity. Well with some roads and especially bridges being a tad wet and 20-30 mph winds and temps dropping sub 32, well BLACK ICE TIME. Myself went for a little spin, but once I got that back under control the rest of the ride home near bridges looked like parking lots. Over 30 cars involved in some type of wreck and salt crews no where to be found. God Gotta Love Winter Driving!!

no joke. it only gets icy here maybe twice a year in dallas. Actually, it has only snowed 2 times in recorded history in dallas. Last christmas was the second, and the first was in like the 1800's.

Sounds a lot like Ohio drivers. . . Can't drive worth a **** -- not in rain, not in snow, heck, they're challenged on DRY streets.

turkey making you sleep is a myth, theres actually more of the sleeping chemical in chicken then there is in turkey, and neither are nearly enough to make you nod off. they actually claim all the chewing and digesting is what tires you out
