    ice and snow...lovely

    Well I will be at home all day as I called work off today. It snowed last night and iced everything over...there is water on the roads with ice....and all of dfw only has like 4 sand trucks.....no joking..that's about all we have...they use dump trucks with people in the back tossing the dirt out when its bad...or using graders to remove snow/ice




    so long story short...I would not be pulling any trailer today...none of my guys will be pulling any trailers so its just better to stay home (people here do not know how to drive on wet roads let alone iced roads)

    Yea, I love the lake effect snow, the county west of us can get a foot of heavy snow while we get 2", or visa-versa.

    I recently checked the forecast and it seems like we may get a lil snow early in the am. Tomorrows my day off so I really could care less.

    I am from Canton Ohio so snow and ice is pretty common to me. I love the brake riders on the highway though. I really miss the snow allot 2 inches or more in saint louis and the news runs constantly and they shutdown everything its a joke. Easy when are you going to be headed this way up I-44 to your destinations.
