January 9Jan 9 I think temp maybe 1-2 degrees cooler than expected resulting in snow here. Kids are excited. Regardless, think it's pretty safe to say would not be a good idea to leave early from Austin tomorrow. Roads will be nasty most of Friday AM

January 9Jan 9 It’s raining pretty good in Arlington right now. I expect (and am planning for) the streets to be pretty nasty (ice, slush) Friday morning and increasingly passable as the afternoon progresses.

The sleet has turned to a light snow east of White Rock Lake. We have started gathering items to use as kindling in case the power goes out and we have to stay warm. We are fashioning a makeshift snow plow in case we have to tunnel our way out.
January 9Jan 9 In all seriousness, there are reports of vehicles crashing on overpasses around the Metroplex. There's a semi hanging off 114 and Grauwyler which is near the site of where Texas Stadium was. Overpasses are going to be a problem so drive safely around this, which are plentiful.

January 9Jan 9 csb Buddy of mine grew up in Miami. Went to Miami and his first job was in Boca. He was transferred to Burlington, VT, and was convinced that he'd never miss work because of snow. So, he bought a truck with a plow, and backed it into his driveway. On the first big snow, he was undeterred. He shoveled his way out of his house to the truck. He started up the truck, attempting to plow his way to work. After about 20 feet of travel in his driveway, he had covered the top of his truck with snow and was stuck and could not see. He turned off the truck and walked back inside. He had never practiced snow plowing before. /csb

January 9Jan 9 We live less than 3 miles from Jerryworld and the rain changed to sleet about an hour ago. It’s just starting to stick now. Be careful on overpasses and side streets.

January 9Jan 9 Pretty interesting. Obvious it's all about where the freezing line is setting up which is crossed through the metroplex. We are north of it and still getting all snow. Still warm enough that it's melting on roads right now but would assume further north you go overpasses are getting pretty damn slick. Also nice that it's not so damn cold like the 2021 event with snow and kids can play outside longer.
January 9Jan 9 Thursday morning update The good news is that the threat of a significant ice storm is receding. It now appears as though this will be primarily a snow and sleet event in the vicinity of the metroplex in general, and Jerry World in specific. We are looking at 3 to 6 inches of snow, with some additional sleet thrown into the mix for the Dallas area. How much of this sticks will depend on temperatures, which will be in the 30 to 34 degree range overnight Thursday in Friday morning. (If things were going to be 5 degrees colder, this would be snow-mageddon). The potential for roadway issues is still pretty high on Friday morning, but I do expect things to start melting by late morning or early afternoon at the latest. The bottom line is that the later you can drive in, the better. The problem is if everyone else has this same idea.

That winter, he earned the nickname "Two-wheel Timmy" for his inability to drive anywhere.

January 9Jan 9 Author target: tailgate the best thing you can do tomorrow is have a competent shotgun google map analyst, either in the vehicle with you, or remote on hands free device someone not driving should be monitoring the freeze line, road status (black/red/yellow/green) and the surl for real-time reports in this thread this cap shows 3 different routes from the i35 split to the tailgate location at 816 North Collins 76011 i have comments about each of these routes but will hold off until later this afternoon as we see how the day plays out
