North Texas-AGAIN!!!

Who knows, but the massive pileups seem to be getting bigger. Oregon had 170 vehicle one so 200 is next.

 

Well, they did close the TX-Express lanes until Thursday night so there won't be any accidents in lanes where you have nowhere to go but forward.

 

Aggressive driving and over reliance on nanny aids. Nanny aids have been sold as a get your ### out of trouble device no need to be defensive driver anymore.

 

OK City/Southern OK is messed up today, also. They put salt down but it doesn't work below 15 degrees. You would think they would have some magnesium chloride salt in reserve for the times it stays below 15 but I guess not.

 

I came down 83 yesterday and they had it pre-treated around Childress and on 287.I waited about 6 hours this morning in Henrietta until they got some plowing done.20 mph down 35W through Ft.Worth.It took 7 hours to get from Witchita Falls to Houston today.

 

Man....I got up late last night and snuck down to Waco and delivered at 6 am.....now that's anticipation there lol. It was so windy....I don't know why they didn't think road conditions weren't going to deteriorate so quickly. I guess they didn't figure in wind chill factor.

The NWS fd up the forecast a little bit. It was supposed to start this afternoon and last through tomorrow. I'm on I 10 between San Antonio and Houston and it's icing now. I think the plunge of cold air was a little stronger and faster than they thought. Only saving grace was it has been so warm the roads temp stayed above freezing where I was. Will be a real #### show in the morning if they don't shut it all down.
