    remember FW... Texas doesn't have the same amount of resources that they do up in the north to take care of situations like that... I'll give you a recent experience of mine.. December 2013 I was coming back from Dallas to Houston which is 247 miles 8.5 hours because of all the ice... It was a nightmare

    The only safe place during winter is what Florida? To run around for fuel money maybe lmao.
    Maybe Cali but I don't know anything about running that area.

    I know, I remember seeing scary news reports in Texas sometimes.
    However the Northeast was terrible last winter.
    Remember you've got all those Fedwrex trucks that floor it no matter the road conditions.
    Soo many pile ups on the news and ugh man it sucked.

    The way to work winter time is book a day MAYBE two out and when you see an ice storm coming GTFO!

    Yep, I'll drive in everything else, but when the roads start to ice over, I shut it down.

    Last Feb I ran out of my 14 on that bridge on I20 in front of the OC coming from Freeport. In good weather, I could easily made it past OK City.
