I think it is a good thing to get a little crazy in ice and snow, that way you know in advance what to do and how to react if you actually do have a control problem. It's those folks who are driving on eggshells and scared or ignore road conditions completely that cause accidents.

You have no idea how homesick that makes me every time you post about Corpus. Like this little pang in my chest. Ow!
So, it hadn't snowed or iced in Corpus for like 100+ years. Then in the last 5 maybe we had a full blown snowfall and now a sleet storm? Did someone call Al Gore?
I bet my friends are freezing. Nobody has the clothes to dress for the cold.
It WILL be scary driving there. I'm Canadian, I have snow/ice SKILLZ... but Corpus? They don't even have a sensible sander to come out de-ice the streets.

Gads, Texans drive like kamikazes no matter what the weather conditions. Must be a real hoot for the tow truck drivers right now
That is a good way to put it, Kamakazis. But that is mainly houston dallas and austin. Pretty much the rest of the towns are pretty laid back on there driving. Like in fort worth no one even goes the speed limit.

My friend lives there.... go stay at her place....
Can you imagine getting over that bridge with sleet and no salt on the roads to melt it? I use to have to floor my Nissan a mile down the road so I could get over that sucker... I probably slowed down to 20. I'd be rocking in my seat, trying to help get my little girl over it, yelling "Common Bessie!". I swear.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A storm packing blustery winds and driving rain knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses in the Northeast on Thursday before giving way to sunny skies and record high temperatures - all in the same morning.
Utility officials reported sporadic power outages from Maine to New Jersey after wind knocked down trees and power lines early Thursday. Winds reached up to 49 mph in Brunswick, Maine, while the Isle of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire recorded a 61 mph gust. In New Jersey, wind speeds topped out at 45 mph.
But the rain and wind that battered the region early Thursday gave way to sunny skies and unseasonably high temperatures by mid-morning.
In Boston, the temperature hit 69 degrees, breaking the old record of 65 set in 1932. In Portland, the temperature climbed to 68 degrees - crushing the old high of 55 for the date. Providence, R.I., had a record high of 66, and Concord, N.H., set a record at 65.

crazy eh? 13degrees higher than the record, who said al gore?

I am originally an LA guy and when I cut through Texas in 85 the fools in Dallas were pulling the same crap we did in LA on half as many lanes going 20 miles an hour faster
