I've seen a lot of snow and even a lot of snow in Texas, but I've never seen a lot of snow in Texas that actually stuck to the ground like it did last night. My roommate made a snowman too! Its nice to have a white winter day for once even if it was only a couple hours.

you forgot the beer.....lot's and lot's of beer

(keeps you warm

:P )

how the hell did i forget the beer.

My only question to you guys is this, how many accidents were there this morning because people dont know how to drive in snow, or icy conditions for that matter? Im guessing a lot.

Well the snow came in the evening so there were ZERO accidents because of snow yesterday morning. Joking aside, I didn't see any accidents when I went out to eat dinner, but I also didn't drive very far.

A very large number of accidents and traffic jams all over this morning.

People just don't understand what a lack of traction can do.....

In Orlando it rains pretty bad every afternoon in the summer. Whenever I left work and it was raining I had a game I'd play which was essentially "count how many cars are washed off the road." Even though it rained every freaking day, people still couldn't figure it out.

I love when it's raining (or snowing, as it was last night) and you still have people riding your ass at 50mph, or passing you aggressively to be the first to the red light.

Actually Veovis, I take that game a step further.

I try to just glance at license plate tags and see if I can recall it. So many close calls in a car. That just irritates me. I've got a lot of people who put me in dangerous positions/situations when I"m on my bicycle.

Never know when you'll need the actual license plate of someone, but I"m up to about 40% accuracy. I just wonder what my accuracy will be like in a real situation and adrenaline starts going or if I'll have the foresight/remember to look at the license plate as I'm falling to the ground.
