Yeah, it's Keller. Didn't know about them being hair-triggered though. I do expect other closures to come trickling in however.

How important is it ?
If it were ME, I'd start earlier and plan to get here later. Lots of snacks and drinks in the car.
I don't know where you will start to encounter the weather.
How does that mini handle in the snow ?
I would think the weight of the dish might make it better ?

I'm tired of going outside to knock the snow off the DISH every 15 minutes when it loses the signal.

NO need to be sorry.
You're thread is a good start for those who don't monitor the DFW area.

Like your pix by the way. The white balance is off a bit.
