bump that... I got on the road at 445am this morning to go to work. Between Denton and Ft. Worth you couldn't see the road. I had to turn around and go back and sit at a Race Trac until the sun came up. They are currently saying up to 10 inches in the northern counties.

We have 4+ and it is still coming down hard. It's so pretty to look at and I am very thankful I can work from home on days like this.

Debbi,

They are saying to expect 4 to 7 inches in our area, and 10+ in the northern counties! Its going to be a fun drive home!

I am at our terminal in Lancaster and have to go back to Ft Worth to load tonite, hoping the shipper has stuff ready this morning. I am going to be there just in case, bad part is the load is only going up the road to Marietta, OK...

I was just up in IA on Monday and there was 20 inches on the grown, 10 more coming down and 35 mph winds coming up... would rather be there than here in Dallas area when it comes to snow.

Lancaster? You near the DIT UP yard?

I'm across I-45 at our Wilmer intermodal yard today. Took me an hour to get here from Plano at 6:30AM! I'm not looking forward to the drive home either...

Springtown opened as well, but the bus never showed up. An hour after taking the kid to school, they closed. Gotta love it!

I bet that is so frustrating Debbi.

I'm in downtown Fort Worth at work and will probably leave early. My wife works at Harris Methodist Fort Worth and we drove in together. But I have to go to the Apple Store off of University in Fort Worth to get my iPhone back to working order....I have a 12:30 PM appointment.

our terminal is first exit south of 635 on 35, and I have to go up to NW corner of FTW near Saginaw to load. Of course I need to make a stop at Fry's on Matlock on way across town, tax money due back soon.
