Ugh...so the weather will start to get really crappy in Dallas on Thursday night, to the point of freezing rain/sleet on Friday for the most part. If it gets really bad, I may not be able to go.

Piece of advise check the weather thursday. Texas is very unpredictable for weather and the weatherman are notorious for getting people into a frenzy. If I were to put my money it rains, sleets, nothing sticks and it will be very cold. It was 77 yesterday and 70+ today so I would not expect the worst.

I'm still planning barring really bad weather. But even in bad weather, I'm not scared of it so much as I am scared of other drivers who still think it's safe to drive 60-70 mph.

update on weather for those interested. One I appear to be wrong. It is still snowing/sleeting at this momment. It lasted longer and while I live 30 minutes north of the event, I will say that we are talking about 4-6 inches of sleet that froze overnight. For those thinking about this it is really going to come down to the road conditions. Right now they are terrible.

The airport is a mess. Reports from people who managed to land are that it's like landing on skates.

Sadly, due to the weather, I did not make the 300 miles trip from San Antonio to Dallas. For those who are going there, good luck and be safe!

latest update, the ground didn't melt much during the day. Expect 1-3 inches of ice still even in the morning saturday.

Not sure of the turn out, I heard around 770, seems really high considering that unless you took backroads or got a hotel close by it is really slow going. 2.5 hours to go 5 miles.Saw some people peeing on the side of the road...
