  1. we don't salt in texas we sand & the toll roads have a chem they use with sand but i have never seen salt used in texas
  2. assuming a constant airmass, the high temperature of the day will not be achieved until very late in the afternoon big issues occur when .01" of any winter precipitation that is not snow hits a road and freezes and if the accumulation is more than .1" it does not melt instantly at 33F furthermore the type of pavement also determines the melt rate finally direct sunlight also accelerates the melt which is NOT forecast for friday txdot needs to concentrate every sanding vehicle in a 200 mile radius on the frozen precip zone on i35 between waco and italy will the tower or bellmont or cdc reach out to someone a mile away in the governor's mansion to make it happen? only the shadow knows
  3. unless you are planning on turning around and driving multiple hours away from arlington, the refreeze overnight after the game won't matter go to wherever you are staying in dfw get up saturday everything is thawed out by noon drive home
  4. k sorry if i come off jumpy
  5. Purchasing the winter infrastructure for roads in the metroplex at a cost of tens of millions is not a waste of resources when our grid governance results in the rape of texans to the tune of billions of dollars a year - polar vortexes and winterization are directly connected - winterization of the grid - winterization of the roads - winterization - one topic text from up north is kxas is still sticking with 2-5" in dfw
  6. i just tried the fox7 fucktard god i want to throttle these oblivious motherfuckers
  7. there will be no sun all afternoon the precip will end around noon at sunrise friday, frozen precip will be on all roads heading to dfw from the west, southwest, south, southeast and east the vast majority of Texas fans had planned on driving in on friday "letting the 40 degree temps do their thing all afternoon" means fuckall to everyone trying to safely get to the deathstar from anywhere in the state
  8. kxas is sticking with 2-5" of snow in the metroplex the winter mix zone south of dfw and west of i35 is going to be the problem to repeat for people who are not reading or ignoring what i've posted 281 is NOT a better option than 35 281 WILL NOT have better conditions 281 WILL NOT be faster, safer or easier
  9. has cdc or bellmont commented?
  10. southwest can schedule around dal to avoid an irrop pileup and recover fairly quickly - but i haven't looked at what they are dealing with from the midwest over the weekend american at dfw? almost guaranteed multi-day melt to catch up i would avoid any air travel departing before sunday any where east of the rockies
  11. i saw that when it happened - i thought he wanted to get off camera so he could see the play that was about to snap
  12. one of these teams should troll aggy and offer to travel to pyle to play for free
  13. i'm in austin right now and the local weather teams are competing for the 3rd-world situational awareness trophy in US broadcasting my god they have remained dumbed down to a level that was surprising even in the 80s in comparison to dallas or houston they spend 5 minutes on the game and talk about "arlington" and "i35" "again" right after they spend 5 minutes on a winter weather fearfest that cuts off at the north edge of williamson county i don't expect the dfw or houston weather teams to contemplate i35/i45 travel on thursday and friday but i sure as fuck expect the austin stations to do so for i35 trying to piece together what each of them are thinking and how it stitches together from south to north is a pain in the ass
  14. everything is going to melt by 3pm travel within the metroplex is going to be normal it's getting TO the metroplex that is the problem
  15. the weather gods are not cooperating with the tailgate the wishcast: somehow i35 stays clear or melts in plenty of time for a 10am austin departure to encounter unfrozen (but still wet) roads to the tailgate for a 2pm or 3pm arrival the forecast: i35 is still receiving winter precip at 10am north of hillsboro that doesn't melt until noon or 1pm such that a tailgate arrival with any time to spend at the tailgate event makes the walk to the stadium and ingress process pushing butts in seats until the 2nd quarter
  16. monday 6pm tl/dr 100% certainty of attendance with lowest possible stress by absorbing the extra cost of arriving wednesday any travel air or ground thursday through friday noon is a crapshoot leaving austin or houston at 10am on friday is a crapshoot but likely gets you to the deathstar by 5pm - if you don't die on the road
  17. thursday flights to dal or dfw are going to bust friday flights to dal or dfw are going to effected by the irrops from thursday it's all a crapshoot after 10pm wednesday night
  18. will there be any frozen precip on the ground or streets around dal at 1p on friday? probably not will LUV have their shit together and have no irrop pileup from the previous 36 hours? faafo
  19. bad news kxas has shifted in to more agreement with the kxan modeling the line of fuckery could shift east of i35 - or not but more importantly, the line of sleet & freezing rain mix is going to be ~100 miles wide north-to-south and run from waco to shreveport this is the kxas picture at 9am friday sorry for the shading - unavoidable when you pause the video the damage will have already been done all day thursday and thursday night overnight mixed precip will have fallen and frozen on both i35 and i45 south of dallas wednesday remains wide open don't try to drive thursday or thursday night friday is a crapshoot to get to the game on time from austin or houston
  20. it's not all season uga1 (27/29/0) uga2 (28/31/0) asu (30/53/1) just those 3 16 days ago we rolled clemson for 292 & 4 tds 3 weeks before that was 250 against aggy vandy (104) & pig (139) were the other 'concerning' games the run game sucking "all season" is another recency bias
  21. the actual winter precip location may change but right now 281 is not a cunning plan on thursday or friday
  22. trusty scores his 1st for celtic:
