My old man says he was driving thru Dallas the other day and that there were over 290 accidents.

Apparently it was kinda nasty. Mom said that if it weren't for barriers between the N & S lanes they would have had a head on with a pickup.

What day? We had some ice and cold over the weekend but last week was fine. I did see a TON of accidents on my way to Stake Priesthood meeting Sunday morning at 7AM.

We talked on SKYPE last night. I assume it was Sunday or Monday.

I'll have to ask him again. I can't believe it would be as bad as he said and not be kind of a big local story.

I was hoping they would cancel church, but they didn't. Ice on the roads, bad news around here.

Combination of little sand/salt and inexperienced drivers.

Black ice....

You know they need to cancel church a little more often. Give us a bye week now and then (besides stake conference)

I was almost to the point of fasting & praying for ice Saturday just so I wouldn't have to commute to work that night.

A friend of mine from Boston has a great story. He was talking to a guy who owned an auto body shop. They were standing out in the bay one cold evening, and it started raining. The guy looked out at the rain, kind of nodded his head, and said, "Ah, yes. This should ice up nicely."

Apparently the whole thing was Saturday... My parents ran into trouble in Dallas and on I-35 going to Whichata.

My old man says that the local news said there were over 300 accidents in the Dallas area. That seems like a lot... I guess a little girl was killed in one of the crashes....

He said this was all North of Dallas.
