STOP SIGN FATALITY

Fort Worth, TX

It iced last night, more than we had snow, so there's almost two inches of ice on the road. I ventured out for a little bit but stayed near my home. Looks like someone took out the stop sign a few blocks over.

15 degrees F out there right now with up to 35mph gusts of wind. The cold should get down to single digits tonight. Doesn't happen often here and glad it doesn't stick around long. I was so cold, I couldn't stay out long.

Wow, that's cold for almost anyplace. The wind chill is a killer, stay in and stay warm.

The weather seems to be the talk of the town!
Nice that you ventured out in the cold to get this documentary shot!

Isn't it amazing how signs always seem to be in the wrong place when you slide on ice? Cowboy up Cindi :-)

Way to go Cindi!

Highway department will take a while to get to that one, they have their hands full right now. Stay inside, the wind chill is brutal. But at least we got to see the sun for a few moments today

Not good weather to be out in. I'll bet the Super Bowl people feel right at home.

As much as I want to get out tomorrow to take photos of the ice here, I think the windchill will prevent me from doing so. I am not as hardcore as Mike Stobbs. Stay warm.
