Rkunsaw...are you getting that freezing rain? It was predicted here, but we have above freezing temps today, 35 degrees right now, and the rain is about over...whew..was not looking forward to ice.
Jillaroo:

TWH:
We MIGHT get a bit of freezing rain late this afternoon. But never fear, the temps are going to be in low 50's F by Friday<-----BLACK Friday that is - lollollol
Oh darn..I was looking forward to seeing those Black Friday shoppers lined up in the sleet four hours before the stores open..Ho, Ho,Ho!
Would not want to be near DFW airport during the holidays, let alone during icy conditions. Been there done that for many years. The first two years I lived in Dallas I spent half my life stuck in airports in the winter Usually, getting out of Dallas was not the problem. Getting back from or going to Amarillo, Denver and Durango Co, Albuquerque and Silver City NM, Altus, OK, on connecting flights was the killer. I read a lot of books
I was paid to be there, otherwise my FWA would have not seen the seat of an airplane. The weather is so unpredictable in some of these areas you never knew what you would be facing when you opened the motel room door in the morning. Getting to the airport was the real challenge. I knew I was in trouble the first time I landed in Durango and the only rental cars at the tiny airport were four-wheel drive SUV's...sure enough stuck there on several trips.

It's hairy in the Dallas area when the weather is bad, one year I visited my sister in Plano, and she drove me back to the airport. Night before there was an ice storm, so driving to the airport was quite the experience...like driving on an ice skating rink. Stop lights were optional, whoever could stop did.
Glad my flight wasn't delayed.
You hit that one just right, as weather that bad is a fairly rare occurrence in the Metroplex. Maybe once a year, or every other year, usually around January. Plano is a rough trek trafficwise to the airport in good weather conditions, let alone icy ones. You were brave souls for trying it.
