The Dreaded Arctic Blast!!!

Nothing shakes up or shuts down Dallas-Ft. Worth like the Arctic Blast. It's like the local TV stations live for the words arctic blast, and wintry mix.  Even the newspaper and radio are in on the act. 

Fox 4 had a guy in Gainesville doing a live spot who basically said, "Yep, it's cold up here."  There's no doubt that the 40 degree temperature shift over the course of an hour or so was strange even by Texas standards, but are you telling me all the news of the day should take the back seat to a couple of snow flakes?

I can only laugh, but it seems like it's getting worse each winter.  The sand truck guys are giving canned speeches now.  I do hope I'm wrong in my original prediction and we can get an ice day out of the deal.
