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,...
