Well well well... It appears to be a typical day here in Calgary... oops, I meant to say Dallas. I was confused for a minute as I look outside at the falling SNOW. It snowed over night and it is still snowing. It is supposed to stop snowing by lunch time and by then, we will have about 6 INCHES of that crappy stuff on the ground. This is Dallas’ worst winter in 22 years! Aren't you glad they waited for us to arrive?
This snow on top of the 2-3 inches of ice on the roads has made travel by car extremely dangerous. There are all kinds of stranded cars, trucks, semi trucks, etc. not to mention lots of accidents (close to 800 this week so far). Many businesses are closed and the schools have been closed since Tuesday. American Airlines has cancelled 360 flights and American Eagle has cancelled 480 flights. This is not good for the football fans who are trying to get here for some pre-Super Bowl activities. The news on TV has replaced some regular day time shows as they continue to report live snow conditions across the Dallas Fort Worth area. Last night’s news showed a girl figure skating on her residential street – seriously!!!
Thank goodness the Cowboys stadium is covered and the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburg Steelers will be able to play for this 45th Super Bowl game at 5:30 pm on Sunday. Kevin was thinking maybe we could get some tickets from people who can’t get here for the game. However, I am pretty sure they would still be really expensive and our preference will be to watch it at home with the fireplace going. Nice and warm and comfy.
Happy Super Bowl Weekend!!!
