good luck.go ahead and call the boss and tell him you're going to be late

Even if it's the great MrEous driving on ice, it doesn't matter. Ice is ice and the friction between ice and tires is much less than any other substance (rain/snow)

If you don't make it through the bad weather, I'll descrate your grave if I'm not in your will.

dude, i've got bald summer tires on a 4200lb rwd sedan, if it ices and you see my car run away.

God I could only imagine what would happen if it snowed in San Diego. The CIty would be one big car accident. When it rains in san diego just even a slight drizzle. THe police are so bogged down with car accidents they say not to call the police unless somebody is injured. I could only imagine if it snowed. ANd when I Say the city would be one big car accident I am not kidding. I don't even know how to get snow off my winsheild. I knew new winsheild wipers. Half my friends need new windsheild wipers too. Man it would literally be a catastrophy. We would need some aid from other cities seriously. Needless to say it would be pretty awsome I want to see what would happen.

Well good luck. If Dallas is a desert like San Diego then good luck buddy and drive safely.

Yeah Raleigh freaks out too. If the news says we might get a 1/2" of snow, the grocery stores get mobbed. And the only thing everyone buys is bread, eggs and milk, like the snow means you have to make french toast or die. I don't get it. The news anchors say things like "Icicles, while beautiful, can be DEADLY".
