WEATHER

SilverEagle · December 7, 2005

I've been hearing reports of moisture falling around Meacham Airport in North Fort Worth. I live about two miles north of that and so far nothing has fallen......except the temperature.

How about the rest of the metroplex? Weatherwise, tell us what you're seeing out there.

The wife got 3 miles north of Weatherford on Hwy 51 trying to get to Springtown, then turned around to pick up the kids to go home. Said the two bridges are already freezing, no sand, emergency vehicles traveling north and southbound and several cars pulled over trying to avoid the slick spots. I suspect it will get worse for this afternoons commute home. If you can, stay home. Of course, if your reading this now, it's too late other than ready yourself for the "Pucker Factor" going home.

BubbaGreen · December 7, 2005

grand prarie area is bone dry so far as of 8:15 am

LongJim · December 7, 2005

River Oaks/I30 all the way to about 820 east is light rain, which is turning to slush on the windshield. Bridges were clear at 7:45a, but the DOT signs are warning of freezing conditions coming.

Dry at I30/Cooper, but looks like the rain is heading in from the W/NW.

I got a few sprinkles headed into downtown Dallas to work. Nothing bad though, except the usual crazies who don't know how to drive.

Huff · December 7, 2005

It is still dry in Azle just before 9:00 but people coming from the Aledo area say that it is getting bad in that area. We got the word a few minutes ago that Aledo was turning out school early today.

Northwest ISD has just done the same.

Cool and damp in NW Houston. Light rain and temperature in the low 50's. Of course, the weather folks down here make it sound like we are suffering through a deep freeze.

To all of you in the DFW area, be safe.

THOR · December 7, 2005

As of right now, it's snowing at Hodge Elementary on Loop 288 and Kings Row!!!!! The kids are going nuts!

untgirl04 · December 7, 2005

It's starting to freeze here in Denton. A little light sleet, but it's not sticking yet.

On my way here this morning, hit some ice in Lewisville. Nothing too bad, and most importantly, the bridge is still dry. The nasty weather is supposed to hit here around 11 am. I'll be leaving early.

SilverEagle · December 7, 2005

Drove to downtown Fort Worth and back. On my front windshield, there were some spots that would freeze faster than the defroster could melt it. It's coming down pretty steady here in Northern Ft Worth/Tarrant county. I expect to hear that the Eagle Mountain/Saginaw ISD will be ending school early today.

BTW last night, Kristine Kahanek predicted that it would be this bad.

West Fort Worth ...

Drove out towards Granbury for something ... saw 1 SUV on its side ... roads are okay but slick in some sports ... bridges are going to get bad pretty fast if it keep up the precip that's falling here ... saw some crews trying to get sand out.

I send my regards to those that try and attend the Happy Hour at the Flying Saucer this evening in Downtown FW.

Coffee and TV · December 7, 2005

working in northwest dallas and apparently my supervisors are too good to listen to me when I say we need to shut down early. But that's ok, when the bridges freeze over and black ice shows up in the highway maybe they'll learn. It may not be sticking right now but wait until 4pm.

H-towngreen · December 7, 2005

53 with scattered storms in H-town.

I am here in southern Denton County. There is no wind. Temperature is 72 degrees and it is dry as a bone. I am currently in my office but outside it may be different.

meangreendork · December 7, 2005

23 Degrees in Denton. Sleet, but nothing some safe and slow driving won't take care of. I just wish I didn't see so many people in SUVs driving faster than they need to out here. 2 accidents on 35E, all spinouts from overpasses.
