Icy USA

    I live in Denison, Texas,...right on the Red River
between Texas and Oklahoma. We received 4-5 
inches of snow on top of sleet and ice Monday
night/Tuesday morning,...and it won't go away.
The last two nights have seen temperatures drop
into the single digits...but during the daytime the
sun has helped out to clear up parts of the streets.
.... Just when you think you have it bad,..consider
the plight of others.. About half of the country is
under this storm and the Midwest and Northeast
have really taken the brunt of this mess..
   I used to drive the Chicago area and I really have
concern for them. Lake Shore Drive in Chicago is
a major highway for the commuters and the storm
was so bad on Tuesday that drivers were stranded
in their cars for 6-7 hours. Authorities rescued drivers
with snowmobiles and took them to safety. The cars
are still on Lake Shore Drive and may not be moved
until Thursday.....or whenever the snow can be removed.
