This was me leaving the office in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this past Thursday evening. Most of the metroplex got near 10" of snow which is a record for this area. I would not have made it home if I only had the C6.



Global Warming, my a**.

Good to know you're trying to do your part anyway... commuting by yourself in your Denali.

I heard that the total was 12.5" .........for an area that has a 2" annual average. Must be fun.

That's a LOT of snow for Texas! Glad you had a safer vehicle. Down there, the drivers are the scariest thing regardless of whether or not your own vehicle / equipment is good. I would be worried about anything not parked in a garage on a day like that in Texas.

I've done worse this year, but I live in Salt Lake City, not Dallas. We sort of expect it once in a while.

Great pic but come on Corey. I bet it hasn't snowed like that in 50 years.
