Looks like you guys got the butt end of what blew through here. Be careful, DFW was like a bumper car rink.

When I was down there for school around 97-98 I remember it iced over really bad early in the year. Everything closed down for about 3 days. It can be pretty bad in Austin with all the hills.

I guess your rear tires being bald had nothing to do with it huh?

No I had just gotten them replaced two days earlier.

I was on hulen near bellair and was going like 13mph and figured the middle lane would be the safest and as soon as I moved over about a 100yds later the back end came out and I just let nature takes its course. No damage though. It was worse the next day with the snow. I couldn't even get out of the parking lot bc of the snow
