    Just a little friendly advice from someone who has lived in a northern state and a southern state.
    1) Stay at home.
    2) If you are an essential employee, try to get a ride with someone who has a high clearance 4WD vehicle, and is a safe and experienced driver.
    3) If you are stuck in deep snow, the worst thing you can do is to hit the gas pedal and cause your drive wheels to spin.
    This will only melt the snow, leaving water on top of ice or icy snow, and dig your wheels in deeper. Then you'll definitely need a tow.
    4) Suggested technique that *may* help to free your vehicle if you are stuck on a hard surface, and not on an incline.
    5) Carefully "rock" your vehicle, using less gas pedal pressure, going forward a little, then hold the vehicle with the brake pedal while switching to reverse. Then slightly back up, then hold the car still with the brakes, and shift to drive.
    6) Have patience and don't overdo this because you can cause transmission problems if you do it too much.
    7) Take a break if you're not making progress.
    8) Don't panic.
    9) Another very important rule is to keep your front wheels STRAIGHT. If the front wheels are turned even slightly, it's going to make it impossible to get traction.
    Keeping front wheels straight will give you maximum traction, which is already very little. The more your drive wheels spin, the less traction you're going have. Snow gives some traction. Wet snow less. Ice: zero.
    10) If you're going to have to wait it out in your car, do not keep the engine running constantly. Turn it on for 10 minutes with the heat on. Then turn off for 10 minutes. Keep a window cracked for fresh air. You don't want carbon monoxide to get into the car. It's an odorless gas that can kill you if it builds up in a closed vehicle.
    Be safe everyone. We'll get through this big snow if we use our brains, be patient and help each other.
    God bless.

She just got off work from a 24 hour shift after working a back to back shift at a hospital, dude. Give her a break. She probably had to travel less than 10 miles to her home. I know about all the stuff you are suppose to have in your car to survive. As a seasoned over the road truck driver with over 30 years of experience, I too say where is this & where is that. When I was out on the road I was prepared at all times to sit in the truck, with out outside resources for at least 2 weeks. I had my food, port-a-potty, all kinds of entertainment stuff such as Vue Cube Satellite TV which gave me wireless cable & internet. Needless to say, all I had to do was sit there. This nurse was trying to get home, after working an extra shift after the last shift of workers failed to show up. Please Featherybird, have a little compassion and give her a break. She is working in a hospital.

I once lived in Dallas and witnessed a dump truck filled with salt, and three guys in the back hand shovelling salt out the back and over the sides.

      We have seen this type of weather in Arkansas many times and how would you no you don't live here and some places got a little over 24 inches of snow here in Arkansas that's a lot anywhere and look it up Arkansas has seen bigger winter storms than this in years past I live in north Arkansas where we usually get snow several times a year we went through a bit of a snow drought in past few years but this years we have had several snows in northern Arkansas so what are you talking about but according to you we have never seen snow before yeah sure and it snows quite often in the mountains in Arkansas in the winter when it don't everywhere else in the southern part of the state it is a little more rare but yes we have all seen snow and extreme cold several times in Arkansas and the south look it up some of the major winter storms we have had in the past nothing new.

The city managers should have know it was coming & made better preparations for it. Tammy the ultimate responsibility on safe travel is the travelers themselves. If it is 27* outside & raining, you shouldn't need someone to tell you to watch out for ice. That should come natural. I do understand that you folks in Texas are not used to this type of weather. If you can not safely walk around outside, how are you suppose to drive in it. As an over the road truck driver, I have had many experiences with icy conditions. The best you can do if it is in the forecast is stay home. As you can see by the big accident on I-35, you can be safely stopped & sitting there & someone not paying attention to what's going on around them will come along and wham-O. Stay safe Tammy.

I never realized how many little things we/I do in the way of preparing until I read here of people in this situation that are not and why would you, like I have a snow blower that sits for years on end without enough snow to run it, they probably don't even sell them there,,and why would they.

    There seems to be a common question about plows/salt trucks, an answer: States that don't typically get snow, aren't going to buy plows or salt trucks and keep them in storage just for once in a every few years event. That would be like building homes to withstand hurricane speed winds in Michigan, it's not cost effective. Also often this equipment is bought by counties and not states, so areas with less population or lack of funds opt to not buy enough or at all.
