Just drove from downtown Dallas back to Flower Mound. Steady rain, heavy at times, while I was driving through Irving and past Grapevine Mills. My car's outdoor thermometer registered 31 degrees while driving into Flower Mound. Don't know if that thermometer is totally accurate, though usually it's biased on the high side by a degree or two. I was constantly looking for any sign of ice -- a glossy road surface, or chunks forming in puddles. But I saw none. It was more dangerous driving through the puddles that would appear here and there.

At home, we got another quarter-inch of rain, which puts us now near 3 inches for the weekend.

Thanks for the updates. I travel 635 west from MacArthur to Freeport to work. Whether or not that will be possible on Monday is still to be determined. The blogs have been a great source of information.

All this rain sitting on the roads up here in Denton is going to be a slippery mess come tomorrow morning.

Howdy! First off, I'm not the FOX 4 traffic guy. That's Waggoner. I'm the "other Chip" and I’m the managing editor of this world’s-finest newsroom. One of my responsibilities is to manage this website, so I’d love to hear your comments. Outside of work, I’m on the board of directors of Radio Television News Directors Association, the leading organization of TV/radio/online journalists in the world. One of the Top 5 highlights of my life will come when the Texas Rangers win a World Series. My wife is also in TV News, and we've got two great kids. This photo is me in front of a mountain glacier at the Columbia Icefields in Alberta, Canada. How to tell Chip Waggoner and me apart? We're both good-looking, but he's a Frog and I'm a Mustang, and that's all you need to know about that!
