Lots of SNOW for Ohio State-Texas?

being from niagara falls seeing all this 5" is shutting down the city is wild...

Yeah, it does seem a bit bizarre to those of us from wintery-snowy states but understanadbale because they usually don't get the white stuff like we do (a lot!) and so don't have the manpower, machinery or budgets to handle it like we do.....let alone their drivers not having the experience in dealing with it.

But most the issue will be Thursday and Friday morning...

From what I am reading the impact should be very minor by late Friday afternoon in the DFW region because the temps are expected to rise to near 40 and melt away most of it anyway.

 Another thing the Cowboys don't have to worry about. 

Eddie, it’s not the snow shutting things down it’s the danger of ice. A couple things you all up north have vehicles with chains on your tires. We don’t have chains on our tires. Second you guys get snow over the ice which allows better traction. Here it’s just ice not much snow of any. You can even see how it shines and glistens at nighttime with the street lights. Very different weather here that’s why it’s so much more dangerous not to mention the rain that falls during the day freezes at nighttime when temperatures fall. Up there it’s already freezing during the daytime hours. 

This is rare for Texas...Sure, we have sanding trucks, but people are idiots when they drive...And as someone pointed out, driving in snow conditions can be reasonable if you are careful...Ice and raining that freezes when it hits the pavement is another store...The Northern US dedicates more resources to fight inclimate weather impact on road conditions than we do down here...

What are you saying, Wolfeman?   Your post is composed of inchoherent gibberish and ambiguity...Perhaps its time to put down the bottle and/or crack pipe, and walk away slowly...

Awesome thread Rockfish ...............

METROPLEX BRACES FOR ARCTIC BLAST!!!!!

Stores are packed, as people stock up - preparing for the worst!  Only the strong will survive!!!!!

Meanwhile, it's clear / 40 degrees / not a cloud in the sky.  Might get down to 31/32 - 0.1 inch of ice/snow expected tomorrow - stay home folks!

This one might get canceled !!

Yeah, up in Michigan we have tire chains, seasoned drivers, and that snow for "traction". 

Good points.

@JimboSlice01

 Ohio State fans will WALK to Dallas in 3 feet of snow to see the Buckeyes. 

They'll be there. 

I don’t think so it’s suppose to be treacherous conditions tomorrow in north Texas. I heard on the news the fans are already flooding the resale markets trying to sell their tickets. 

No snow on the ground....green grass and frozen....been so dry this year since last winter

Temperature right now > I put the settings on F degrees > https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/city/ca/ontario/campbellville/hourly  << was just looking at the weather for horse racing tomorrow night so easy to post that for you to see 

this x 10000.  the biggest issue here is that dumb people here think they can drive on ice because they have a truck/suv...and then realize far too late that it doesnt work like that.  tons of accidents. 

i havent looked at the forecast recently.  looked like Friday noon time things warm up enough to make it OK for people driving but that may be tough for everyone.

@buffer

 It was more or less a joke. 

That being said, tOSU fans are a big fan base spread across the country.  

@LonghornHoosier

 i highly doubt 3-6 inches of snow will impact the attendance of this game 

@JimboSlice01

 I live in Dallas, we already got 6 inches today, and supposed to get much worse overnight and tomorrow morning. I wouldn't be surprised if it does get postponed.  The Super Bowl they played here back in 2011, I believe, in the midst of a similar snow/ice storm was a complete disaster.

snow might be ok?  ice is not.  Texans cannot drive in that kind of weather.  It'll be a disaster.

But it should warm up Friday afternoon (good!) but then a hard freeze Friday night (bad! because all that thawed snow is gonna turn to ice)

Will be interesting for sure.  I dont think they want to postpone the game to early Saturday but putting thousands of lives at risk isnt that great either.

I dunno.  Maybe Dallas has a genius plan up their sleeve.  Texas, in general, shuts down when the weather gets this bad

@charlielo55

 ..the media ripped the whole city for that ice storm and lack of preparedness.

I’m still trying to figure out how you put the damn chains on the tires 

@charlielo55

 The disaster happened when Mendenhall fumbled in that Super Bowl 

My friends, I got time for one last story for you before we have to leave tonight. You see, if you ever been in the Rocky Mountains after the wind comes up and the sun goes down, you can find yourself in a whole lot of trouble, people. But what you've gotta do is: keep yourself together; keep everybody warm; and always remember to keep ridin' the storm out, people! Come on with us one more time! (que: Moog synthesizer)

Expect this one to be played with the roof open in a blizzard, and expect the conditions to be much like the Snow Bowl (Ohio Stadium, 1950). Like that game, they'll likely have a tarp over the field that undoubtedly will become frozen to the artificial surface. And similarly, they'll be so much snow packed on top of that tarp, they'll just leave it...playing the game with the tarp still on the field, but deeply buried. Expect temperatures to barely rise above single digits, with the wind chill below zero. Broadcasters won't be able to see out of the press box windows, and can only hope that they can slide one of the windows so they can see down on the field. Sportsbooks are now releasing bet specials...one book has the over/under on total punts for in the game set at 42.5. Another has an offensive TD's scored total set at 1/2, with the under heavily juiced at -170. I can only think that -170 ends up around -225, and I may be grossly underestimating the horrific weather conditions that will wreak havoc in Arlington tomorrow.

@LonghornHoosier

 You said “I predict that it will be less half filled” 

 And I’m the one smoking crack? 

just simply a stupid prediction…it will be sold out silly.  

The good Lord made me revisit this post!

Traveled through the Texas panhandle on I-40 Wednesday morning. Overnite icey rain. From Shamrock to Amirillo was a freaking mess! Semi's flipped everywhere. 

Yes, that Texas ice is different, it fools ya. Fooled a lot of truck drivers. I got through it, puckered azz and all.
