I tried to get to the bottom of that in the comments (maybe a blind rise?), but that was a twitterverse ####show. Five deaths, and cars piled on top of semis. Wild.
About 10ish years ago I worked with a guy who went down to Houston for a sales trip and they had a little snow fall while he was there. He was telling me how crazy it got during this "storm". There was enough snow to just coat things, you could still see the grass through it, but it was enough to send the city into chaos. Cars were sliding all over the roads, people were scared to go out etc. He said the main reason was because they were not used to this so many people had next to bald tires and the little bit of snow was enough to cause havok. Just crazy from our perspective but that's Texas.
