Ice and Snow Descend on Dallas-Fort Worth

Posted by Picasa
On Tuesday, February 1, rainfall froze into a thick sheet of ice across the Metroplex, making transportation of any type hazardous. Sub-freezing weather lasted until Friday morning when several inches of snow fell to cover the ice. Over the weekend most of the ice melted -- but it left damaged ceiling tiles, chair and carpet in the Medical Library. Super Bowl Sunday (hosted at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington!) was thankfully a beautiful sunny day, but a repeat ice event caused problems the following Wednesday morning. Luckily that time there was no additional water damage.
