I know if it's half as bad here in central Texas I can only imagine what it's like up north 
Ground is still a little too warm for it to fully stay on the driveway/street,but the yard totally is frozen too.
This all happened in a matter of 2 hours.
Steadly sleeting and getting harder.

We'll be ready for tomorrow, I'm going to bring all my camping gear which includes a camp stove and latern and a really nice Army Issue polar sleeping bag system. We'll be down there around 9 or 10 Saturday night, i'll be in touch with you Jeff for exact directions. Oh, I hope someone is bringing lots of fire wood or I'll have to get creative and find things to burn for warmth and I don't think we all want that!

Glad I don't have rear seats, not sure what I would do if I still had them in there.
All packed/everything in the Navajo, except for the cooler, then get ice, and our journey begins

Speaking of firewood.... I haven't been able to find anything, short of going to Wal-Mart and buying some (if they have any left.... Houstonians go nuts when they get to burn a fire in the fireplace). Anybody have any ideas?

We need firewood, it's not camping with out a fire. I'm going to keep my eyes open and see if i can't find some somewhere and bring it along. If everyone bring some we'd be set and we could get a bonfire. I want to find some pallets, if I do I'm so strapping them to the roof and bringing them!

You got a pickup you are required to bring firewood!
Seriously though, if you buy some firewood I'd be more than willing to throw in money for the wood.
