    One word.

    Texas. Roadhouse.

    All kidding aside, Any idea where you are staying? That might help us narrow it down a bit.

    Richardson has a very heavy asian population so you can’t go wrong with a lot of the Asian food options in strip malls. Cattleack BBQ open Wed-Sat from 10-2, generally a line and they sell out. Addison has a lot of good options which is really close. As far as specifics, I am so far removed from hitting restaurants all the time that I have no list.

    Loro in Addison is solid. Hutchins if you’re looking for traditional BBQ

    Honestly should look into a Stars game. Mavs games are fun, but Stars games are more fun.

    My weather app is predicting 17” of snow next Monday. Is this real? We are going to have a blast for about 3 hours and then we are all going to die.

    Ercot death. Driving death. Houses on fire because people are cold. Stranded in car in ditch overnight and freeze to death, death. All possibilities are coming into play with this one if the forecast holds up.

    Weather Underground and Weather Channel both say snow. I am very not convinced we will get 17” or 15” or even 6”. Just saying it is being forecasted by some models.

    Do you understand what 17” of snow is, because I sure as hell don’t but that sounds outrageous for one day.

    (could a decimal be missing in either spot?)

    It's a lot

    I had to explain to a coworker from up north today, that if this happens at all on Monday, they should not attempt to come to Dallas until Wednesday at the earliest. They looked at me like I was crazy.

    My brother lives outside Nashville and has this happen at least once per winter. He uses a hair dryer to thaw it out

    not venturing on the roads but from what I can tell from my front porch we didn’t get ice but a nice covering of fresh powder. May hit the slopes later
