Snow, cold make Dallas feel more like Green Bay
A fresh blast of snow and ice canceled hundreds of flights Friday, transformed highways into ribbons of white. Football fans whose flights had been canceled struggled Saturday to get to Dallas for Sunday's championship game, while those already in town for the Super Bowl were contending with temperatures and snow typical of Pittsburgh and Green Bay but unusual in Texas.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area received as much as 5 inches (13 centimeters) of snow overnight - nearly twice its annual average. The temperature in Dallas on Friday stood at 20 F (-6 C) - the same as Pittsburgh. Green Bay was slightly colder at 17 F (-8 C).
The blizzard attack has paralyzed half of the United States and causing economy activities to be delayed due to flights being canceled. 49 out of the 50 states currently have snow on the ground – yes, even Hawaii. The only state that has avoided this icy blast is Florida. The snow and cold started early this winter and has been extreme for most of the country. Guess Obama is praying hard for spring to come as soon as possible.
