  1. looks like they are way behind schedule ap youtube feed of maranatha church: broadcast c-span showing Air Force 1 on the ground at Fort Moore Lawson Field 1 hour 6 minutes per goog https://maps.app.goo.gl/9Ft4GnWpAnAkWbcH9
  2. the pat persona bitching about not getting in in 2020: One of the most controversial times in recent Texas A&M football history was the CFP selection process in 2020. The Aggies, bearing only one loss at the time while boasting a top-5 win over Florida and double-digit wins in every game but three, looked like the model college football playoff participant. In fact, Jimbo Fisher took the opportunity following the Aggies' final game of the year to stump for A&M. As he mentioned, no one-loss SEC team had ever been left out of the playoff— even those that didn't participate in the SEC championship game. And with an all-SEC schedule that year, A&M's slate had been tougher than ever. But a strange thing happened. The CFP committee put in Notre Dame, who had just been waxed by a full-strength Clemson Tigers team, over the Aggies. ND had won at home against Clemson earlier in the year when DJ Uiagalelei had been starting for Dabo Swinney's squad, but once Trevor Lawrence returned, the game between the Irish and Tigers was no contest. Aggie fans, at that point, cried discrimination— A&M's record recommended the Aggies far more than the Irish's record recommended them. Yet, it was ND who made the playoff— and they were destroyed by Alabama. In the profit-driven world of college football, it's hard not to become cynical about that kind of thing. Notre Dame was less deserving, but considered by some to be a better TV draw. With that in mind, is it any coincidence that they were put in over the Aggies? You may say so, but I'd challenge anyone to watch this clip of Kirk Herbstreit and continue in that line of thought. narrator: bama destroyed aggy 52-24
  3. cspan1 on broadcast carried the Air Force 1 takeoff from Andrews but cut away as it banked west for the circling of the mall, capitol, monument, memorial & house no other broadcast channel even carried the takeoff we better get the missing man flyover ~345 central in plains
  4. txdot camera map https://its.txdot.gov/its/District/DAL/map
  5. 35w in ft.worth just south of i20 no issues
  6. i35 in desoto is wet but moving
  7. ignore this 161 doesn't connect to 287 360 connects to 287 all precip falling at that junction is wet but there is no traffic at all
  8. for those with any of the toll badges, 287 to 161 from either austin or houston would be my #1 play the ntta system will be the safest roads in the metroplex
  9. double-edged sword: above freezing downtown fort worth will be sanded out the gazoo, and the north 35 to east 30 ramp is only elevated for 300 feet: all else equal, your route backtracks and is not 1 of the 3 google suggestions.... that said it could be the best play - who knows as the situation changes from hour to hour it's all about what google traffic is showing in realtime having every cell in your vehicle loaded with google turn-by-turn for a different route is the way to go... you will get a "recalculating" message if that route craters
  10. @The Golden Hat i had not looked at the radar in an hour.... by the time you get to hillsboro a winter mix blob is likely to have moved over i35 current temps: hillsboro 35f,, wax 32f, cleburne 33f consider this in your decision - you may be down to 30mph from the split, i.e. 2+ hours to i20
  11. anyone who has that option, it might be a cunning plan right now it looks like 75mph is in play well past the split and i'm guessing very little traffic
  12. excellent summary which i agree with, tl/dr: +++ Overall, climate change may be contributing to the fire danger of this event, but only if the warming/drying influence outweighs the potential reduction in Santa Ana winds. To me, that means climate change does not deserve primary billing (e.g., https://x.com/dwallacewells/status/1877030739344081343) Fire suppression and the long-term build-up of fuels are not as much of an issue in the Southern California brush environment as they are in the Northern CA Forests, but our machine-learning wildfire intensity model indicates that fuel treatment would still reduce danger substantially. Other than that, the main way these types of events can be mitigated in the future is via reduced human ignitions, potentially increased firefighting resources, and enhanced “home hardening” measures within fire-prone communities.
  13. kxas temperature forecast - exact location unknown - assuming this is DFW Airport - it *should* be at least 1 or 2 degrees warmer on all ingress roadways ennis is the diversion point for the 3 ingress routings
  14. here's the options from houston - again 3 almost equal in distance/time as of this moment, tomorrow at 2pm they could vary
  15. target: tailgate the best thing you can do tomorrow is have a competent shotgun google map analyst, either in the vehicle with you, or remote on hands free device someone not driving should be monitoring the freeze line, road status (black/red/yellow/green) and the surl for real-time reports in this thread this cap shows 3 different routes from the i35 split to the tailgate location at 816 North Collins 76011 i have comments about each of these routes but will hold off until later this afternoon as we see how the day plays out
  16. fort worth slowing down ignore all of the red - that's construction closures - all main lanes are "open"
  17. google traffic is the best road condition indicator see the mirror of yellow in the google cap with the current temp map
  18. i watched the precip roll over nortex at 6am winter mix reached as far south as the i35 split, then was followed up with rain based on the traffic flow it didn't glaze
  19. my apologies for taking the comedy angle when this thread started
  20. i am totally lost panama and greenland discussion = political what the fuck

  22. no direct link to the current kxas forecast video but it's on this page: https://www.nbcdfw.com/weather/ i trust this guy he is great in tornado situations for thursday and friday he essentially confirms the kxan take from mid-afternoon although the kxas radar forecast stops thursday night at 6
  23. another 48-hour delay 3-hour window opens 23:59pm central thursday night +++ If all goes according to plan, New Glenn will lift off for the first time on Friday (Jan. 10) from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, during a three-hour window that opens at 1 a.m. EST (0600 GMT). "This is our first flight and we’ve prepared rigorously for it," Blue Origin's Jarrett Jones, SVP, New Glenn, said in a Monday evening (Jan. 6) statement that announced the target launch date. "But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations are a replacement for flying this rocket. It’s time to fly. No matter what happens, we’ll learn, refine and apply that knowledge to our next launch."
  24. i was just going to ask.... about the israel-hamas thread in dt in the same news conference today on foreign policy topics that discussed greenland and panama, the statement was made that the hostages held by hamas have to be released before the innauguration.... or else now, if someone copies the words spoken verbatim and without comment pastes them in the dt israel-hamas thread, does that require the move of that thread to cr?
