One person killed in accident near Buda
Tuesday, January 16, 2007, 08:33 AM
Authorities are on the scene of a fatal accident this morning on Interstate 35 south near Buda (map) Hays County, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
The accident involved two 18-wheelers and a passenger car, officials said.
The highway has been reduced to one lane.
Officials said the interstate is backed up to Slaughter Lane and that cars are beginning to get stuck in the ice and unable to move.

I guess I'm one step behind you double D ... I would take sleet over this freezing rain! I'm concerned that if we get too much more freezing rain, the major tree limbs will start crashing down and power outages will expand dramatically.
See that batch on radar and looks heavy out there (and heading our way).
EDIT/UPDATE: It now appears to be sleeting outside here as well, as of 9:30 a.m. Interesting.

I hadn't seen this... wow... It is really seeming like winter for a change in TEXAS.
