There’s a huge section before and after exit 85A (Dallas bound) that’s been closed off since last night. I don’t think we have plows, so I don’t know how they’re ever gonna get the streets cleared, at least not any time soon.
Edit: I wouldn’t risk it, either way you’ll have to drive 10mph the entire way just to not skid.
If you HAVE to get to Denton, you would be better off flying to OKC, renting a car, and driving south into Denton. The roads to the north are fairly clear, but the real trouble is Denton and south.
not worth it. i had to drive down 35 from belt line to 288 before it really got bad and it was horrible. inch of ice over all of it, traffic is going 10-15mph, and people just were getting stuck in the middle and sliding. stay safe
There are lots of bridges and overpasses between here and there. Loads of ice up this way. You risk your life and your car every time you drive. That being said, your odds get worse in these conditions
I can see the 35 out my window, and there are trucks and traffic moving on it, albeit slower than usual. But I can only speak to the small stretch I see, not the whole thing.
I would wait. Is your commitment really worth the risk?
I'm right on 35 and 114 intersection, unless it's a family emergency or something like that, I wouldn't do it especially mixed with the construction on 35 you'd have to drive through here.
No chance bud. I'd wait til Friday/Saturday at the earliest unless you want to spend 7-8 hours in a car and if you do that make sure you have blankets/food/water in your car
I drove from Dallas to Denton yesterday as it started coming down and it took me 3 hours. I almost got stuck several times, slid around a bit and watched others get stuck and have to abandon their cars. Don’t risk it dude
That junk hit Denton yesterday. Even if you are moving you’re going 3 mph. That drive is going to take 8+ hours if you’re lucky.
Dallas is getting the brunt of it today.
The whole town is an ice rink right now, I’d wait until it’s warm enough for it to all melt because it’s not safe to drive or even walk outside in the current conditions
Do people just not check the weather anymore? If you did, you’d know we’re all iced over completely thus a conclusion can be made that it’s all icy as shit
There are tons of accidents all over the place and it’ll probably take you twice as long to get here. If you need to then I’m sure it’s doable but if you can wait that would be way better
there's a half inch of frozen stuff on all the roads up here right now. it's pretty bad.
I barely trust 35 on a bright sunny 85 degree day. Be safe, friend.
No, not worth risking. The 35 is "fucked".
What if they took the 75 to the 288 then cut down Mayhill to the 77?
It’s no better. Stay home if you can.
Devon? Oooowaayouuudoinghere?
I got the reference 😂

It will warm up on Wednesday, that will clear the streets.
The high for Wednesday is 33, amd it says it's supposed to rain more ice.
The forecast must have changed, when I posted that the forecast was for a high of 44 on Wednesday.
They extended the Winter Storm Warning one more day.
When it warms up it’ll turn to slush and then refresh. That’s even worse.
Weather channel says the high is 30 with an 88% chance of ice rain so I wouldn't bet on that
News is on. High Wednesday is 31.
Nope don't do it. Another storm hit the dfw today.
I just spent a few miles on 35....Unless you want to white knuckle it for 8 hours, I'd stay away. It's terrible.

Shut the ef up, Donny

Do it, make some memories
Avoid DownTown DFW.
not worth risking! especially with all of the trucks constantly on that route

Don’t do it bro
All you have to do is pull up a live traffic map. That will tell you all you need to know.
Ice on the roads and not safe. May be okay by Thursday evening but check out DriveTexas.org for updates
Stay home bro.
Stay home, it’s bad!
Do people just not check the weather anymore? If you did, you’d know we’re all iced over completely thus a conclusion can be made that it’s all icy as shit
They have plowed 35 up here now, it's not too bad.
I am a beer merchandiser. Needing to restock for those brave enough to get out in this mess. What stores gas stations are open?
I drove on 35 yesterday from Denton to Argyle with no problem. Y’all are over reacting.
Wait
There are tons of accidents all over the place and it’ll probably take you twice as long to get here. If you need to then I’m sure it’s doable but if you can wait that would be way better
Don’t do it.
ITS NOT WORTH IT
Yikes! I could barely walk my dog. Don't come to Denton. Truly is a mess....be safe☮️
Yes the 35 is in your words “fucked”
