Tumbleweeds Make Winter Driving in Texas Much More Challenging Than in Vermont

It;'s supposed to snow a little here in Vermont tomorrow morning, and we might get several inches Friday. I'm not crazy about driving in the snow and ice, but it could be worse.  I found some videos of recent driving conditions in Texas, and I'll keep the snow and ice, please.

First video taken near Midland, Texas shows what happens when tumbleweeds accumulate far faster than any Vermont blizzard can pile up snow. Second video near Lubbock combines a dust storm and tumbleweeds for a truly fascinating but miserable time on the highway.  Check 'em out for an instructional on very challenging times on the roads:
