Back on New Year's Eve in 1978  West and North Texas and Oklahoma had a major ice storm that came within an ace of blacking out both states. During the evening of December 30, an ice storm started that eventually deposited almost 2" of ice. I was in Childress for a wedding that evening and when I woke up on the 31st, I looked outside to almost a half inch of ice on my car. My girlfriend and I immediately got dressed, packed up and started driving towards Dallas. It took over 4 hours to get past the ice line just a few miles east of Bowie. It did take out one transmission line and natural gas curtailments to several plants almost took them out too, but they had enough fuel oil to just get them through it. The very next year, teh PUC in their idiocy forced all the utilities to reduce their fuel oil storage to make it look like the PUC was saving the ratepayers money.
