Typical Dallas winters are cold, but rarely with snow and sleet. The average Dallas snow lasts one day, maybe two a year. And that is typically a light blanket of snow, hardly enough to even make a snowman. The past two years have been the worst weather I can remember out here since the early 80s. Growing up in the area, we were LUCKY to get one day out of school due to inclement weather. Four days like this week is a complete anomaly and proof that God hates Jerry Jones.

Times aren't looking good for Dallas. First they lose their chance for a Super Bowl in their own brand spanking new multi-billion dollar stadium, then they lose the Super Bowl for good because of failure to get accumulated ice off the dome ahead of time. This lesson should've been learned from the collapse of that stadium roof up north just a couple of months ago.

Getting rid of the ice was about as hard as deicing an airplane.
All his posts are identical - spamming/cross posting. I think there is something in the TOS about that.

x1000. Then the runoff would turn Johnson Creek into Love Canal.

It historically snows plenty to do that. Any snow just doesn't stay beyond a couple of days.

When I went to high school in DFW, we had at least one day of no school each year because of the weather.

Any way, I'm sure by then, the owners will be ready to go to nice warm places to have their big party.
If this is completely true, your statement that there are 32 cities competing isn't. There aren't 32 warm places with NFL teams. That makes Dallas's chance better since atleast we have a chance of being warm (or atleast not 100% certain for snow/ice/freezing weather)

A free yacht for a week would do it for me!
