Thinking about memorable moments from Texas Furry Fiesta 2015, one of the big ones was the blanket of freeze that washed over Dallas the Sunday of the con--locking down the airport, making the roads all kinds of frightening, trapping attendees, merchants, and guests, and creating some really nice fursuiting weather :) This is one of the big stories we're going to include in the first "issue" of Furry Flashback--if you've got a memory of the Great Furry Freeze you want to share, please leave a comment. We'll include six or eight quotes from our members with the story, and build a photo gallery of The Big Freeze. Plus, memories :)

Oh man it was great fursuiting weather but trying to drive back home was a bit challenging, even after waiting a while for the ice on the roads to thaw some.
It was fun sliding around on top of the parking lot though~
The best memory that came from the great ice freeze was the group of gentlemen that were going around scraping ice and snow off people's car windows and mirrors.
I can't remember if they were part of staff or just other fellow stranded con members but they were such a big help! I would've been stuck there for several more hours if it weren't for them.
Especially since I was trying to use an old gift card to scrape the layer of ice off my windows.

The Ice Furpocolypse of 2015...also known as LOTS of wet dogs!
Because I live in the Dallas area, I was fairly close to home and didn't have to worry much about travel.
We left the con right after the dance competition in order to avoid the ice. What didn't we avoid?
Rain.
Lots of rain.
Toting several tons of fursuits and luggage to cars while buckets and buckets of water were pouring all
over everything would definitely have been a miserable experience, if it hadn't been for two generous
con guests wielding umbrellas! While people's paws got a bit of water sloshed on them, the damage
could've been a whole lot worse if those two hadn't come along! They saved my fursuit and a huge box
of art supplies from what could've been really bad water damage!
