Cars in Arlington were covered with a thin sheet of light snow on Monday morning. The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday meant a lot of people who would be on the road going to work, stayed home instead.
Interstate 20 had a dusting of snow and holiday-light traffic. There were no signs of slick roadways, but highway signs warned conditions could change.
"As soon as I looked out the window, I knew I gotta go to work," Joesph Kizler said.
Kizler is a maintenance supervisor at Arlington Highlands Shopping Mall.

"Most people would be like, 'Snow day, I'm staying home. Yay!'" Kinzler said.
As Kizler drove a golf cart around the mostly empty lot spreading blue pellets of Ice Melt, Javier Rodriguez and a friend rode their ATVs around the lot doing donuts.
"This is the one time, once a year, so might as well take advantage," Rodriguez said. "You know, have fun out here!"
