Temps been averaging 5 to 7 degrees lower than forecast in areas. Pretty much what the ICON has been forecasting

Happy freeze day!

Already had my power flicker in the middle of the night.


Ill bite, how does your power "almost flicker"?

Quoting something the poster didn't say. Interesting
Ill own up to it, not properly caffenated. Still dont see how power flickers 12 hours in front of a storm is relevant. Fire away

Buddy says he's lost power in Pearland.

Thats sketchy. The front is still about 4-5 hours from there.
I built a house in Shadow Creek Ranch in Pearland in 2008. Lived there about 10 years and we lost power all the damn time for seemingly no reason. Moved to innner city Houston and rarely lose power now, including during Harvey and the '21 freeze.

Snow and freezing drizzle in North Texas.

Can confirm. Snowing / freezing drizzle right now. Bottom fell out about an hour ago.

100% chance it's an issue locally with infrastructure. Hopefully your buddy is not a complete dumbass and able to differentiate the difference between that and the grid. Do you know if he had a Beta sign up in his yard? That would help.

Just took a walk around my neighborhood, an older neighborhood by the way, and shocked to see 4-7 houses out of around 60, still with water hoses connected and maybe only 60% with outside faucets covered.

Maybe they have their water off already?

You're giving them too much credit. Probably lazies who can't be bothered to prepare.

You would be surprised how many people are oblivious to what's going on in the world

I didn't keep an exact count but shocked not more (and in my mind it should be every house) were covered.

Fairly certain it's typical of the area. And definitely no Beta sign!

Winds just went from the WSW to NW.

Those apps are delayed on temps.

Wundermap is up to the minute. Zoom in and you can click on each stations graph and see exactly where the temps have dropped already.

Houston is truly the laughing stock of the nation. No sleet snow or ice and the city is going to shut down due to cold temps. You can't even think about getting into the HEB in Fairfield right now

Insane that there are Eastern and Western walls keeping the cold funneling here -- it's almost 60 degrees in Albuquerque. 40's in Utah. Above freezing in Michigan and Ohio.

Hate to break this to you....but everywhere has some naturally occuring thing that F's the world up.

Down here, ice is bad juju because we rarely see it and nobody really is prepared to handle it well for any significant amount of time.

Go up north and a 90 degree summer kills people.

Go to Phoenix and see what a 1" rain event does to the town. It shuts it down like ice does here.

It's also 3 days before Christmas. HEB is Fairfield would be a s-show no matter what.

This website is going to rival baseball-reference.com for time wasting for the next few days for me.
