Ill own up to it, not properly caffenated. Still dont see how power flickers 12 hours in front of a storm is relevant. Fire awayhtxag09 said:Charlie Murphy said:Ill bite, how does your power "almost flicker"?Frok said:
Happy freeze day!
Already had my power flicker in the middle of the night.
Quoting something the poster didn't say. Interesting
Just posted to get the count to 667
Herzog posted this.....wow
Also the bays. Watch downwind from local bays. If anything forms offshore over the Gulf it’s coming for the oil rigs.

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.Cromagnum said:jrrhouston98 said:

Thats sketchy. The front is still about 4-5 hours from there.

Snow and freezing drizzle in North Texas.
Front is over performing
Can confirm. Snowing / freezing drizzle right now. Bottom fell out about an hour ago.
Starting to blow in Georgetown a bit.

Wanna know where Iam right now? 50 miles offshore.
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.jrrhouston98 said:

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.
yup, just walked outside pretty sure it's hereCromagnum said:

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!
I liberated some political signs from vacant lots to cover my plants. They work great.
it's what they would have wanted, for the greater good and all
My roses say, "Thanks, Governor Abbott."

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.
Specs in JV had a line to the back of the store
Hate to break this to you....but everywhere has some naturally occuring thing that F's the world up.plowboy1065 said:

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.plowboy1065 said:

Ohio Valley and broader NE getting it tomorrow/overnight tonight.
the boy just went out to pitch his lawnchair on the driveway
Key West at 83* sounds wonderful right about now.
This website is going to rival baseball-reference.com for time wasting for the next few days for me.Ezra Brooks said:Cool websitespadilly said:

We can probably change the thread title to coldpocalypse
