Demand leveling out, as people settle in for bed. Plenty of surplus 20k mW avaliable with 8k mW in reserve as of right now

Tree down, or drunk rolled a poll. Ain't because of the grid. Good news is everyone is on call. Hopefully they get power back soon

Freeze Misers are working like champs! It is oddly captivating watching them start dripping, then slowly stop, then star again a little later.

I have talked to multiple people who are choosing to shut off their water main and go without running water for three days despite being home the entire time rather than just drip faucets. What???

I'm seeing 13 degrees with 20 mph wind here on NE side at 6 a.m. Holy Satsumas, that's cold.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Trending 5 degrees colder than forecast. I'm expecting 17 or 16 here in Seabrook

My outside remote temp sensor is - -. I replaced the batteries this week. Even that POS can't handle the Houston Cold (said no one ever).

I did drip my two garage faucets, not sure if the RO filter out there will make it.

Expecting to lose water to our subdivision sometime overnight. Dumbasses in charge of our community well were oblivious that cold weather was coming today and they never winterized the system since 2021.

Happened to wake up at 5 AM and decided to take a lap around the house and step outside.

Two of my faucets had stopped dripping, guess I didn't set them aggressively enough. Once I had cleared the volume of water inside the house line (I'm guessing) that was some of the coldest water from the tap I've ever felt

17 degrees here in memorial.

Havent walked outside but i dont see river flowing down my drive so hopefully no pipe breaking.

I am drained all the pipes last night though.

Was really nice to go to sleep last night and not stress about pipe breaking like i did in 2021.

Don't understand all the crapping on draining pipes, its not that big of a deal going without water for day and half.

I don't mind the cold. Not overly concerned about it (no olds or kids here).

But I just don't want the lack of heat to exacerbate an issue with frozen pipes in some way. We left our cabinet doors open below the sinks and dripped them, but we'll see. And I don't want the repair bill either.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this weather bc I have power (and generator worked for the 1 hour power delay we had)

Totally different than the Great Freeze of 21

Pier & beam house. Dripping failed in URI, so we drained on advice from plumber a few doors down.

Turned off last night, may turn on this afternoon, worse case scenario it'a noon tomorrow. So maybe 12 hours in the house with no water. Hardly the end of the world
