Had dust storm here Saturday afternoon, and it was windy all night and yesterday, supposed to be windy again on Wednesday and only upper 60's-low 70's all week. This $hit sucks. :pissed

We are trapped on Padre Island after 6 hours of freezing rain and a little snow on top of that. It's supposed to get down to 16 tonight. The snow is no big deal but the ice makes it impossible to go anywhere.  :cold The bridge was shut down last night and should reopen tomorrow.

Thanks Art. :good A lot of people are without power but we never lost it. We have a generator and firewood just in case. It seems the windmills and solar panels don't work in the snow.  :laugh

Hear the same.  Couldn't imagine dealing with that. They were telling people here to lower their gas usage as much as possible. Lower t-stat, don't use outdoor gas fire pits ect. to help with the mass usage for the folks in the cold.

Talking 80's here next week   :D  :good


:laugh  :laugh

Even as far south as our island. Many of our neighbors are still without power and most homes are all electric. We lost water 2 days ago for around 8 hours then, again, yesterday for around 12 hours. I finally made it to work yesterday but my store didn't have water either.

I'm going to work today but it will freeze, again, tonight so our bridge will get shut down again. I might miss work tomorrow.

Damn that sucks, I heard now that all this crap is supposed to be over with over the weekend and warm back up in the 70's, I suppose now you'll have issues with flooding? :stupid
