School was canceled due to the poor road conditions, so I had fun at home. My '94 ford ranger doesn’t traction control or winter tires, so I drifted around my front lawn.
You know you’re a true Texan when you mow your front lawn and you find your car.
I’m 20 miles south of Sherman TX and while I didn’t see nearly as much snow/ice as they did I did get a lovely stealth ice that coated my neighborhood. Temps got to 7-8°f I was prepared and we were comfortable. Until today I hadn’t heard of any busted pipes but my office and some other people have been flooded by them now lol.
People panic bought on the weekend which was fun to watch.
No precipitation to speak of so it wasn’t that bad. Nothing really closed down and the roads were good. Supposed to be 72 degrees (22c) tomorrow, thank fuck.
I’m just happy we didn’t lose power or water. Had to cancel some appointments because I didn’t want to risk driving even through there was barely any precipitation. Now I hope my car starts when I go out later.
Not too bad. We had a tiny bit of snow and some ice, but didn’t lose power which was nice since we have reptiles and I was not looking forward to trying to keep them alive.
I also got to stress test my Freeze Meisters (exterior faucet attachment that drips water), and thankfully they worked.
