Good morning!!!!

Son got to try out the snow

you need to put a skid under the front tire. Wait a minute, Isn't that the kid with covid playing in the snow?

Snow for flushing - I did not think of that I have hundreds of gallons of snow for the next week. Thanks.

People here are using snow for drinking water.

Kid is asymptomatic....had headache and sore throat initially, now fine. Dad out splitting wood with him and daughter.

Yeah...desperate. Is why I said get as much out of the water system when available. Snow in ground contact...should be boiled. But I get it.

30°, which is lower than the AM temp. Weather station Says it hit 48°, but I never saw it. Cold wind on way home, blowing car all over the road.

18˚F

I did not go in the attic, but looking on top of the roof nothing looks amiss. So I don't know. One day in the future I'll find something.

Power went off 1.25 hour ago. Finish shoveling snow off the driveway. The road are reported passable but there is no where to go. Only one grocery store is open (HEB) and reports say there is a line 200 people long to get inside. We have enough food for another week or longer.

Lost internet also for a while but after 2.25 hours we now have power and the internet is back up. Need to eat and shower before we loose it again. House only got to 60˚F so not bad at all.

Some houses 'boom' when the temp gets really low. The house I grew up in did. The house we live in now does. Sounds like something falling on the roof...

BOOM!

I keep at least a dozen gallons of water on hand for flushing, etc, several cases of drinking water, and now I keep a couple cases of TP in stock. What I’m short on now is gas for the generator. But we aren’t supposed to get that cold.

I do have an old wood stove, and I have some firewood. I don’t have a chimney, but in an emergency I do have some stove pipe and I could probably rig something thru the basement window. I need to put up a chimney so I’m ready for an emergency.
I also have saws, fuel and trees.
