Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

for some reason distilled water was on sale for the same price as regular water so picked up a gallon of that today, to build up
my water supply at home. And took a plastic bucket and filled that up with water in the tub.
I'm planning on my generator working when the ice knocks out the electricity so shouldn't be an issue.
But just in case Murphy arrives...

folks shopping in front of a snowstorm can get pretty antsy. I bought some blueberry muffin mix I needed and didn't dally.
Home to make up package for accountant and will drive it over to him when weather clears.

Rick, nice pic of the roads. Not something you see very much of I'm sure.

3.2M Texans out of power. 35 degrees below average temperature.

Yes that is exactly what I thought. It was so cold that I thought a big bird died in flight and crashed onto the roof.

Kyle the good news is Ron has closed the door. The temp has held at 18˚F for the last few hours so we are finished with the single digits. The wind has shifted and is coming from the SE. Also good news (for your kids) More snow predicted for tonight after midnight.


Also found this
"What happens is, during the cold winter months, wood trusses in your attic and/or on your outside deck contract and make a loud booming noise as they move. The same is true in the morning as they warm back up from the sun hitting the, they expand, making a loud boom or bang noise."

Hope your ceiling repairs didn't crack.

Good morning! 0 now, supposed to make it to 23 today. Snow in the forecast for tomorrow. 10 day forecast has some temperatures near 40.

rs - Betsy Kling is still on Cleveland TV? I watch 8, they seem to have decent weather forecast in the morning. And Melissa Mack in the evenings.....she gets into the weather forecast....quite entertaining.

Cleared the sidewalk with the shovel last evening. Didn稚 bother with anything else. It is crunchy when walking around with the snow over the ice. With the forecast, a lot will be gone next week.

Phones have been quiet at work...other than calls about auction machines :thumbdown: Billy Bob buys an auction special for just over scrap value, then wants tech help to fix it for free because they can稚 afford new parts that may not even be available anymore. And usually the machine is so old, no one was around when it was new, or in my case, have forgotten how it functioned. What a PIA.

Covid cases are way down locally and in the state.

Sounds like we are gonna gain a couple of emus for the flock. Wife has found someone locally that has a breeding pair and is likely gonna get some eggs to hatch. This should be interesting. Wonder how Oscar the Friendly Goose will handle competition?

Everyone that is dealing with power and heat issues, you are in my thoughts.

Everyone stay safe out there

You gonna name them Lemu and Doug?

Good morning, the temperature is -13°F and going to a high of 16. Wind S 2 mph. Sunny!

We are slowly climbing out of the deep freeze. By next Tuesday we could see above freezing temps.

Nothing is planned for today, so I will conserve energy.


Have a safe day all

I made a windshield for my old golf cart from water clear vinyl, it snapped on and was a tight fit. If it ever got a little dull I’d just go over it with my heat gun, carefully of course.

Great pic, Ron

Six breakfast links, three pieces of toast with butter, three jumbo eggs with Tabasco and a glass of OJ.

Layering up with the insulated Carharts and then headed out while the sun still shines ... :thumbsup:

Sad day. RIP Rush.

Yep. I was Director of Volunteer Security at the 1992 Republican Convention in the Houston Astrodome. I got to meet Rush and had two long conversations with him. He was extremely gracious and loved to just stop and chat with people .. making all feel very welcome.

He'll be missed.
