Weather Update

After face planting in the front yard a few days ago when the cane and I got tangled up, I made a point not to get beyond the dry porch late today when Scott took stuff out to the bins. It was incredibly cold.

Currently, as of 8 PM, we are at 19 at DFW Airport and they say we bottom out at 12. Even though the faucets are on interior walls, I have them open and dribbling so I can hear the money going right down the sinks. As Scott keeps pointing out, it beats a flood and a plumber.

We have power and are very glad about that. Everything is ice covered due to all the sleet. Guessing at this point, we have at least two inches of ice due to all the sleet. Could easily be more. Lot more sleet is inbound tonight.

No pics as I was focused on not falling on the porch. Maybe pics tomorrow.

Update

The flickering with the power seems to have mostly subsided. We got out a little while ago and got down to our local Kroger which was packed. Looked like the aftermath of an ice storm as around half of the shelves in the meat, dairy, and frozen foods were empty with other empty shelves scattered throughout the place. 

Forecast is for isolated storms this weekend. As always, any story can be severe. 

Numerous trees remain heavily damaged, many are down, and a lot of power lines seem to have come lower than they were. At least we can get out of the neighborhood now. 

Use Your Power Wisely
