I guess with 6 rolling blackouts and counting, Texas is in an emergency power situation.

EDIT: 7th rolling blackout 628a to 639a. Read this may happen through Tuesday. My wife works from home and won't be able to do what she does if there's blackouts every half hour or so.

@livegolf Have they hit you over in Big D?

EDIT: 8th rolling blackout. Seeing some people in Houston have been out completely since 2am. 5 hours without power there. At least it's not quite as cold there.

Toulon Yes sir. I woke up nice and toasty. Now... I'd just like 15 minutes for another cup of hot coffee

CallMeAl

Another 5"-9" predicted......

Thats what she said!

I woke up to zero degrees and a couple of inches of snow with more on the way.

Global warming stopped in just 3 weeks. Amazing!

I hate to repeat myself (not really). Rookies!

Already up to -4 here. Gonna be a scorcher....sun is out!

Strangely enough it is missing us up here in the snow belt and supposed to be in the mid 20's today.

meagain Don't know how you pulled that one off. 9 degrees in Memphis right now with a projected high of 14 and low of 4 Fahrenheit. Least we get to stay on the right side of zero. Snow for the next few hours. Supposed to get 3 - 6 inches. 6 inches of snow is basically a once every 10 year event for us and the temps. may be about a one in every 25 - 50 year event for us. I can only remember it being close to this cold twice in my life for this area.

Guess I won't be using my plow. Damn it!

25* right now in western NY but we're also expecting 7 - 14" of snow over the next 24 - 36 hrs .... we accept it and so we deal with it. Rather have this amount of snow than 1/10" of ice

meagain

bogeypro Where are you at in NY?

bogeypro

Amherst, a suburb north and a bit east of Buffalo

meagain

I'm 30 miles south of Erie,Pa.

Back in the 80's went to many car shows / swap meets in Presque Isle, I think that's approx in that area

Almost have a white-out going now. Nothing sticking to the things above ground due to the heavy coat of ice on them from the freezing rain we had last week.

Had a little sun and melted off the little bit of snow I had on my driveway.

Par4QC Had one over in Iowa the other day. Even smashed a Trooper's car.

That's a fairly common occurrence. It's amazing when a troopers car is all lit up with various color flashing lights someone can run into it because they were gawking at an accident scene. I remember several similar crashes while I was working in the 911 center. One in particular happened while I was "on the air " with a trooper getting accident information he looked into his rear view mirror and said oh God, he's not going to stop and then I heard the crash and the trooper grunt like he had the wind knocked out of him. This trooper lived in my hometown and was a friend of mine. He just passed away a couple of days ago (not related to this crash).

Yes, That's right at Erie. You have a classic car? Go to car shows all the time.

Had a 1963 Corvette convertible, 327/300 automatic body-off restoration, from 1976 to 1991. Went to Presque Isle almost every year looking for parts & meeting up with other clubs for volley ball & picnics. Great memories & many fun weekends.
Still go to shows from time to time but usually just cruise nights, love to look at everything. Did you have a classic?

It made it to -25° overnight and is still -11 right now (11:42 AM). It may get up to -5° today but it's supposed to be back down to -24 tonight. MAKE IT STOP!!!

Feel for you. Those temps suck. I know what that's like. We used to get below zero temps here all the time, but don't think we have gone to 0 for over 10 years or so.
