Snow we can deal with but freezing rain... bad news. Two years ago we got a major freezing rain/ice storm that took power lines and power poles down. We were without electric power for two weeks.

We are prepping, but hoping for the best.

I never have understood this, but Dallas/Fort Worth is very susceptible to ice storms. I don’t have statistics, but they seem to get ice much more often than snow. Lubbock, where I grew up, is about 325 miles further west and only about 30 miles further north, but they are more likely to get snow. Ice storms completely shut down DFW.

We have a nice red warning for this afternoon too. Looks like it might be another repeat false alarm but one of these days they might actually be right. Last time it was 20% snow 80% rain.

Either way, I get an early start to the weekend today so I can hibernate at home when the white stuff starts falling.

Temperature drops this week with a high of -13C on Tuesday, I guess those are real the January temperatures we can tell the younger generations about.

Esteban · 01-12-2024, 01:37 PM

Sunny and 55°F right now. High is going to be about 61. Another great day here in SoCal.

How are things in Lubbock Texas?

JimmyJazz · 01-12-2024, 04:58 PM

Alright, if you like Lubbock. Tech and Southplains are back in session so it’s busy again. Always pleasant when the Univision out of session. Electricity just got switched to ERCOT so we’re all about to get boned cost wise. This weekend we’ll see how the grid is going to holdup since the entire state is gonna be a cold MF.

I have my doubt about the up to 12" but the snowblower is ready to go...

Well they were off by 24 hrs... Apparently I should wake-up with 6" of snow, we'll see. Should be here in the next 2 hours.

GarySL · 01-12-2024, 06:56 PM

Buckets of rain in the weekend forecast, but decent this morning:

8" so far and flurries for the next 24 hours...

Not as much as Ottawa folks but it makes for a nice picture.The city tractor just came by this morning so I can actually move cars around now.

I needed the exercise but it was heavy wet snow to shovel. It's getting the snow blower next time.

UncleWede · 01-13-2024, 12:16 PM

What is this “snow” and “winter” y’all keep blabbing on about?

Frost when we left at 8 this morning to get to the spa for 9:00 massage. Deep tissue for an hour, complimentary tasting of wine at the South Coast winery in Temecula

Some of you need to move!

M_Six · 01-13-2024, 12:53 PM

Steelers/Bills game scheduled for tomorrow in Buffalo got pushed back to Monday. Looks like it's going to get nasty up there.

Light coating of snow here, but heading into 3 days of single digit daytime highs and sub-zero lows. Still, it's only 3 days and much of the country is seeing worse.

We had crazy high winds last night. I was afraid we'd lose power, but we didn't. The power companies here have done a pretty good job of cutting the trees back away from the power lines. It's paying off.

Llarry · 01-13-2024, 06:00 PM

Low of 22F last night and a dusting of snow. Since then, the temp went up to 24 degrees and we have had light freezing rain all day. I've been out twice to look after and feed my dog and llamas. Now it is down to 21 degrees. I guess so far so good, but the real stuff is supposed to be this evening and overnight. We're prepared for power outage and will be happy if we don't get it.

GarySL · 01-13-2024, 09:04 PM
