South Louisiana, 13 degrees, wind chill 2 degrees. Its freaking colder here than it is in Alaska. That combined with inch or two of ice....we are locked in for 2 days. Funny thing is Farmers almanac predicted a warmer and dryer than usual this winter. We aren't made for this down here.

So you decided to share the joy eh.....it's coming down here now....

Southerners + Snow = Idiots

It makes us who we are

[tevake]

Yes the weather reports here in the panhandle are as wildly extreme as when rain is anticipated in AZ, funny to hear them freaking out.

It is chilly tho, have you heard about the cold stunned turtles, iguanas, even the gators are going stiff.
I'll admit I'm wearing wool shirt and socks indoors these days. Airstream are not built for cold weather.

16 this morning N of Dallas.

Ran out for some errands, only did a couple.

The others can wait.

At 11:45 all the Interstates are still closed as well as all bridges that cross the MS river. Go outside and you hear absolutely nothing. Very strange. Tonight we go back to 15, right now we are at 23, in South Louisiana! Damn this Global Warming...

Houston, 19° this morning. Yesterday we had freezing rain pretty much all day. The temp dropped from midnight and continued to drop almost the entire 24 hours of yesterday. THis morning there was ice all over the place.

The previous record for Jan 17 was 1930 at 15°, so we were 4° off.

For the week of Christmas, and the entire first week of January, our high temperature was 17 degrees for a few hours one afternoon. The low temps were all in negative numbers. We actually had the next week with seasonal temps 30-40 degrees, but for the last 5 days, we have had a high temp of 20 degrees again with most lows below zero.

I'm sick and tired of being cold, sick, and tired !

I feel sorry for you guys in Texas, but you can get used to it. I've been living with weather like ckelly describes. I was out shoveling snow this morning, it was 7 degrees. My coat was open, no hat no gloves. Earlier in the winter I would have been bundled up like Randy in A Christmas Story.

*8 low last night. 60 high by Sat....Up & down

[porsche4life]

What’s this cold weather you guys speak of? 70s all week here!

[crb07]

Was hoping for an A10 vid.

[rattlsnak]

Even colder here in ATL at 6 degrees and another 3-4 inches of snow last night. Supposed to be in the mid 60s by Sat!

[stealthn]

HaHaHaHa karma baby, that’s balmy, funny how everything shuts down. I understand no one has winter tires, but it’s just a skiff of snow

[Mark Henry]

Wimps.

6F in ATL??? Has to be a record breaker? Didn't think that was possible....

I used to live in NY so the cold is nothing new. The difference is TX is not really equipped for bitter cold.

We have pipes blowing all over the community, something I never gave a second thought to back East.

Which leads me to a question.

When I built the house here we did "instant hot" water.

Basically the hot water pipes recirculate so when you open the tap, boom, hot water from the git go.

Curious if that helps mitigate the worry of frozen pipes.

Logically the cold and hot pipes will have parallel runs so does the proximity of warm pipes help prevent the cold water pipes from freezing?

Could that be why some of my neighbors have issues and I (knock wood) have not? T

[KFC911]

Never heard of such a thing SM....recirculating the hot like that.....is it effecient? I just doesn't seem like it would be, but I dunno? I've never had a frozen pipe issue ever in any of my houses though....with no extra precautions...knock on wood.

Oh yeah....it's 6 degrees outside right now, about 10 inches of snow on the ground, and I'm beginnng to think ALL Canadians, Crowbob, and a few other are bat schit crazy....brrrr is right

Oh yeah....it'll be near 60 in a few daze though....

[livi]

So. Global warming turns out to be a plauge of cold spells.
Just blame Trump.
