  1. Where are you? I'm not seeing much melting take place. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but at the rate any melting is taking place in my neck of the woods I'd still have snow and ice come July.
  2. None in S. Austin. Gray, cold, and covered in snow and ice.
  3. And then another good chance of precipitation while freezing tomorrow morning.
  4. Wut? I'm seeing a high of 36°and a low of 22°. What are you seeing?
  5. Woke up, peeked outside. It is coming down. Rain, sleet, frozen rain, whatever. It was icy and slick last night. It's going to be super dangerous out there today. Be careful if you must venture out.
  6. Cuz PANIC!! 1! Buy enough food to feed an army. Fuck everyone else.
  7. Just went outside for some fresh air. Frozen mist, and the ground icy as fuck is my weather update.
  8. Trying to find the part you need at Home Depot during average times is a crap shoot. They don't keep shit in stock. Best of luck.
  9. Beer mostly. I did manage to find some Southside Market sausage links.
  10. Just got back from HEB. Absolute insanity. 30 minute wait outside. Once inside chaos. Barren shelves. No water or bread. Lines to the back of the store.
  11. Some mighty fine people on Surly! If only everyone on Earth was so kind and generous yada, yada, yada...
  12. Hope they've got gas stoves, and/or no power outage.
  13. Look at this shit just outside my building. The water heaters and washing machines on in the little storage space on the balconies. This is obviously unheated space, and two pipes have already burst pouring water off the balconies. Total shitshow.
  14. Praise the Lord! My power just came back on! Apartment is cold as fuck, but hopefully not for long!
  15. So, there are now apartments very nearby me gushing water from their balconies. The water coming from my kitchen sink with both valves fully open is pouring out at about 25% and dropping. I have no power or heat. I've contacted my complex. Is there anything else to do but wait for the inevitable?
  16. Fuck you Austin Energy. There's not anything "rolling" about my power being off for 6+ hours now.
  17. Everything in my apartment is electric. If only my water heater and oven ran on gas I could deal with no power short term no problem, just an inconvenience. I can't run any hot water through the pipes, I can't make any coffee with my french press, any food has to be eaten cold.... Fuck this shit!
  18. I've got my thermostat set at 63°, and other than my refrigerator, nothing else is using much power. I don't like having my faucets running nonstop, though. I can only guess how many gallons I've wasted trying to keep my pipes from freezing.
  19. Millions of thermostats set to 75° or higher with the entire state below freezing simultaneously.
  20. Lot's of homes like this in the St. Louis area. A friends family had their basement finished out like an efficiency apartment. Very cool.
  21. Here in 78744 it has certainly surpassed the snowfall from a few weeks back which was already impressive by Austin standards. It looks like 6" already, and is still coming down. Freaking awesome, except for the frozen pipes and rolling blackouts...
  22. Damn, it's not warming up much for a while either. Crazy for Central Texas.
