Temps look like they’ll stay above freezing during Sunday.  Assuming that bodes well for keeping the roads open?  Figure if the ground doesn’t get too cold then it won’t stick enough to totally upend the city

Already idiots driving 20 mph. There is zero ice on the road. Roads are probably wetter and more dangerous in a summer thunderstorm.

Back/secondary roads here (Bee Cave/Lakeway) are all slipperying up.  This is gonna be a "DO NOT DRIVE" situation from now until tomorrow a.m.  Main roads are still just wet but they'll change, but the secondary roads are quickly getting slushy/icy.  Freezing now in many parts of ATX and will just hold there or get colder.

I'm an old hand at snow driving and I'll just say stay off the roads now unless you have a Demolition Derby Special - or want one.

We have a real winter storm, I can see 3-6 inches in ATX areas in some parts.

Yeah I’m just being selfish.  Kids were home for 2.5 weeks recently so would prefer not another home day tomorrow.

Yeah it is definitely getting colder. Driving conditions were fine when I was out just now but I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Believe from the above photo he's near the site of the Mt Carmel Cookout in 1993.

Hasn't stopped in 78753. Actually coming down harder now.

'56 still getting it.  We've already brought the kids inside, got them warmed up/dried off, etc., and I'm wondering if in another there'll be a lot more snow.

I keep expecting it to turn into rain.

Yeah, going on 5 hours of snow, here. Forecast looks like it turns to rain in about an hour or so, but who knows?

My old jackass has a nice warm stall but prefers to stand out in the snow.

More of a DUMBass, amirite?

How many people have died in the great Blizzard of '21 so far?

Power has been out for about 45 minutes. 
 

How does a few inches of snow knock the power out?

I’d guess either jackasses driving into power poles, or tree limbs weighted down messing up the lines.
