Boil your water Austin. They fucked up again.

You sure? There's nothing on any local news source or twitter.

In before uproarious laughter and sneering disdain.

Did they forget to flip the switch again?

I guess no one learned how to turn on those generators since last year. 

[4th_and_18 687]

Care to elaborate?

And don't forget hiking & biking paths.  Everybody loves those.

[UTexasFight 9454]

How nice of them to send this as soon as the last piece of ice melted in my yard.

assholes.

[PantsTent 2002]

Fuck our fuckin water turbidity

[Pato del Muerto 52501]

No such issue from the fair hamlet of Georgetown. 

[utee94 15824]

Clown.  Show.

When this happened to the entire state last year I just drank the water without boiling and I didn’t die although I would have had to vote for the poo type of gravy. Unsure if related. 

[YChang 3446]

Annoying.. at least it’s just a boil notice and not… we’re about to shut down water to the city

[drt 638]

It’s a good thing my better half had PTSD from last year and filled every water bottle we own a few days ago. Looks like fucking Signs on our kitchen counter. Fuck you Austin Water.

It's going to fuck with the schools something fierce.

[Nonbryan 173]

and the irony is nothing has changed since the last time this happened and nothing will change going forward....

[Pato del Muerto 52501]

Don’t listen to this government overreach. This is being driven by big electric and big natural gas to unnecessarily increase usage. 
 

You should already be charcoal filtering your water anyway. Gets that poisonous chlorine and fluorine out of there as well that the government puts in it in order to make a docile and compliant populace. 
 

if you aren’t, you should buy my activated charcoal filtration system, the MyFilter. 
 

(a little secret, I buy them from Siemens, slap a couple of American flag decals on them, and mark them up 300%)

I'm afraid I'm going to have to do my own research on this

[Deej 76797]

MyFilter, MyPillow, whatever it takes.

Is it supposed to be sleeting outside?

Same here (78735). Big ole pellets. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Yeah, weirdness.  50 degrees and sleet.

Texas.

Haha, my son and his girlfriend went for a walk about 5 minutes before it started.  They sprinted a couple of blocks back home real quick.  

[hornian 5219]

I think it moved past sleet to hail at some point.

Yes. Called for.

Flip flop from last week. Then, the air aloft was warm but the air at the surface was cold so we got freezing rain. Now, air aloft is cold but air at the surface is warm so it's just harmless sleet. Nothing is going to freeze.

Don'worrybouddit.

I was out driving in it, it stacked up kinda deep on my car at times, but roads were fine (plenty warm).

[Guest]

68 degrees in February.

AC kicked on a minute ago. Last week we had 0 degrees one morning.

I said when we moved back up here, part of what I missed was having all 4 seasons.  I didn't mean so close together.  LOL

Some weather models are hinting at a strong cold front about a week from now with potential for wintry mix.  It's a long way out, but a few models have support for this in their runs.  In fact, some models are showing that Texas may run below normal on temps well into the first week of March. 

[Deej 76797]

Off to HEB to buy bottled water and toilet paper right now. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5152]

Dress warm for the baseball home games.  Think I'll stay home and watch from my recliner...and probably nest up in a blanket too.

This is a truism at pretty much any time, except MAYBE some of those NCAA regional/super games in June.  And even then, I always keep a sweatshirt in the car, just in case.

This is pretty much guaranteed to happen because I am planning to smoke a brisket next Saturday.

[Storm the Field 5294]

Houston today is getting the February Weather Variety Pack.

Muggy with light rain in the morning, clearing to a dry, Spring-like afternoon in the high 70's and sunny, followed by a strong cold front blowing in after sunset.

[Hate 20108]

Models are coming into further agreement on a cold snap next week. It’s not like Feb 2021, but some models are showing a low developing in the GOM around the same time as the cold front, so there is a chance of some wintry precrip next week…of course this is all subject to change. 
 

 

[Guest Lobo]

My local guy is showing Monday possibly touching 90 with the heat index and a hard freeze on Thursday.  

I wish we had this much variety in August.  

[Hate 20108]

Some models are calling for a winter storm.

they should really make a .gif of them walking away.  For skinny women, some of them have really great asses.  

Also, check your filters.

[Skipper 6135]

Yeah, this is about the time of year I'm completely done with Winter.  I guess another end of February blast is what we get for getting to swim on Christmas Day.

This is the way.

From the NWS...they are starting to get on board as well.
