I went with the pouch/mitten covers this time around as those have come off in the past for me. These pouches have been more secure but maybe not as good as those plastic covers. I had to go out this

Wunderground shows 25, feels like 16. Scroll down, low today?  33. 
 

Cmon man

 

Daily forecast shows a high of 34 for Amarillo today, and then the 10 day forecast shows a high of 36 for today.

WTF?  yeah, it's only 2 degrees, but shouldn't they match?

I subscribe to the college interns drinking beer theory.

Yeah saw some of those long term forecasts as I was putting all our flora covers away last month.  But thought I should keep them handy in case along with faucet covers and water shutoff procedures.

 

You know it’s a bad sign when despite these early warning; ERCOT is literally laying people off later this month.  This fucking simulation…

Yeah I'd heard that was coming your way.  Hang in there! 

(No, I mean literally, hang in there and try not to slide down a mountainside...)

How is Otis not figured prominently in the My Dog Is Awesome thread

Last two posts have doomed us. Dropping tree fiddy that we get nailed with some crap weather around spring break.


 

We usually do, but it's typically the "cool and rainy" kind rather than the "below freezing for a week so your electricity goes out and all your pipes burst" kind.

One of the mildest Texas winters I can remember.  Not complaining, considering the grid can't handle demand.

Yeah, aside from about 60 hours during the January freeze, I'm struggling to remember many genuinely "cold" days that required much more than a light jacket or pullover here in Houston.

It was the coldest January in Austin in 17 years

This is true for Camp Mabry weather station KATT.  For Austin-Bergstrom International Airport weather station KAUS, January 2015 was technically colder.  587.5 HDD in January 2015 vs 582 HDD in January 2024.

Well it didn’t feel like it. We certainly only froze a few times and nothing crazy like single digits. I should probably stop jinxing us though. 

The Arctic burst toughened you up and those 36-49 degree days seemed like nothing. 
 

That and we didn’t always have wind on those cold days which helps.

Yea I'm looking for the 2024 blast furnace thread because I have some problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it. I see a high of 88 in dfw next Monday, which last time I checked was still February. I already told my wife we are xeriscaping if we have another summer like the previous 2.

I started negotiations with my employers about working from Minnesota for 3 months a year.

This shit will be unsustainable. 

Enjoy the mosquitos. I got cold beer and a river. I will be fine.

It will get worse. So only concerns are can the grid hold up because people need their house at 68 in August.
