We got like 2 inches over night...about to start back up, by noon and go all the way through the evening...6-9, projected. Came downstairs and fired up the computer for work, only to get an email that our mainframe is down...due to bad weather in Dallas. So, drinking some coffee and watching The Office marathon.

I have to get my second vaccine today. I was thinking about taking a Lyft, but now I think I will feel safer on the bus. Ugh

i think 2/3 inches was the forecast. happened saturday night. high in the low 20s yesterday. i think getting a low of 12 last night/this morning. were supposed to hit 40 today though one our way to 70 by saturday.

somehow the streets were not a mess for once. we usually dont prepare well for snow. was wondering if we were going to have to come in to work today, yep we did lol im glad i live pretty near by and didnt have to worry about getting on a freeway.

and you know I am in the same city as you so....

and naw...President's Day isn't one of our holidays. We supposed to get hit again, Wednesday into Thursday. I'm a little jelly, cuz if we were working from the office, we would have been closed. I'll take that trade of 1 or 2 snow days a year, to work from home.

with breaks in between.

I think we ended up with about a foot at our place. Sounds like it was 10 inches to 2 feet depending on your location within the region.

We've been getting increasingly worse snow storms every year for the last 4 or 5 years, and they almost always happen in early to mid February.

this winter, without too much accumulation. February was like "hold up"

my homegirl in Dallas said her power is out and the eta they were given is "hopefully tomorrow"

it's 15 degrees in Dallas and supposed to be 6 degrees overnight. we haven't had power since 7 am. all the hotels in the entire Metroplex are sold out.

I don’t understand why your power grid can’t handle the snow. Is everyone’s home heated via electric heaters?

I love how all the conservative media and my conservative cousin like to talk shit about California when our grid goes down and blame it on the “liberal/socialist California agenda” as a reason why the power is out. However, they are silent when conservative Texas can’t keep the grid up during a winter storm.

Now, it’s like ‘yeah, but you regret voting for Biden now!’.

If not that, it’s like ‘mane! It got cold! Nice trick, Mother Nature! Our bad.’. Seems pretty lame regardless. I’m in texas but have had electricity so far. I know a gang of folks who lost theirs in the middle of the night and are still out.

He still has power but he said other part of San Antonio are without power.

since 1am, last night. My best friend's little bro is in Plano and his went out, this afternoon about 12.

even though that isn't the problem at all

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

With disaster handouts but don’t tread on me and socialism sucks except when we need your money to cover our disasters.

were on a separate grid so havent had to deal with that. definitely have family that is dealing with it though.

shit happened to us a few years back. Tried to use the fireplace but had to get a hotel for the night.

My coworker in Houston says his pipes have been frozen all weekend and he hasn’t been able to shower.

The pics are ridiculous, especially some of the snow drifts. They're under a Level 3 snow emergency right now. https://www.weathersafety.ohio.gov/snowemergencyclassifications.aspx

Meanwhile, it was 80 degrees here yesterday but it's now dropped to 67.

i assume so, but not totally sure.

(It's been a while since I lived there.)

Even so, they still got his hard. A Toledo news station reported that this was the 5th largest snowstorm on record for them, over 2 days.
