<![CDATA[New Ice Age!!]]> Well at least down here this winter. About a month ago we had the most snow I've ever seen in Central Texas in my lifetime, about 4 inches. Then this week we had an "ice event" where we got very thick ice on all our trees, roads, etc. So much so that I went outside and hacked off several very big live oak limbs which were threatening to topple 2-3 trees onto the house. Each one individually with all that ice weighed about 300-400 lbs. They were the ones that were near horizontal that I felt might crack the main trunk with the 16-18 mph north winds we got on top of the ice storm. Then last night we made it all the way to 6F with about 6 inches of snow. So it just topped my previous all time snow event. And hopefully direct sunlight may help us some today and tomorrow though we expect only 21F today and 31F tomorrow. Needs to because they are predicting another freezing rain ice event Wed. early am for several hours. Anyway I've got got all my outside faucets on fast drip and every few hours I go out and run them strong for about 30 seconds each. Thinking of building an igloo in the outback. It's so cold, icy and snowy that Frosty moved back across the trumpy wall down to Monterey. ?️❄️☃️??️

The wife and I were at the square early this morning to avoid the crowds.

It was a balmy 7 degrees, with a wind chill of 5 below so the hundreds of ice sculptures were at little risk of melting.

Go Browns!

He should’ve had a plan in place.

Tough shit for you poor people huh? Don't worry little ones, we will use solar and wind when it works better then gas or oil or coal.

Luckily Biden wasn't president when the automobile was invented or he would have ordered all horses to be shot.

About 10% of our power comes from green energy (wind & solar). The rest from coal, gas and nuclear. You can go look that up yourself. None of those sources were totally compromised, but all were compromised, including that 10%, thus the word "some" can apply to all.

Actually we found out that some of the 10% solar & wind still functioned, but a great deal of the 90% oil, gas, coal plants went down

Got a reference point on that, proof?  What is 'some' of the 10%?  What is a 'great deal' of the 90%?

Actually we found out that some of the 10% solar & wind still functioned, but a great deal of the 90% oil, gas, coal plants went down. And now she's up past $4 million raised. Even the Gov is now admitting to the massive failure of the 90% and that the 10% was a red herring. Oh, and guess who was in charge back in 2011 when Texas should have listened to federal recommendations to winterize it all which they didn't do for any of it? Yep, dear old Class of '72 Aggie Rick Perry, the dufus trumpy put in charge of the energy. I knew I shoulda hazed that guy out of the Corps of Cadets when he was a freshman and I was a senior. Complete faceman tool. All hair & air.

Any outages are from downed lines, shortouts, etc. It was hot enough and sunny enough to take almost all ice out of trees, lines, roads and even roofs. We have one last night of sub 20s to deal with and 50s with sun across most of the state tomorrow. Then back to our normal spring with rare lows under 32F and most highs 60s & 70s from now on. They still have major problems with needing to boil water like my son & daughter still need to do just 5 minutes from us while we are fine. They have a lot of major pipe ruptures throughout the state which requires a lot of work to repair before they can get back on the no boil necessary norm. We feel very lucky that we have had minor problems to deal with while others like my daughter's sister in law lost all power way too long and are now trying to clean out a thawing house whose pipes have broken throughout their home in Dallas. They could not get their water cut off fast enough to prevent major interior flooding. Millions in Texas have the same problem now.

I’ve been there twice. And trust me no one is sober enough to be up that early

Just look at the size of his luggage That’s not an overnight bag

But, hey, if I had the means to flee this cold weather and stay at the Ritz in Cancun. I would be gone too

MHO- only reason he came back was he got busted on the plane with folks taking pictures on the plane and forwarding them to their local news outlets..
