It's not snowing yet but the tarmac has turned white due to the frost. It's 3 below zero here in the North.

Well it's layers, ice underneath and more snow on top. Dangerous. I nearly fell when I went out to the wheelie bin.

In case anyone needed the laugh, this is about as well as SE TX copes with freezing weather... our news was nice enough to put up a counter for us so we could note each second of our suffering...




This meme has been making the rounds...
Spoiler:



I have two outdoor sensors and they both reached 19F(-7C) last night but other than that, nice and toasty here. We got some wintry mix that was sleet for a little bit, but not very much at all.

It's VERY cold today.

Coldest I've known for many years.

It's supposed to be -4 but it feels like -10.

Long story short, but our rental was very expensive to run heating because it was added before electricity was deregulated (rates were like 1/3rd of market)... I used stay up to burn firewood and we had pipes running through the fireplace and a switch put in for the water pump to run the heat from the fireplace through the rest of the house. So sort of like a backup boiler? I was very happy when we ran into some Maple... and our cat loved her spot in front of the visual toaster.

Old news now but we are well out of freezing. We get to turn our water back on.
