Trees are getting coated with ice here in Lamar County. Just heard first VFD get toned for power line down a few minutes ago. I’m a volunteer myself so just waiting for stuff to hit the fan sometime tonight. My truck is getting coated with ice. Put the side by side with cab and heat in the garage (it fits unlike the truck). I’m 1\2 mile from our Sta. 2 so making a response at 20 MPH to the station isn’t an issue. Wind is blowing pretty good and rain is quite heavy at times.
Have generator ready to run a few heaters and the coffee maker! Y’all stay safe out there.

This is shertown.

About what my yard looks like minus the furniture. It is sleeting hard though here.

South of San Antonio, it’s windy and raining. School already cancelled and not even suppose to freeze till tomorrow afternoon…

Need to bring them pillows in they are going to get weathered.

It’s getting rough already up here, limbs are starting to come down and it’s raining pretty hard so I think we’re about to get hammered. You can see the areas getting bad already on the Texas Power map.

Ours went out for a spell but came back on in Grayson county. Sure it’ll do it again.

God bless those linemen crews.

Still right at 32 here this morning. Everything is wet.

Far N Dallas at t 6:10 this am still sleeting. Where is my Dayum 1-3" of snow that is suppose to be on top of the sleet/ice

It would be a heck of a lot easier walking the mutt this am with snow on top this crap vs just ice

Sleet covered by snow here. It's 20 degrees. Wind 15-30.

Rained hard here for hours yesterday....really needed it.

31 degrees at 5:30am this morning and that was the high. We are headed south from here.

Just transitioned to sleet.

Little bit of mix here in Bexar County. Looong explanations on the local news about how a branch gets ice on it, touches a power line, and blows a transformer. It's like being back in Kindergarten. Local government update on TV at 11a.m. I'm sure Nelson Wolfe will drag his dried up old bones on stage, put his cowboy bandana around his neck, and impart pearls of wisdom to the whole community that we should all be thankful for.

A little icy in Fate. Sleeting now. Just went out to get newspaper and feed the birds.

Snowing hard now in big flakes

No snow here so far, but the ground is mostly covered with frozen sleet. The good news is that it froze before it coated the tree limbs. It’s still sleeting (frozen) and will continue to about 3 pm. Maybe a bunch of limbs won’t drop on the power lines this time. Temp is 27 right now and dropping, so there shouldn’t be any ice accumulation on the trees.

Before the rain became sleet, I was expecting about .30” of rain. We actually got 3 inches last night.

Wife is mad that blackbirds are shoving ‘her’ birds out of the feeders. Shooting them doesn’t keep the rest away.

They have to eat also.

Just Beautiful!

JMHO- wouldn't give ten cents for 10 feet of it
I'd be happy if the snow and ice would stay 3 or 4 hours north forever,
or at least until they bury me

it's all white in the settlement now. Big snow falling.

Only about half an inch of sleet in Dallas. Delkus said there would be 1-3 inches of snow, but that doesn't seem likely.

Snowing heavy here right now:

At 7:29 am I looked out front and low and behold the wife parked under the Live Oak tree thats branches were sagging from the ice accumulation. No clue why she parks under it for all the stuff that constantly falls or drops out of there especially the bird crap. Decided to move it before a limb remodels it. The drivers door facing the north was sealed shut with the ice so my fat butt had go in the passenger side and crawl over.




At 8:08 Luke and I heading out for our morning walk, did a short .96 mile.

27 on the back porch with nothing coming down at the moment. Maybe an inch of frozen sleet covering everything. FarmLogs said we got 1.3 inches of moisture. I'm thankful to awaken to the pool pump still working!
They say tomorrow morning will be the biggest test for the power grid cording to usage.
