Pretty bizaare, they've been having nasty winters the last few years. I keep telling everyone that I want 8 feet of snow here in Omaha. We haven't gotten an inch all year.

Well for them it appears to be.  This is my backyard, about 35 miles west of Houston. just a dusting. It is coming down harder now and they say we could see as much s 6". I dowbt that.  High is expected to be 38 and the low tonight 17.

I remember a few years ago, Texas had a deep freeze and this caused a number of residents freezing up their water pipes and busting them in the process.  This created a lot of water damage to a number of homeowners in the region.  I think some houses in Texas are not even built for winter weather conditions with temperatures below the freezing mark.  This cold air jet stream is really dipping into the deep south.

Yep, we had multiple issues because we were out of town when it hit.  We lost power during a week of sub-freezing temps. Our Sprinkler system back flow valve cracked, pool pump cracked, and our tankless water heater (which was in the attic) cracked inside the unit. I did most of the repairs myself and still spent close to 3,000 to fix it all. Luckily a neighbor saw the sprinkler break and turn off our water or it would have been a lot worse.

Good mid morning to all.  Not planning a whole lot to do today, but if we hit 33°F this afternoon, I just might wash the truck and car to wash away salt and grime.
