What if it Snows?

Your take is factually inaccurate, much like LTD about winter highway equipment. Most "winter conditions" in Texas are hours of a freeze, maybe 1-2 days. The storm that is hitting them now is more reminiscent of storms that the PNW gets. 14"+ of snow, coupled with ice storms. The preparation for these kind of events are cost prohibitive when it's years, or decades inbetween.

 

Missouri by saint Louis may be back to normal by tomorrow. 21'F in the shade on my deck.

 

I'll also add that the length of time we're experiencing these sub freezing temps has been extraordinary. And this particular issue has been the game changer for us. Three solid days of single digit and teens to low twenties for day time highs. Plus, crazy people trying to drive on ice covered roadways that were never plowed.

 

Well.
A water pipe busted in the wall in utility room, for no apparent reason.
Wasn’t on, and a space heater on 68 in there.
Guess who got to freeze while under tree limbs with a shovel trying to find the water meter because the little flag was buried too.

So. a little over 2 hours outside with a shovel and found it.
I think someone moved it closer to the tree than I remember.

Reached inside, Snatched arm out.
Copperhead snake laying there cold and lonesome.
Had to whack him with a shovel.

 

What good is a winter front....? The 2.xx crowd says none.........

But who cares about that.......

 

I thought turbine water is kept in a closed loop. It has a heat exchanger with regular water.

 

Is this some of Sheila's handiwork, or store bought?

That's my vote, with a blueberry waffle if available, pecan if not.

 

EVERYONE wants to do Opus.
However, I'm spoken for.
