You running around with a spear and loin cloth on?

Loin cloth? I don't need no stinkin loin cloth.

Dude why? You could have had a nice comfy bed. You PM me if you don't get out.

Awesome thanks. I may need a ride from the DFW airport to the Hampton Inn in Mesquite.

Our tentative plans are to ditch the flight to Austin all together now and meet the Mrs at the hotel tonight.

If any TGT members drive this route regularly anytime between 2pm and 5pm, I'd sure appreciate a lift !! Would save me an expensive cab fare. I know it's a long shot but WTHeck, right ?!?

I think all of Austin was on 2hr delay this morning, but other than just a little frost on my windshield it wasn't icy at all. It was great driving to work this morning.. zero traffic!

I've seen the weather reports for all the nasty cold ya'll are getting. The Weather Channel showed a swath of where all the cold and icy temps are running.....from the Dallas area up through the central U.S. states to the Ohio valley. Winter hasn't "officially" arrived yet but the cold and nasty weather is already here.

Right now, in Las Vegas, it's 32º at 0900 hours. Was around 28º when I dragged my old ass out of bed at 0430 hours. I'm supremely glad I'm retired. I checked the weather at the work location I flew to each day and up there, at 5,500 feet in elevation, it's 11º. I know my former coworker, the lead tech on our system, and our system engineer are freezing their asses off. The engineer "homesteads" up there....he drives up on Tuesday and drives back on Friday (work week is Tuesday through Friday - 4 10-hour days - he doesn't fly any more). So a difference of around 245 miles and 3,000 feet higher in elevation (Las Vegas is at 2,900 feet) results in some definite COLDER temps. No ice on our roads here but there hasn't been any rain or snow either.

Second go around out here in two weeks. First time was for about 2 1/2 to three days. Loks like sub freezing temps. and ice out here again until at least Sunday. What fun this is, :-((

 

[no2gates]

Yup, my power went out at 3:57AM , yes AM! It just came on at 2:35PM. That was not fun.
Roads too icy to go to work so stayed home

 

[TXARGUY]

Still no power but very comfortable. Wife and I have been all over town checking on everyone and dropping off supplies where needed. Now headed to the land to break ice on the ponds.

Got a text msg cancelling work today. Unfortunately, I was at work when I got it.

That's should be one of the extra verses the Ironic song by Alanis Morisette

At least you're a trooper that got up, got dressed, put on some deodorant (I hope) and trekked to work, which I know is no small commute for you. Must be your military background that sparks that will to make it happen. FWIW, in all of my working days (please don't have me get out the calculator) I can only remember one day I missed work due to weather. And about 20 of those years were in Illinois and New Jersey.

What's that worth? Absolutely nothing except to me.

Stay safe friend.

How quickly we turn on ice!

Ice for cold beer.

Ice to relieve a bad sprain.

Ice in the ice chest to keep the fish fresh.

Sit on ice and go fishing. (How did we get there)?

It is ice, not the apocalypse.
