Houston weather this week - UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE. Tonight Wednesday Wednesday Night Thursday Thursday Night Friday Likely Chance for Measurable Precipitation 60% (Back to norbal.) Friday Night Saturday Saturday Night My recommendation is to throw 5 gallons of boiling hot water on the windshield all it once. That'll do a number on it, and you won't need air conditioning in the summer. May I recommend a good brand of goggles? Although you might not need goggles if it is shatterproof glass, and all the pretty lines running through it will turn it into an artwork par excellance.

It's terrible here. The roads are clogged with tourist and it takes twice as long to get to the liquor store.

Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!! DUH!!! i missed that C and 88 F!
-4 in Colorado springs. Not much wind.
Winter's the only time Florida is really habitable. It's cold and snowy outside, but I am warm and cozy inside, enjoying some yummy pecan halves, that a very special friend sent me. ;)

It's not particularly cold by local standards, but it was not life affirming to spend twenty minutes this morning trying to open my car door by simultaneously pulling on the handle while trying to break the door free by whacking it with my knee. Once inside, the engine started easily enough (Praise Ford, lol) but there was stil the matter of outward visibility, which meant removing all that ice from the windows. No amount of scraping was going to accomplish this task, this called for a firmer touch. Big tonka-truck yellow combo scraper-brush in hand I set about re-creating the role of Thor in one of those goofy-ass Wagner operas, wielding my hammer against the death-grip of the ice. Ponk! I could hear it echoing off my neighbors houses. Ponk! Am I hitting it too hard, could I actually break the glass? Ponk! Damn, this seems futile. Ponk! Okay, there's a little crack. Ponk! The defroster ought to start melting some of this at some point...

Maybe with Global Warming Cooling the summers will be less intense.

i agree...that gawd awful humidity makes me reeeaally grouchy.

we're 19 degrees already! time to drip all the faucets in the house.
#58. To: christine (#57)
Wow! That's very cold for Austin. Here we usually drip the faucets when it gets below 10, which rarely ever happens.

Seven below CO Springs.

It is currently a balmy 34 here - enroute to mid-20's tonight.

Sounds positively Palmy. Of course being in the north you don't have many, if any, Palms, but its the thought that counts. At 10:42 it is either 31 or 34 depending upon which weather station I take the reading from. I know it is getting cool because I had to turn the heat up.

Brrrrrr ... it's -1 degree with a wind chill of -26 degrees ...
Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces.

I'm thinkin' an 18" vent-free gas log set in the back seat of your car will take care of your icing problems. Three or four 20 pound propane cylinders in the trunk will power it and give you better traction. Lowe's is closing out all their fireplace stuff, so we should get you some good prices. Of course, we'll have to replace a lot of your upholstery & headliner with sheet metal, but what the hell, I didn't buy that plasma cutter and pan & box brake for looks. You'll have the cosiest and most romantic car in the greater Indy area. The chicks will love it.

We've officially got a level one clusterf*ck going on here now. Almost all businesses are closed, and they're yakking about Homeland Security on the TeeVee. I think we got about an additional nine inches overnight, with sustained winds of 43 mph gusting to 54. I've got some pretty bad drifts to deal with. TeeVee says Chicago got a lot worse.

Didja turn on all your taps last night and let them drip?? I turned them all on last night inside and outside a mite. I woulda gone skating in the front yard this morning, but I sold my ice skates at a yard sale.

did. they froze anyway.

Hey ... get a blow dryer and heat the line !

Whoa! I see that you guys got down to 14 in Kerrville last night. We only got down to 19 in Cypress. Our water doesn't want to freeze cause it's full of minerals. It's so hard you can chew it.
#72. To: christine (#68)
Dang, we have gotten colder and the pipes haven't froze even without dripping them. Your pipes must be exposed to the cold more than mine. Hope you don't get a leak.

Again? Damn, all this Global Warming is really f*ckin' you guys down there. :P I'm dug out, but the roads look like they're still impassable. Wifey got a chance to work in my office (the great outdoors) today on a snow shovel. I don't think she enjoyed it much. I'll do Mom's tomorrow morning.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

I have the dishwasher and washing machine going here. If we don't get above 32 today, and go back to 18 tonight, things could get interesting.

Do you guys have like a green plastic box or something in your yards that holds your water meters? If so, you might want to cover it with a couple of straw bales tight together to insulate it.

We have cast iron lids covering submerged concrete tubes where our meters reside. I guess that we could toss a bag of mulch on it...most of us don't have hay bales of any dimension here.

Sorry, I had to go fix some frozen busted pipes myself ... so the cattle would have water. Now, where is the pipe that's frozen ? Is it your main line ? I can't even believe you evn have frozen pipes in your neck of the woods.

Use cash. Just stuff a bunch of bills in the hole ($100s work best) and I'll have someone check it for ya later.

Under sinks on exposed walls are the first place to look. Then usually it is where ever it is the most inconvinent spot in your house.
where do i do that? the outside faucet?

#83. To: noone222 (#80)
do you know what's unbelievable? neither of my next door neighbors' pipes froze. they didn't even drip the faucets. they covered the outside faucet heads as we did. we have no idea where the freeze is, but Bill turned off the main water line in case we have a pipe burst. it looks like we won't water til sometime late Friday when it's supposed to break 32 degrees. sick.
got water?

Our cable (TV and internet connection) just came back on. It was down for 23 hours. We had 56 inch drifts of snow in our driveway this morning.
