Dallas is enjoying 4-5 inches of snow right now. Very unusual for this area.

Hard to measure how deep it is out here, probably 4-6", wind is blowing it into small drifts 12-16" high, temp is at 7, wind chill @-14, haven't fired up the heater in the shop yet, just have a patio propane heater, yesterday it raised the temp from 18 to 40 in about 4 hours laugh2 up

There is a deep cold front across most of US. I think it was 2014 when we had snow accumulation in all 48 contiguous states. Doesn't happen often, but happens. I remember when I was in Fairfield AL for work and it snowed. Fortunately my rental had all season tires but most cars were just sliding around like curling stones, complete with bumping into other cars and guardrails. My Buffalo driving skills came in handy. The next day on the ride in, I think I counted something like 30 bumper covers laying along the road. And it was only a five mile drive to the plant from the hotel.

Be safe and stay in if your vehicle isn't equipped for snow.

Ice is far worse than snow. I saw the weather maps and noticed snow as far south as Houston, which I'm sure rarely happens.

Here it is -9° with a -29° wind chill.

I'm about 35 miles SE of Houston. I'm real close to Johnson Space Center. ("Houston, we have a problem").

The temp is actually dropping. Now it's 16 and with the wind chill, feels like -4...... eek

To add to the 'fun', the power grid for this area is overwhelmed right now, so they're having rolling blackouts. They're trying to do them for less than an hour, but in some areas, the blackouts are happening every couple of hours, so the home has no time to warm back up.

And by Saturday, it's supposed to be in the 70's. shake_head

it's 3, three degrees here. We've got 3~ 4" of dry powder snow. At least it's a cakewalk to drive on. HIH far south do you have to go to get away from precipitation that won't go down the drain?
