North Texans, Prepare for Cold Weather!

[budroux2w]

My wife went searching for them yesterday too...looks like it's gonna by "Rednick Enginuity" time tonight...LOL

Last I heard there was a possibility of rain too, but I'm stuck in an office at the moment. Let's hope businesses around here shut off their water sprinklers tonight.......

Yes. That link I posted to the weather office has it in there.

On a different note, I went around to 5 different places yesterday(Lowe's Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Wal-Mart) looking for those styrofoam faucet covers, and they are all sold out. Not any to be found. I wound up making some with foam insulation, bubble wrap, and LOTS of duct tape. A wonderful invention.

lol we had to do that last year only it was old socks, shirts and plastic bags :)

Ok - I'm officially getting tired of this Global Warming now

I'm not. Imagine how cold it'd get without Global Warming.

Cold air stated pouring in a little after 09:00 (today) in my area. brrr

If you have an older battery in your car/truck , make sure it has plenty of water in it so it will start in the morning.
I checked mine and it needed about 4 cups .

We got hit last night with the cold air and some light rain. Good thing I drive to work before all the crazy people I leave at 4:10 in the morning and usually all the drivers that are out know what they're doing. Around 6:00 AM though all the crazies got out and there was wrecks everywhere according to the radio. Hopefully noone here was victim to careless driving! Be careful in the DFW, theyre everywhere!

Powerboatr,
I see that you are a member of a shooting club in Mineola. I didn't know they had one. Where is it?
You wouldn't happen to be on Holbrook would you? I spend a lot of weekends there off of CR2297.

we are at lake fork, about 15 minutes away
holbrook is actually right behind the range turkey hill sportmans club

Holy Cow, its COLD! I had to go outside at 3am to find out why my alarm was going off on my aerobic septic system. The sprinklers are frozen and won't let the system run off the water in the tank Not sure how to fix that. It's not supposed to even reach freezing today.

At 8:07am this morning the temp was 16F, and wind chill was 0...as in zero degrees F. A good day to stay indoors & play on computer, or watch old black & white movies sipping hot cocoa & eating popcorn.

TexasGal, sorry to hear you're having that kind of problem. I have no idea on what to recommend.

I havebt been this cold since I lived in Boston, had to go get the wife's car worked on, darn dealerships are drafty places, I thought car salesmen were snakes, you think it would be warmer in there
