They've been turning different ones off and on for the past few days. Schertz is the closest one that's turned on right now. Probably going to start heading in that direction soon. I'm glad I ordered it when I did and got the free supercharging perk just a few months before they stopped offering it.

Haven't tried that yet, but probably a few days or so. If it's idle and not doing anything, like I'm also mode, maybe a few months. Just depends on power usage, really

LOL, so I started to head out. I drove forward a few feet and my car was freaking out and displaying a STOP message like I was about to hit something.

Got out and looked at the front of the car and a solid sheet of ice was covering the sensors. Had to spend some time breaking that ice up.

Saw this when walking to my apartment yesterday. Poor SOB had to abandon it. The Nissan Altima doesn't drive that well on ice, I guess.

Pipe burst in my exterior garage wall this morning on a line to a hose spigot even though I had it dripping for three days. At least it was the furthest pipe from the inside of the house. Had to shut the water off at the street and it sounds like it will probably be a week before it can be repaired. Thankfully my power is still on.

I walked by it again today. If you know the street, this is by the intersection that goes down a little hill with a stop sign. I assume it was just going too fast to stop.

I live a hour west of Ft Worth and the power finally came back on after having no power for 72 hours. As a Southerner the things I learned about the cold is:
Buy a bunch of powerbanks and a radio.
Gas stoves are not as primitive as I thought.

Pipes just burst. Lucky to be here when it happened and that someone was around to help shut off the water valve.

Now to call the home warranty company and wait weeks for the plumber. That's okay, I enjoy bottled water.

Adulting is grand.
Damn you really were lucky. That shit can SUCK

so i haven't checked the rest of the topic to see if this has been suggested but if you think you're at risk for pipes bursting leave water running. like leave a few faucets dripping.

okay just saw the post where they said that water is literally running out. uh, shit.

Our power was off for 2 days but finally came back.
It was horrible. Especially for my grandparents.
I'd be careful about car heat, apparently some died from carbon monoxide doing that. Though maybe there's a way to avoid that idk.
Be safe, I'm currently in a hospital so warm enough, but the weather is making it difficult to transfer me to another, as well as lack of beds.

I had to stay in my car for about 4 hours until I got a ride out. Stay safe,layer up and try to have everything you'll need right beside so you dont have to get out or move around much.

Piss bottle really helped me not to have to open the door.Stuck water bottles and canned food under the floor heat.

Also sweep off the ice around atleast 2 doors so It won't melt and refreeze to where it's an issue getting out.

I bought some candles today. I put gloves on and then held the gloves above the flame for a bit. Warmed them up quickly, but then I realized my gloves were starting to melt a little bit, lmao

I'm gonna get some new gloves soon. Probably some heated ones.
