The major highways in the DFW area actually appear to be fine. It's the side streets that are problematic, but it's all snow, not ice.

Apparently almost half the population of Austin has been without power. They have been cutting power everywhere that doesn't have something important like a water treatment plant or police station. I got lucky. Thanks, nearby hospital!

I have some friends who have been affected by rolling blackouts down there. One friend has been 30+ hours without power and his house is now below 40 degrees. I feel awful for you guys.

27 degrees now , it's warming up!

Still no power though it came on for 5 minutes and I managed to cook some eggs in that time

I'm thinking about making a fire in my backyard to cook my chicken and meat that's in my freezer before it spoils

I live in a part of TX where wild animals roam free, not to mention there's stray cats and shit.

I'm hesitant to put my shit outside

But it's fine, i remembered i have a bbq grill

I can heat up a skillet with eggs if I have to

I can keep this up for a few more days

To think I put off grocery shopping til my tiny ass payday this friday LOL

I sure as fuck ain't riskin it. Fuck them coyotes and skunks and shit

And the occasional boar

Also they're currently not frozen, hence the slight pressure to act. I guess I can stay outside and keep guard but my Hispanic ass can't survive in snow for too long

That does change things a bit. Probably should have figured that, in retrospect.

I would think if you straight buried them in the snow it would still cover the scent, but I cannot stress how much I am not an expert on this. And that's putting aside how well they'd handle refreezing.

Since you guys don't have insulated pipes I assume, I would recommend running water on low to avoid pipes freezing and bursting.

I've actually been doing that but it STILL froze over a bit.

It's not enough to take a shower but at least I can give my pet's water.

I have a 5 gallon water jug I've been living off. But once I run out I can't be picky about water

People (at least in Houston) were advised to insulate it themselves. My parents were wrapping whatever pipes they had in towels and then wrapping them in cling wrap lol

I had a little bbq and made the food I had. Chicken breasts. It's usually what I eat , so luckily I had a bag

But with grocery stores not being stocked due to no trucks being able to make drives, this might be all I have.

I have them stored in a Tupperware container inside one of those bag coolers.

I survived the weekend eating a half a loaf of bread. Back when I was poorer (if you can believe that) I could survive a whole week with half a loaf. I've gone soft

Maybe not the right topic to touch upon this but despite the whole stock thing , corporate cut out hours EVEN MORE for the past few weeks.

I had to give up more than half my hours to give my people Decent checks . And now we're not working at ALL

Thats why I've been saying my financial situation has been bad lately

Things are seriously not good my guys

Did they at least leave you some leftovers? That's what they'd do for us sometimes when I was working 3rds.
