I"M AT MY COMPUTER!!!!

Yea i'm taking a risk, but its STILL ON

also, we received word that since the roads are starting to melt, local grocery stores are gonna receive their trucks

It'll be like shopping at christmas, but getting food won't be a problem soon

I'll still have work problems, but ya know, DYING seems to be slowly getting off the table!

I feel bad for all the people that have been without power and stuff. I've just been chilling at home playing games and shit. Told my boss I wasn't risking my life to come work retail and he was basically just like alright and I haven't heard from him since. Tomorrow will be day 3 of missing work lol.

I am a little curious - how much warning was there about this ice storm and extreme cold? Was anyone trying to prepare the public for the potential damage?

Usually, meteorologists love to hype anything weather related as much as possible, so I would think there should have been some kind of warning. I am in the midwest where we have stuff like that on a regular basis, but anytime we have a storm or extreme cold, its the top news story. I would be a little surprised to find that warnings werent all over the place for cold and ice like this in Texas.

However, The aftermath of this storm seems comparable to a major hurricane that affected more than just the coast. So, how prepared were people in your area?

In Oklahoma we had about 7-10 days warning. But our meteorologists have been pretty bad in recent history in regards to hyping winter weather so while every store was packed last week there was definite skepticism it would actually happen.

50 degrees

All snow melted

Roads have cars again

Looks like we're back to normal

Apparently some houses have flooded because they had so much snow that melted too fast but that didn't happen to me

snow is one thing what about freezing temps ? Seems silly to design houses with no regard for cold temperatures even if you only get them a few weeks a year

We dont really get much in the way of freezing temperatures either.

https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/TX/Houston/extreme-annual-houston-low-temperature.php

usually it barely reaches freezing at best and regardless it doesnt generally stay that cold for very long so the pipes dont really ever freeze. If youre cold at that point, you throw on another layer and turn the heat on for at least a bit so typically not too big a deal. Unless theres no electricity, which this year...yeeeah.

Yeah, I was pretty much under the impression that a house without insulation is going to have as much trouble staying cool.

Like it keeps the AC in as well... your drywall has a ridiculously low R value its basically non existent. Insulation also acts as a sound barrier. Hollow walls would allow a greater build up of moisture.

I've been on this board pretty much as long as he has, and yet he's one of the few users I've almost never interacted with. Sometimes I would like to at least talk to him about his point of view out of interest, because I don't think he's really wishing harm on anyone but it'd be nice to know.

He doesn't have a point of view of his own, so you wouldn't understand him any more than now. I'm not sure he is able to even have a 2-way conversation either. And yes, to the extent that he does have his own feelings, he truly does wish harm on others.
