Way better prepped than I was the big freeze a few years ago.
That time I had to 'fix' the generator (hadn't run it in 10 years) out in -7 degree temps.
Luckily it was just a rotted fuel line - a 20min job that took 2hrs in those temps!!
I think we're now ready to go about a week (comfortably) without power if needed, this time, and needing no 'refills'.

Headed out to catch Bricks In The Wall in Arlington.
Heater in the Caddy works fine.

Thank you.

Ran weed eater for 90 minutes this afternoon, actually broke a sweat. Fed dogs at 5:30 wearing flip flops, should be the last time for the next few days.

Just had to go out and empty the pool skimmers...it's damn cold already.

Realized a few hours ago that our propane order was not filled. We have 5% of a 250 gallon tank. Going into conservation mode here

All the best, sir.

Turned the heat off at 4pm. Holding tight at 71.

Got a wood stove or gas heater? Hopefully you can get a delivery Monday

House in broken bow was less than 10% and worked all weekend. I am hoping for the best for you guys.

Good luck. I know it’s about a 5 week wait for a rental tank here right now. Hopefully a fill will come soon to you.

You winterize your traps in Texas?

This is what they do up in yankee land to house they shut down power to

Yep, here it was -30 this morning. I went to the grocery store and the bait shop to get some ice fishing gear…

I just went varmint hunting and the animals are starting to move around now that the wind has slowed. It didn’t feel as cold as I thought it would.

I just went up into my attic to walk around, didn't feel too cold either. We have 17 mph north winds now. I guess 2nd cold front is passing?

Gonna go down to the pond around 8 and feed my ducks

I noticed my rabbits ate all the carrots I put out last night, They have been jamming on food the last couple of days

It's 9 here.

Never seen a Bucees that was not crowded. I will stop at the one in Temple on the way home from my brother's in Burnet only early in the morning.

Holding steady at 68. If we can get through tonight I think we have it whooped. Upstairs is still 74

1st fire of the winter. Cleaned the glass with wet newspaper and ashes. We are ready as we can be.

Even if you are not going anywhere, start your vehicle and let it run for a little while. I do mine twice a day late morning & evening.

Just Do Not forget to turn it off after a short while!

Must be Winter.

But the vehicles are in the garage.

Obviously you do not have a wife that is a hoarder and get to use the garage for it's primary purpose

I was interested to see that my house is holding the 69F degree setpoint at 17 degrees outside using the central system heat pump only. I have the 4 x 5 kW heat strips locked out. My 3 ton heat pump condensing unit uses 2 kW per hour, compared to 5.3 kW hour for strip heat to provide the same heat.

Now I am curious to see how it does Monday night when the temperature drops.
