OLG Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Loved it! We have had -26 temps w/o windchill and ALL grocery stores and businesses are shut down due to the Texas Electricity problems. No natural gas for over 10K folks in our area( northern NM) but we are not panicking!! Thanks for the chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 That is so, so true! There was an expert plumber (*gasp*) on the evening news last night not just exhorting us to "wrap your pipes!!" but explaining, in detail, how to go about doing that. ("It's too late to find the foam wrapping in the stores! You're going to have to use towels!") Half an inch of snow on the ground this morning, and all schools and the state university were shut down. 200 accidents so far. The kids are in ecstasy. What is this white stuff on the ground? Manna? Cold manna!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oh, man... I distinctly remember when we lived there watching a newscaster say "it's 34 degrees right now, at any second the bridges and overpasses could freeze". They interrupted tv all morning to tell us bridges and overpasses *might* freeze. They are hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oh that was hilarious! "School is closed bc 37 degree is too cold for kids to walk from the car to the front of the building! WRAP YOUR PIPES!":lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in Austin Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 That barely qualifies as satire because it is just true! Too, too funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonfirmath Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Austin here. My husband spun out trying to get home I'm just as glad they close things in this weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oh, man... I distinctly remember when we lived there watching a newscaster say "it's 34 degrees right now, at any second the bridges and overpasses could freeze". They interrupted tv all morning to tell us bridges and overpasses *might* freeze. They are hilarious. The sad thing is that they're not being THAT overblown. Once the main bridge in my town freezes, everything grinds (or slides and smashes into a guardrail blocking 4 lanes of traffic) to a halt. This morning they shut down all the toll roads and HOV lanes, basically any road they can actually block off and called out the dump trucks with aggregate to try to make the bridges and overpasses passable. Dump trucks! Aggregate! There is no way to clear or salt a road here at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 LOL That's probably how it would be here too if it ever snowed. I sent my son to school in shorts this morning and have my air conditioner on right now. :D hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
