January 5Jan 5 Mueller HEB was open and a fucking mad house yesterday. High of 74 today, then winter comes unenthusiastically. Edited January 5Jan 5 by MissingInAction
January 5Jan 5 I managed to get ahead of the game yesterday. Drained all hoses, put my warm boxes on the faucets and covered plants in hopes of peace of mind that everything will be OK. We still have Indian Paintbrush, Indian blankets, Lantana and other flowers that are still in bloom. Not an overabundance but still makes the yard colorful. In fact, Bluebonnets and Sunflowers are trying to pop up. I think our landscaping is confused on which season it is. Dreary and weary winter weather arrives today. yuk. 2 hours later......

January 5Jan 5 This is the NBM (National Blend of Models) which apparently the NWS FW puts a lot of stock in. FWIW.

January 5Jan 5 Good thing I decided to double check the faucet out at the wellhouse that I never use. Turns out I did use it in July to rinse the a/c and then never covered it back up because who tf covers a water faucet in July?

January 5Jan 5 Hasn't cooled down yet, but it's raining sideways in Houston. Temps should start dropping fairly quickly after this storm passes.
January 6Jan 6 Checked the well, pipes, etc.. ready for the polar vortex but it seems like it's only going to be below freezing for a few hours in the morning throughout the week. Looking forward to a cold but comfortable week.
January 6Jan 6 Shouldn’t be anything crazy this week. The further north you go the better your chance of seeing snow. Should just be regular cold in the Houston area this week. The end of January may get a little colder though.

Thought about chili, but nah, needed something tropical to fend off this blizzard. Oh wait, not gonna rain. So what is the reality of next week? Thursday/Friday timeframe? Going to be cold as Ohio for the game.

January 6Jan 6 All the newb female reporters in DFW are putting together their snow bunny outfit for that drive up 287 Friday.

Hope the current forecast doesn’t push back a few hours. It’s already probably going to push a lot of folks to join me on 35 at the same time

January 6Jan 6 If it’s below freezing around 10pm ish with rain? Assuming that’s when the game would end.

January 6Jan 6 To significantly impact a fire ant population, temperatures need to be consistently below 10°F (around -12°C) for an extended period, as this is the range where soil freezing can reach the depth of their nests and kill them; however, even at these temperatures, some colonies may survive depending on their location and the severity of the cold snap.

January 6Jan 6 Was 27 degrees and windy when I took my pup for a walk. He normally goes about three blocks before deciding to crap, but squeezed one out in a hurry, given that this morning is by far the coldest it's been since we adopted him.

Current forecast is precipitation ending overnight and dry Friday during day. But could be a lot to melt and TBD what time temps dip back under freezing on Friday. I think we know a lot more by tomorrow and certainly tomorrow night but current best case scenario seems like a good (but small) window for travel Friday afternoon and hoping temps don't dip back down below freezing until well after game ends. Flights Thurs seem pretty fucked unless things change which I assume will impact a bunch of OSU fans.

It was 21 degrees at 3am when my pup, a 13 year old Shepherd/Lab/Chow mix, wanted to go outside. It's his kind of weather, so he luxuriated for about 20 minutes before being made to come back inside....where he promptly took a crap. I guess he showed me for harshing his arctic blast buzz.

January 6Jan 6 This is the Texas Storm Chasers YouTube channel. David has a lot of good insight here.
