2021 - How's the Weather Where You Are

I'm so sorry for the horror of what's happening in Texas and other areas. Texans have been warm and welcoming when we've traveled there, and it pains me to see them suffer so.

@fmdog44, I hope services are restored soon, and that your state & local governments send out water and other necessities to those in need.
 
A little hunch proved very beneficial this morning. So there is no bottled water in Texas? Not if you look for an alternative. All the shelves are baron for the gallon water bottles. So I went to four different corner stores and found many bottles of water in the refrigerated shelves just as I suspected I saw 7 ounce bottles, 12 ounce bottles and one liter bottles. I bought three one liter from every store. I could have bought more but I hate hoarders and what I wound up with will let me wash my hands, make my coffee and soup until the water comes on hopefully this weekend. I also bought a 2 liter bottle of juice and V8 for drinking to replenish my fluids. Now, if I could only take a hot shower.
 
We are getting all rain on this storm today and tomorrow. The ground is saturated already so we can expect some minor flooding. We have reached the high already of 40°F. Thoughts and prayers for the people going through hell with snow and freezing rain taking out the power, water and transportation. 🙏
 
We're finally seeing sunshine... first time in over a week. It's still cold, but by the weekend we should see the temps rising above freezing, and start melting some of this 8" of snow. If the forecasts are correct, this polar vortex will be moving away, and we will be back to normal temperatures by early next week.....can't come soon enough.
