They say it will start late today and last only 3 days but..... So far it hasn't gotten going but it seems to be inevitable. How is weather where you are now and have you made extra preparation's?

Jinx & Wayne Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Here, south of Frostproof, FL, we were "cold" for a few days - 30's at night and mid-50 to 70's. Yesterday was 82 and sunny. Last night was 58 with low humidity. Yesterday we went to Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales. We prepared by making a picnic lunch and remembering the sunscreen.

I suppose that some folks just do not understand that a forecast is a prediction of the future and not a report of conditions today? 😏 The latest weather report here this morning (February 3, 2022) is 24°F at 7:30 am with light sleet and just enough accumulation to make everything white. It was 27°F an hour ago so things are not improving. Dallas/Ft Worth is most icy to the west side and less so as you reach the east side where we are but streets and highways are all slick. They do not expect temperatures to change much today so if you are planning to travel through the area, the best advice is wait until at least Saturday. EDIT: I will add that while we do have some power issues in small areas due to icy trees and power lines, they are small and being quickly repaired. Nothing even close to what happened last February.

rickeieio Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 20 miles west of Cincinnati, at 6:00a est. we had 32*f and a skim of ice. Three hours later, we are at 30*f and a mix of drizzle/sleet is coming down. Temps are predicted to fall through the day, and precip increase. Gennies are resting comfortably in the garage. Fortunately, I gathered the fix'ns for seafood chowder. Salmon, scallops, and shrimp in a creamy base along with some crusty bread and Kerry Gold butter......yummy. I might get inspired and make a pecan/maple/bacon pie to finish. I haven't perfected the pie yet. The bacon tends to get chewy.

rickeieio Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Dan, twist my arm. It all started because I love pecans, but not all that gooey sweet filling in pecan pie. Hmmmm. Double the pecans, substitute maple syrup for the corn syrup, stir in some undercooked chopped bacon. All good except the bacon that comes to the top gets like little rocks, and the bits that stay submerged get rubbery. More testing....

It sure was PJ! And we have more winter! Thanks Wayne! I understand now. 😎 Thank you so much for that friendly explanation Kirk!🤣 It is now 13°F Wind Chill feels like 2°F and sunny as you can see in the pic. Brisk wonderful weather! We ended up with 13" here and at our altitude of ~ 6000 feet the sun is so intense if you shovel it just enough to see the pavement the sun has it dry in a couple of hours. I am still recovering from the PEs in both lungs so had to hire someone to shovel for me this morning at 10, he was done by 10:45 and the picture was taken at ~ Noon. It is dry now completely at almost 2pm. No power outages here that the news reported. Stay safe folks!

There is also a college in a town in the center of the state that runs a hotel with a dining room. Don't remember the name of either, but always had a good meal when I rode with the South Florida Riders Club. It was buffet style and they had many delicious dessert choices.

lappir Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Just got home from work in SEMO. Its cold windy with a bit of something moving in the air. The ground is almost White with sleet and maybe a little snow mixed in. Not slick enough to play in (or deep enough) and it certainly won't make a snow ball or snow man. They are using way too much salt on the streets and late tonight when it gets colder it will all freeze and be rock hard my morning.

Kirk W Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 1 hour ago, GlennWest said: Mostly sleet coming down now The precipitation here in D/FW is pretty much over but it sounds like it will be another day before it warms enough to melt off the roads. Most of the area has a total accumulation of an inch or two with at least half of that being ice from the freezing rain that came first in this part of TX. Streets are still nasty but with very few things open the traffic has been limited so not too bad. I think that most of TX is very nervous with the memories of what happened here Feb. 13-21 of last year. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
