I’ve been in Texas for 5 years now, and this is the coldest (2F) and snowiest (3”) I’ve seen down here. Some pipes burst in our hospital, but my lab and clinic are luckily spared. I have to admit that driving in my Jeep on icy roads makes me homesick for Wyoming.

We’ve gotten 12 inches according to the local weatherman. I live rural and drifts of 5 feet are not at all uncommon. There are parts of my driveway that you can still see gravel and other parts that are drifted over the top of the car.

Seriously. People around here always say they'd never live in CA cause they have earthquakes and how can people live somewhere like that. When the fact is way more people die or go to the emergency room with serious issues because of the winter. Slip and falls and the big one people not pacing themselves with snow shoveling. Either injuries or cardiovascular issues. Know your limits.
Cardio issues for sure.. Dont slip!

We have had sort of a weird deal with snow this year. In the last cold from it snowed for six days straight. You think it have buried us but out of all the we got maybe three inches of snow. But man they made up with it on the temperature side. The highs range up to 20 degrees and the lows were as cold as -10 degrees.

The hospital was a break in the fire sprinkler system, leading to substantial flooding and damage but thankfully nothing in the patient areas. Property can be replaced, but we’re hearing of quite a few deaths associated with the storm. It will likely be a few weeks before we know the full extent of these losses, so we’re counting ourselves fortunate.

Indeed! Most of the major repairs are underway, and they’re pulling up carpet all over the place. It’ll be ugly for a few more weeks, but we’re only operating around 50% due to the pandemic so we can absorb the loss of space/facilities.
