I am in the NW part of Travis County, about 10 miles NW of Austin. I just went outside and took a look around. We are getting some badly needed rain, as we have been experiencing a severe drought. I live on Lake Travis, and it is down about 50 feet from normal.
Our driveway is wet, and a light rain is falling, but nothing looks to be freezing.
I'm going to crawl under my down cover and get a good night's sleep. If this stuff freezes, we're stuck in the house as our house is on a hill and we have a driveway from hell with a big curve in it. No way to navigate that thing if it's iced over.
I hope everyone stays safe and warm. Prayers going up for those badly hit.
Reports this morning are that 400,000 are without power. This Winter Ice Storm is heading up towards the NorthEast today.
I had read back a while, Texas was pretty parched and had been for a while......as with Texas philosophy, as always, its either all or nothing....so someone came up with the card game.
That aside, will pray you folks in Bush country to get back the rain that the Libs in Seattle stole from ya.
