I want to hear your stories (those of you who don't mind disclosing your approximate locations: don't dox yourselves). Is the media blowing winter storm nonsense up our asses or are there really millions of people on the brink of an icy death?

Thanks. We're seeing on the local (Houston) news that some areas have been without power since Monday morning.

Also, around here there is no snow removal equipment, so driving anywhere not recommended. One of our plans if things got bad (but mostly thinking hurricanes in the summer) that we would just drive out of the target area until it was over. But this weather is so wide spread it would take days to get to an unaffected area.

Just now they are talking on the news about how many burst water pipes they will have to deal with when they thaw.

Good gracious. That must be a once in a lifetime sort of storm for down there. Hope people prepped before the storm.

About 70 miles north of Houston. Monday-Tues we got 4-5 inches of snow. Today has rain/sleet most of the day. Snow is still about 2 inches on the yard, and the street is covered in slush. It will re-freeze soon as the temp drops.

We stay fairly well stocked up, so we're just staying home bundled up and waiting it out.

Holy shit. Really once in a lifetime.
