Agree this is unusual. Looked at electric grid reports and it is showing about 40% of the Houston area has power (60% no power). News reports show that it may be several days before power is restored. Some fuel stations are out of gas, most businesses closed,
etc. Local Lowes was closed Monday, and yesterday had lines of over 50 people waiting to get into the store. Plumbing supplies are mostly sold out, where many cannot get supplies to fix broken pipes.
<div>We have 2 families staying with us because we have power and water. Another family is coming to shower because they do not have water - there generator will not run there 220 V well. We lost power for 4 hours, but it came back on, and lost water the night
before, but it is back on now. Think we are fortunate to live near an EMS hub, so power is not being shut of here.</div>

<div dir="ltr">To say that 2020 was unusual , I can say I have in all my 81 years never seen so many problems in the World . We survived two HURRICANES back to back and so for have outran the covid 19 virus . Then we start 2021 with the same covid 19 and winter
has sat in with a grudge , 14* in Sulphur Louisiana and 4 to 5 inches of snow on the ground with everything frozen yesterday morning and NO electricity and only a trickle of water . The only difference from yesterday and today is we have electricity . When
it is all said and done , I thank the good Lord above for giving me the health and energy in order to survive . My old daddy taught me many years ago to NEVER GIVE UP as things will get better . We southerners are NOT used to or equipped for freezing rain
, sleat and snow but we just have to improvise in order to survive and if we can make it for a few more days , well , who knows what happens next . just bring it on and let`s see .</div>

<p>Dean & all:</p>
<p>This brings back memories of my youth - during one of the big blizzards in the late 1970s (not sure if it was 77, 78, or 79) my dad set out, after the snow stopped, with a similar setup with a 6' blade to plow out our driveway (attached to either a 620 or
to a Farmall 300) - which was the better part of a quarter mile from the state highway that fronts the farm. However, while the snow had stopped, there was a strong west wind blowing across the north-south driveway...Pop had started down at the road and was
working his way back toward the house; he had plowed out about halfway up the driveway when he looked back at where he had started - and saw that it had already drifted in to a point where he couldn't tell he'd done anything.</p>
<p>My dad, being the smart guy that he was (and boy, do I miss him, even after 5 years) just picked up the blade and drove the tractor back to the shed. He waited until the wind died down before trying again - which was the next morning. Fortunately for the
folks, they didn't need to leave the farm for anything, just keep the cattle fed.
<br>
</p>
<p>I think this might have been the same winter that Pop had to plow roads across the fields in order to be able to haul hay (big bales) to the herd. The snow was so deep that the cows used his roads instead of walking through what was hip-deep to them! Smart
animals, too.</p>
<p>Stay warm, all! Snowing again here in Missouri.</p>
