We've been without electricity since 4 PM on Thursday. We called yesterday morning and our electric company, the Cotton Electric co-op, told us that all their substations were out and it would be days until we got electricity back.
Our house is 100% electric. We came down to Wichita Falls yesterday and will go back tomorrow. Cotton Electric's outage map is here: MilSoftOMS |

Here's my front yard. Supposedly about 7-8 inches ontop of ice. Looks like one brave soul tried to get down the road at some point. Last edited by MJ4H : 01-30-2010 at 09:21 AM. |

I like to make fun of southern folk for not being able to handle snow, but I think I will give you guys a pass on this one.

Ended up with about 4" on the back porch when I checked at breakfast this morning, but could have been a little more since it's somewhat sheltered by the house and the trees in the yard. However, it's been mostly sleet since dawn this morning when I first heard the sleet pelting our windows and driving me out of sleep. It's not expected to totaly finish until later tonight now and so I think we'll end up between 5 and 6" between all the snow and sleet. We'll be going through a couple of days of thaw-freeze cycles, as well, as temps will creep to freezing tomorrow and then plunge to the low teens tomorrow night. I may be one of the few to get to work on Monday since I've got 4x4 and I'm used to driving in this from my days in Michigan.
