Weird weather

Only issue out of the whole freeze we had was the Husky’s outside water bowl froze solid. Next door neighbor didn’t set his endless water heater to freeze mode so it wouldn’t freeze. He had two pipes split, but at least only a quick fix.
I have been without running water for two days. Too many people out here in the woods left for Christmas without draining their homes. I live near a major lake with summer homes. So the water company can't keep the pressure up, so they just shut everything down.

"We haven't had any significant snow in Halifax, in fact less than two centimetres for the whole month," Abraham said in an interview Friday. "It's quite remarkable since the normal December snowfall for Halifax is around 45 centimetres."
On the surface, it might be a nice thing not to have to deal with snow, but I'm concerned for the effect it'll have in the long term. Tick season, for example, will be worse than ever if the snow doesn't properly cull their numbers as it usually does.

Aside from some barely light dustings, this is the first major snowfall we're seeing this season. It's been a warmer than usual winter.
As a winter hater, that's good.
As someone concerned about climate change, that's scary.

The view from my office right now.
It’s only rain here, a mere 2400 miles southwest of you.
Is that all? You're basically next door to me!

Tornadoes struck the Houston area yesterday (not anywhere near me):
It was really near one of my brothers. He just lost power all night.
It did about 40K damage to my mom's old house (where my brother is living now)
We don't have a single emoji to say "That's funny!" and "That sucks, I'm sorry" at the same time. But if we did, that's what I would click for you.
Speaking of the emojis, and to bring up something that really doesn't matter at all, can we separate the brofist and hug? I feel like they look way too similar and are way too close while having very opposite intents and there have definitely been a few times I've initially hit one when I meant the other
Aaaand, we're back. At least for now.
The looks like was much less an issue than just their proximity to one another, on the theme I use hug has a white square on a dark background that set it apart enough really, and it was easily corrected once I made the error, but there had been a few times where I hit brofist on a hug post and felt like a giant ass when I realized. A minor inconvenience but thanks none the less!
3 days of 33-38 degree weather with constant rain and drizzle. Fucking sucks. Like snow already!
I don’t think either of us are going to see snow from this. This crap is all misty and just crappy when it doesn’t even show on radar.
There is about that much ice all over north Texas. Dallas/Ft Worth is at an absolute standstill right now.Hey, we just got our first measurable snow fall today! It was a half-inch, but that's ...something.

Large parts of Texas are just ice right now:
I've got a red oak limb sitting in my front yard that's probably 7 or 8 feet long and thicker than my thigh.
heh
It's gonna be fookin' cold this weekend.
(This is in Celsius, of course)
