Where did you hear this? EPA mandated oxygenated fuels are ONLY in the summer (gotta hit R-bob RVP by May 1 in TX). The gasoline in the winter is the plain ole gasoline that has been around since going lead free.

Hope those of you in Texas get through this weather system without damage to your homes. All you can do is the best that you can do. Brutally cold up here, it’s -12° as I type this at 0730. Supposed to moderate starting tomorrow. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Well we picked the worst weekend possible to visit Austin, all the places we had planned to visit are closed today because of the weather. So we decided to. Is it the ER as it seems the wife has a kidney stone. This has not been the weekend getaway we had hoped for haha.

Ercot is warning of possible power brown outs later today. Interesting times in Tx. I'm sure some of our northern members are getting a kick out of this. But us Texans are pretty warm blooded. We don't do cold weather well! | |||

I stayed awake all night. Smow is umbelievable. Faucets were dripping all night but one bathroom faucet is not dripping cold water. This is worrisome. I am considering shuttong off the water and draining the pipes and hot water heater. The pipes run over the ceiling and I am not sure heat suffices. There is insulation that prevents clambering in the attic. Sigh... "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

How long did your outage last dry-fly? Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

I would send you some heat if I could. I was up all night monitoring faucets. The garage and attic are surprisingly not freezing. Maybe the pipes will hold.

Probably about the same here in the Tyler area, went off for a bit then came back on then right back out again. I never checked the time but it’s been a while. Fireplace going now. | |||

We've been having double digit below zero temps, so single digits below zero would be a nice warm up. _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

We have friends in the Austin area, they had 8 inches of snow, 8 degrees, and their power went out. All the money and effort you put into emergency prep is wasted . . . until one day . . .
