Any uptick in excitement with the IA caucus being today?

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Talking about cold I have a question for the braintrust.
My Sister, who lives outside of Austin, TX called me this am asking for advise. It was 16 degrees there and two of her outside faucets were frozen. Their house is on a slab so there is no way to get to the pipes. Any suggestion from the hive on how to best protect their faucets? She didn’t have any hoses attached (thank God) and there is no shut off for that line and is worried going forward.

Thanks!

Snow flurries in Houston's northern suburbs. It's 25 here and falling. We're already 6 deg below weather guesser's forecast for today.

Just made the trek from IAH to home. 40 min & probably a dozen accidents, almost all of them on overpasses.
Even had a rubbernecker manage to 90* his Tacoma while going 12mph in crawling traffic.

And, we're supposed to have a high of 70*F on Thursday...

Close enough

My company has an office in Kilgore & my boss usually stays in Longview instead, when he has to go out there.

I grew up in an area of the country where it was always below zero degrees every winter. Then, when I was almost an adult, we moved here to the Bay Area, CA. There was no such thing as "cold" I always said. But, I've acclimated and now 40 degrees seems very cold. I feel like I've lost something - I used to laugh at the Californians wearing their coats in balmy 40 degree weather... And, now I am one.

It was 64° in Alpine yesterday afternoon. It’s 9° now. Minus 5 with the wind (a little bitty breeze). Supposedly be above freezing by noon and in the 50s by late afternoon. Gonna be interesting to see how many pipes are busted.
