Central Texas report.

Rained most of the day yesterday. Temp dropped from low 50's to high 20's around 6PM. Established a nice ice layer. Inch of sleet followed. 2 inches of snow from 12-3 today. Expecting another round of sleet and more snow later today and overnight. Temps don't get above 20 until Monday. Low's in the single digits with some below zero wind chills. Then back in the 40's on Tuesday.

We dodged the freezing rain, which is nice. That shit takes down trees and power lines. Still a chance that could happen tonight into tomorrow.

The power grid is holding up to demand and expected to stay that way. Having grown up in the midwest, this is mild. Our houses and infrastructure aren't really equipped for it down here though. Certainly have to treat it with respect and have a plan. We're prepared for just about anything.

Stay warm RT brothers!
 
Time to warm up!!!!

I drink a lot of stuff. The single Barrel proof rye JD is really good stuff. Never had a "rice whiskey" though, that's interesting.

I'm just giving you shit since JD is a national brand. I've had the barrel proof before and it's pretty good. I just like to buy from local distilleries/breweries when I can.

The rice whiskey doesn't taste that much different from traditional whiskey. It's a slightly different flavor and to me falls more in line with a bourbon. Whatever they do it I find it very smooth and has a good flavor. It's quickly become my favorite whiskey. For the price (about $55/bottle) I haven't found much that outclasses it in that price range.
 
110ºF coming up on Tuesday here. Was 105ºF yesterday. :no:

Don't be sorry mate! You weren't to know.

FWIMBW @thegame has a real knack for coming up with timely, hilarious one-liners.

Noticed that too. I can't drink distilled rice liquor. Instant heartburn.

Hey, at least you've got the "if you can make a girl laugh" bit covered.

If you can bring her to the point of laughter convulsions, maybe that'd be an adequate substitution for an orgasm. :student:
 
All comfy riding out the storm. About 6 inches so far

I been trying to get the old lady drunk and naked in front of the winter AC.
She won't comply at this hour of the day.

Stocked up on Chinese food last night.
Have enough bourbon and weed to last a month
