Everyone is having a panic after what happened with Texas last year around this time. We have a freeze warning in place tonight, and I know there are winter storms hitting my family back in Colorado already.
Right now it's pouring rain and well... unlike in Colorado where rain would dry up in 4 minutes and become an irrelevant event, here in Texas we get puddles for weeks! Those will be ice tonight.
I'm mainly scared about the drive home tonight. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little concerned for the pipes at home and living in an apartment on the ground floor. I hope no bursts or floods come of this! ono

Good thing my warm comforter came in already that I ordered. lol

Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnd
I'm off today!
\o/
gaming day!

@Koah:
Funny thing about that, my cat is obsessed with water. So leaving the faucets to drip at night has had her so hyper focused that she hasn't been pestering me in my sleep as much this week :vanora_xd:
(she's still a kitten, always wants to play)
That has been real nice lmao

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah, I'm glad we didn't try it yesterday. Cause my job didn't actually close, for some reason, even though the rest of the city did (we are obv not "essential" workers, and even then no one should be out in that!) but my manager offered me to stay in so I said YUP

Today we were to be back to normal hours, running like "normal" even though the ice has not gone away at all, if anything its more solid today. Texas doesn't salt the roads here or anything, probably dont have any equipment on hand for this. So it lingers.
I tried going to work while forgetting this detail, and had a good ol panic attack (partner was driving thank goodness), turned around and gave up. So... at home day 2. The city is extra closed today but my job is extra open. Why? DONT KNOW! lol

@Q t e a p o n:
Oh boy, stay safe there! I know canada is bound to be more prepared than texas, but still!
By the forecast it should let up after today. The sun just came out too, so maybe it'll get a little warmer than predicted! I hope the rest of the state is doing ok though, I'm certainly not in the worst area
