DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

That's exactly what I needed. Have somebody over there that's asking if it is advisable to get out. She's got no power and was going to go to her daughter's in Plano.

 

I did a little bit in regular 2wd and while I didnt have any issues outside of occasional tire spin, I just felt way more confident and stable going around turns with the front tires having power as well.

 

Holy crap, thought I was looking at Lake Michigan there for a sec.

 

I'm in Stillwater, they have been cutting power but besides that we are good. we did get 4-5 inches last night. My truck drives good in the snow, 4wd and 33” really do help in the snow

 

what lake is that?

 

Never seen anything like it in my life. Lived down south all my life. Haha looks like I drove to Anchorage. But its here in our backyard!

 

Lake Ray Hubbard

 

“Covered in snow, but driveable.”

 

Can confirm.

 

Thanks for the report. She's got a front wheel drive Lexus I think, and probably all season tires. And she lives in a hilly area.

 

Well I now know what it feels to have power. Oh wait not really. Our power came on earlier for about 30-40 minutes and has been off since. We have not had power since early Monday morning and I thought they said rolling power outages. If they turn a switch on and I get power why has it taken so long for these so called rolling outages. Oh well at least I still have a little bit of wood. I am ready for things to get a little bit better.

 

They're repairing/switching on transmission lines and generators and repairing damaged parts of both. As they do that, power may come on and then either something else fails or the demand exceeds capacity and it shuts down again.
At this point they (power supply and ERCOT) can't make a realistic projection for when things will be back together.

 

So the friend in Rockwall just got her power back on. They're boiling water and cooking while they have power. They turned the heat on and their interior temp is now 41*.

 

Forgot to post this from last month in Cushing post snow melt.
I'll be back up there soon. This bumper is great!

 

We actually had power all night and so far all day today.

 

I even managed to get my taxes done since I haven't been to work all week!!!!

 

lol same did mine over the weekend. Still waiting on a check from 2019... Was supposed to get here this week. lol Not happening with the snow that's for sure

 

Hope you guys are staying warm. my old pad in Prosper looking like the frozen tundra.

Stay safe

 

I already got an email saying the money should be here in 21 days

 

Nice. Mine never get approved that quickly. I got the email on the 13th saying mine was accepted, but it usually takes a month before it gets approved.
