Hacksawhero123 351 #4 Posted December 18, 2016 My AC is actually running right now. Looks like a typical Texas weekend in which we can experience multiple seasons in one weekend. Mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,249 #5 Posted December 18, 2016 I am not cold at all. Hot water baseboard heat is the way to go. We had some rain to wash the salt off the roads, and it looks like it will be in the mid 20's most of today. So, time for a motorcycle ride to the bike open house 8 miles up the road. I can ride for an hour in the thirties, a half hour in the twenties, and 10 minutes in the low teens and after that it is not really very fun. If I had heated gloves, single digits and sunny days with no wind would be no challenge at all. I have an old school Vetter fairing and tall windscreen and that makes a world of difference. Maybe i am nuts, but breathing in cold air makes me feel stronger. It is really about the clothing you wear. Carhartt zero zone are the clothes to have....I really am a wuss in the heat and humidity, so I guess it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 5,706 #16 Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) We got an inch of ice around 20 years ago. Knocked out miles of hydro poles and even toppled the big high voltage towers. I was lucky and had power after only 2 weeks, others were out for a month or more. I lost a lot of my trees, my TV antenna bent. I spent the night in the basement fearing that a tree or two would fall on the house. A large hunk of a Maple tree in the back yard broke off and the branches did hit the house making a lot of noise. House was not damaged however. Two days after the storm it went above freezing and I was able to get my cars out of the garage due to such a thick layer of ice on the garage doors that they would not open. Next door neighbor came over with his old Case backhoe and pushed the branches out of the driveway because they were too heavy with ice to lift. I hope to never see that much ice ever again.
