I'm in SE Texas. Our deep freeze is just beginning. The interenet says it's snowing right now. My weather Rock says it is not. My weather Rock is ALWAYS right. And my weather Rock doesn't go down when the electricity and/or internet do.
I've been watching the forecast temperature for tonight keep dropping. Now it's down to 14 degrees. That's about 10 degrees under the typical coldest day of a typical decade and the second coldest I can remember.
I think the coldest day ever recorded when I was younger was in 1899, but still in double digits. Then a freak arctic blast plunged us down to about 5 degrees and it didn't get past 9 degrees for that day's high. After that, it warmed up. I remember that event because I thought it was amazing that the High that day was lower than the prior record low.
Anyway, I haven't heard any precipitation lately so it's either stopped or turned to snow.

But just after I posted this, the thunder began.
We now have a thin layer of frozen rain and/or sleet, but no snow yet. But My car ain't going anywhere for a couple of days at least.
Still in the mix zone. You know it's not snow when you hear it hitting the roof.
