Glad you made it home


Fortunately I didn’t have to drive because my car is in the shop; the husband picked me up. I’m glad he left our son at his mom’s because I was cussing the whole time.

The pharmacy was in pre-hurricane mode today. Everyone was overreacting and impatient to stock up on drugs and alcohol.

Temp doesn't need to be above 32 for the ice on the roads to melt if it's sunny. The asphalt and concrete warms up faster than the air. We should be fine Thursday morning.


Good point, didn't think of it that way on the ground.

It didn’t get out of the mid 20s in the northern part of the state on Tuesday. The sun only peeked out occasionally, but a good amount of the snow on the ground melted, especially the streets.

Elevated roads and bridges are another matter. I’m sure many are going to be a mess later this morning.

Got a little snow in Uptown NOLA. Power went off, but came back on.

This morning was the first and last time I will ever drive on any icy roads, never again.

I've done it up North plenty of times, but this was way worse. Infrastructure, etc not prepared and neither was/is my vehicle. Had quite a few close calls.

Nothing falling. Everything that fell yesterday is solid now. Crunches under foot.

I tracked a motherfrickin cat from the slough behind my house. Sumbitch looks like it got into my shed first, then probably on the engine block of one of the vehicles, then wandered off down to the bayou (which is frozen on the surface), and went who-gives-a-frick where.
