Yup restaurants in Lafayette are closing for tomorrow

Just got word tonight we'll be closed Wednesday also. The high tommorrow is not expected to get above
30. Whatever comes down is going to stick. The low Tues night/Wed morning says 18. If anything does melt
it will quickly refreeze

It's dropped to 12 degrees here in Virginia tonight. It's been a while since it was last this cold. We haven't had much snow here the last 5 years or so.

My better half is freaking out about freezing pipes. Every pipe outside is well wrapped. Got two faucets running a thin stream inside. And on top of that … local temps aren’t going to drop THAT low.

Don’t you pretty much need to have sustained temperatures in the low 20s or high teens to really have pipes freeze? We’re getting snow, but we’re not getting those kinds of temperatures.

Any old arse folks talking about "that hawk is coming"?

It depends on how long the temp is below 32. If it is below that for 12 hours or more your pipes could freeze.

All of my outdoor pipes are underground and I don't think I have to worry about the ones under the sink. lol Unless my yard becomes a tundra, I'm probably good to go.

First snowflakes started falling about 15 minutes ago in Gonzales. Not quite cold enough to stick yet but the snowpocalypse has officially begun.

Same here, but it's sticking a bit. Just a light dusting atm.

I see a bit on the ground on my backyard cam, and it was kind of fun to see snow flurries flying at my doorbell cam

Going to the bathroom just now was no fun though, that room doesn’t really the heater well

Reminds me of New Years Eve in 2000.
First night home from the hospital when I had Guillain-Barre'
Had my parents set me up in a chair outside wrapped up in blanket and let the snow fall on me.
It was the most peaceful and serene feeling
