Lookin good here, now. Lots of sun. Our thermometers are showing temps well into the 50's.

Lots of snow/ice melting, except where it's shaded from the sun.

Our dog was taking a siesta in the warm sunshine, up against our house, on the East side. When he heard me out front, he came around to see what was happnin. Since he'd just woke up, he had to stretch. First the front end, then the rear end, then he had a big yawn.

Still lots of ice on our Parish & private road. Our mailbox is right at the South end of the Parish gravel road. This is the only time TJ & I can remember that we didn't get a single mail delivery for an entire week. I suppose the rural mail carriers have a choice as to whether they will deliver on the icy roads. OR, the local P.O. may have been closed all week. Don't know, since we haven't been to town this week.

About a foot of snow on the ground and temps in the 20's here, normal winter. We use mostly coal power power in my area.

Still winter weather in Montana, but not hard core as they can be. I am in the process of buying 10 acres in New Mexico to spend winters at. 6000' elevation, but still gets 50 in January in the day. Cold at night, I don't care.

Is Birmingham, AL affected in a bad way? I've had a Rock Auto shipment stuck there for a while now.

They basically have the same weather we do here in Prescott at 5,000 feet elevation. 65 degrees here today and it's February. Our normals throughout winter are usually in the 50's for highs and 20's for lows. Very little snow that usually melts off the next day.

Coming from Montana it'll be like summer vacation for you. We came from Ohio with -20 wind chills and feet of snow, so it's easy to deal with.

Yesterday Bham started out with a lite rain, then the sun popped out and the temp went to the low 60's. Today, the Chamber of Commerce would be proud. Sunny, blue skies and low 70's. LAST week the temp dropped down into the teens 2 mornings and Monday the 15th it did snow, but that was gone by noon. We've got a package stuck 4 blocks down the street from us at the local FedEx store. 8 days tracking shows it's there. The people on the phone say FedEx is plugged up initially because of last weeks weather (Memphis hub) and this morning because of.....plumbing issues at the hub. A bit skeptical, my brother confirmed that with a friend at FedEx.

My brother in law is in Ash Fork area, south west of town. Land we are waiting on close on is other end from you of the big high country plateau (Mogollon Rim and into New Mexico). Gila NF, Reserve NM. You have it right, summer vacation compared to here.

I just heard on the news this all started since Texas is separated so to speak from the rest of the country when it comes to power supply. They are independent. I forget what they called it now, but in the event of a real issue like you are having now there is no real back up plan or other course of action. I was shocked and surprised to hear that.

Hoping it all works out for you

Mogollon Rim is absolutely beautiful country over there. We call it the mini grand canyon

Default Almost Gone

Here are the last 2 patches of ice/snow that we know of. They are on the North side of our house, which remains in the shade all day. 69° now. Hit mid 70's today.

TJ took these pics just before 3pm today. It's about 6:45 here now, & these 2 patches are still there.

Don't know if there'll be any left by morning, or not. This has to be the longest period of time any snow/ice has remained on the ground, on our property, that I can remember.
