After the last Texas winter fiasco, I'd hope most of y'all would be prepared for this.
I'm hoping we get dumped on up here in Ohio, but we'll probably only get rain that turns to ice followed by an inch or two snow. Booor-ring. |

Gearing up for potentially busy couple days fixing well systems.
Frozen top side stuff not a big deal.. frozen top side stuff with downhole pump running… big fucking deal. Pump keeps spinning and water has nowhere to go. Pump boils water, melts drop pipe and maybe even the casing. If your above ground pipes freeze, shut your pump off until they thaw! |

I'm actually headed home to Amarillo from my work rotation in Denver on Friday.
Got a weather alert today stating "Dangerous Wind Chill" -50° possible wind-chill in this area for Wed-Fri. Now I climb cell towers....outside....in the cold, but I told my foreman, "Bro we better have some shelter work on Thursday because I'm not gonna be a popsicle before I go home." |

Oh, you folks will be alright. Last time i was in the home state, i cruised the leading edge of an ice storm after exiting Lawton, OK. Just jumped in behind a sand truck for the worst of it. I did have to bail into a diner in Bowie to break the clumped ice off my winshield wipers. Then hit the road again.
When i was a kid in Bandera, me and the brothers climbed to the top of a big hill called Polly's Peak after the area iced up. Did that just to check the view for fun. Texans get all pussified or something? |

All kidding aside, this isn’t going to be fun for the Deep South. Going into the teens with high winds will push cold air into your houses. The demand for more heat will drive the power needs up causing blackouts. The cold will find pipes too. HUGE difference between 16f and mild wind and 16f with bad winds. It penetrates everything.
Leaving water running can work but it only protects the pipes it’s running through. You’d have to run everything to protect all lines. Running your kitchen faucet doesnt protect wall hydrants or icemaker lines. Use your head and know your plumbing. As a plumber and having an ideal how southern houses are built, this windy cold air is going to be a pipe burst bonanza down south. That and power grid tester. I mean we’re not safe here, we will be close to zero with those damaging winds too. We do build for 4 seasons here so that helps. The Florida pan handle is screwed. But it’s texas that has the isolated power grid that puts them at the top. Its going to be interesting. |
