Winter Threat January 18-24 do ya wanna build a snowman??

2" mostly sleet. 1/2" shy of the record set in 1958.

It's pretty sad when lows in the 20s is a warm up. I'm pretty certain I'm going to freeze to death for my lovely wife.
 
All 50 states have had snow. Last time that happened was February 2010 per TWC. This would also be the first time this has happened on record in January.
 
And the water mains start breaking. Every time a contractor hits rock they put it too shallow and if no one catches them, they get away with it. It's a relatively inexpensive utility to install so blasting rock is not worth it to the contractor, not all lines are inspected and not all inspectors are not corrupt. Sad to see - such a simple thing to do correctly. May not be easy or cheap but it's really not complicated. The good contractors point it out to the municipality when it happens and either re-route it if possible or adjust the contract to include blasting and hauling off rock so they get paid for the extra work.
