Roads were completely covered today, but not difficult to get around. Traffic was very light with only a truck or two running up & down US59. 9 degrees now @ 10:20PM ( feels like -5) Note: Already got my old Gunsmoke coffee pot set up on the stove for tomorrow just in case we lose electricity... “A country boy Can Survive...” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 It’s 13 down here. Record is 10 in 1889. Had an inch or two of rare snowfall. Gators don’t like the snow. I like it a heckuva lot better than freezing rain. Praise the Lord, no power loss yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called my parents this morning, who live at Flatwoods in Panola County said it got down to -2. Crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyZuco Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Was -3 at the house this morning, swimming pool and pond can be ice skated on--and I weigh 235.. Have electricity, internet up and down, but haven't had water in 2 days--breaking ice, using pool water for the toilets. So all in all, pretty good days. LOL.

I’m going on 62 years old, & this is the coldest temp & most snow I have ever seen in Panola County. 1983 (or ‘86) was cold & so was 1996, but this tops both of those.
