Not Happy About Weather In The South This Weekend

[Gators North]

South Carolina northern coast here, we are watching it carefully too! It's been so cold, I don't even want to imagine our power and natural gas bill!

Yeah, my electric bill for January was almost $400.

We use "budget" billing, so we pay the same amount each month. They average the gas and electric over a year. I have done this for years.

That’s a good idea. I need to look into this with my electric company.

The weather seems to be getting more extreme. Rain storms are more like drenching rivers of rain, snow storms are either barely a dusting or blizzards that last hours with feet of snow.

We had a windstorm here, that was crazy, hurricane winds, for hours on end. Nothing like that usually happens here, maybe a few gusts, but not sustained wind for hours.

I don't know. Does it seem that way to others?

We have these kind of ice storms every few years here in Mississippi. Its just something we know can happen. The last really bad one was in '94.

We finally have water today. Still saying we likely won’t have power until Sunday. Plus, there is the other storm coming on Friday. Praying they get our power back on early by some miracle!
