Blizzard-Ice Storm January 23-26, 2026

Power just blinked three times, just a matter of time now.

Hope your power stays on. Power loss is my only fear in these weather events. Single digit temperatures tonight and not above freezing for the next week.

Went for a drive today in the Texas "snow". Had a little fun, maybe too much fun lol. I noticed when I got on the brakes a little harder and the wheels started to break loose that my brake pedal would vibrate and make an audible noise. Almost like a frog. Thoughts? Had the truck for a year and never felt or heard this before.

That is your antilock brakes doing what they do.

That is what it is supposed to do, its ABS working the way it should, pumping the breaks

TN & MS areas with a lot of ice and downed trees. Looks like MS got hit pretty hard and tress falling on cars. I heard on another feed that some in parts of LA heard a lot of thunder while it was sleeting there. Crazy storm!

You mean that noise from the footwell that sounds like your CV axle bearings are being put through a garbage disposal and the sensation in your foot that makes you think your brakes are failing, then working, then failing, and then working again?

You should probably get that looked at.

Kidding! All normal ABS activity.

I stepped out to see what looked like snow in my front yard was. It's 4+ inches of refrozen snow cone. Each scoop on my drive probably weighs 40lbs. No ice damage here though: just a glaze. People just south of me are dealing with power outages and lots of broken limbs.

I shoved a bunch of stuff around, so the Ranger could sleep in the garage with my wife's Ascent.

You forgot about how they broadcast the vibration frequencies through the stereo system to make it sound 10x worse so you don't do it again .

I asked her if she wanted to go out to check the snow depth again. Got this look and she declined

I heard the 10R80 makes the EXACT same noise when it grenades.

Nope and he never will realize how ignorant he is. Walking talking garbage.

Not so ignorant. He knew exactly what he was doing and got rich off it. He also managed to distract and redirect US/world policy. We are still feeling the effects with carbon taxes, etc driving decisions.

We feel his influence every time our trucks shut off at a light.
