  1. He disappeared during the worst of #WinterStormElliot, and I was afraid something terrible had happened, but he showed up again this morning.

    I'm so pleased. As soon as the weather is reliably warm overnight, I'll try trapping again.

    He's young and wants to be friendly. I need to get him neutered and vaccinated. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #FeralCats

  2. I live at the bottom of the #Appalachian Mountains in #Ohio on the #OhioRiver

    We officially had a #Blizzard during #ArcticBlast #BombCyclone #Elliot #WinterStormElliot

    Now comes a very quick thaw and floods off the mountain right past my side door to the Ohio River.

    Making matters worse, after the last few years we've had, the ground is not prepared for flash #snowmelt #flooding.

    That's what is scary. #Climate #ClimateChange #Weather

  3. 'Travel insanity': passengers stranded by #WinterStorm via @RawStory

    I understand people's frustrations, but can you really get mad at airlines for an unprecedented #BombCyclone #ArcticBlast #Elliot winter storm

    I feel sorry for people who were stranded because of travel BEFORE the storm hit and they weren't able to factor #WinterStormElliot into their travel decisions

    For people that flew anyway, after the forecast warned of the storm, suck it up buttercup

  4. It was -2 degrees Fahrenheit here this morning. I can't ever recall it being that cold here.

    The heat pump decided to run on auxiliary heat for part of the night, so I'm dreading the electric bill when it arrives. Despite all precautions, several pipes froze.

    Feeling fortunate to have heat though, and a roof over our heads. #Gratitude #IceStorm #WinterStormElliot

  5. The heat pump is running nonstop, and it still can't keep it above 61 inside. I'm having to bust out some space heaters.

  6. @climatenews "In February 2021, a polar vortex descended on the Great Plains, extending as far south as Texas, leaving more than 4.5 million homes and businesses without power and resulting in the deaths of more than 170 people. Studies have since linked the severe winter outbreak to climate change.(*) Due to the fact that the Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth, those higher temperatures have been shown to disrupt the behavior of polar vortices, weakening them so that they wander south over the continental U.S."

  7. AUSTIN AREA- Update from CBS Austin meteorologist Avery Tomasco. TLDR- state grid is holding, outages are due to local providers having wind related issues. We should be okay, but it may get tight as the day goes on.

    Personal note- fuck Greg Abbott and fuck everyone who voted the ass back into office. #txwx #winterstormelliot #atxwx

  8. Central Texas is one big trauma response tonight as we all twitch while power flickers. Or if you’re out of town, you compulsively check your smart thermostat…#WinterStormElliot #ptsd

  9. Still 40F degrees and dry in Mentor-on-the-Lake. It's 8:19pm now. The front is supposed to move through at 4am for me. Rain will probably start around 2-3am.

  10. Even though she bought 'winter storm bread' yesterday, the wife just headed out for another loaf of bread, gallon of milk and dozen eggs

    I'm so glad we have a whole-house, LP generator that will get us through the next few days. Important for my feeding tube pump

    We live in rural #Appalachian #Ohio, just east of #Cincinnati

    When the power goes out, we're the last to get fixed. Sometimes days
