Cold here in E Texas this morning 24. We are predicted to drop to around 4 Monday morning., and about 120 hours total below freezing which is rare. No snow yet but it is supposed to be coming, so will get my generator out and hooked up later this morning. Last month we had a heavy wet snow, that brought down some live oak limbs and took the line from the transformer to my neighbors house across the street down, and in the process ripped all the connections off the transformer, which also serves our house. We had to wait until a service came out and trimmed tree limbs away from power lines before the power company would come out and restore the lines and power. It was a godsend to have a big generator. I have seen snow, sleet, and freezing rain predicted for this week so want to be prepared This will be extremely rare, two major winter storm events in this part of the country, about 120 miles east and a little south of Dallas.
