Are you back at work yet? Can you fill bottles there?

I can’t drive the roads. I live on a gravel road which is OK to drive - it takes you to a paved road (and then another paved road depending which way you go) and then the main road. And they only clear up the main road not the small roads. So it’s like driving on an ice skating rink with hills and curves.
The rolling hills of Tennessee are beautiful. Except for right now. 🤬
Work is still called off. If they decide to call it on tonight or even tomorrow I don’t think I would be able to go. The roads won’t be ready yet.

The neighbor that had water... Her ATV froze up. I guess the oil or some thing froze? I don’t think I could’ve handled the trek walking there to pick up water and carry it back.
I guess when the sun came out yesterday it started heating up the outside of the house so there wasn’t so much competition keeping the underside of the house warm.
Work is expecting us to be there at noon- And attempt to make up for the last five days. Believe me I would love to go to work. But I cannot. I cannot get out of this “neighborhood”.
So I guess for the next few hours I will have uncomfortable texts with threats to be fired...

LP When I woke up that day to see the water was not running- the first thing I did was shut off the water heater. I learned that lesson several sleet storms ago. Then I shut off power to the pump/well.
I went under the house and I don’t see any leaky pipes. I’m pretty sure I know where it froze but then again maybe I’m not. But there is no leakage. No signs of burst pipes. The pressure in my faucets and shower have not changed. So I guess all is well. I think.

Hopefully LP is okay. His area got severe flooding. I haven’t seen him posting lately.
A tornado took down some homes on Middle Fork, which is 6 miles from my house. It was kind of surreal to see my county... my area of the county, on national news.

Hey LP! What’s your weather up to? It’s been severe here on and off for the last week. Thursday night was the worst.
I can hear the thunder again right now. 😱
