I’m in SE New Mexico rn, like basically on the west Texas border. Monitoring the outgoing flights to see if I can go home Sunday as planned.

I am home!

Flight was delayed and I was likely to miss my connection but turned out my connection was delayed but I had a significant hike through Denver airport, I made it about a minute before the doors closed. Sat down and 30 seconds later the planed pulled from the gate.

I need to move! Just found out that my street is essentially a pay no mind street . . .

. . . when it comes to plowing snow. Rank 5.

Street rankings

The prioritization of roads for snow and ice removal is based on traffic volume, with consideration for access to public transportation, emergency services and schools.

Snow and ice control plan

Rank 1 streets are the main roads in and out of the city. Examples include Main St., Harrodsburg Road and Newtown Pike. Most Rank 1 roads are also snow emergency routes.
Rank 2 streets, such as Rosemont Garden and Bryan Ave., connect Rank 1 roads and provide access to large commercial areas with offices and stores.
Rank 3 streets are the main collector routes that connect residential areas to Rank 1 and 2 roads. Examples include Zandale Drive, Appian Way and Buck Lane.
Rank 4 streets are local collector streets within subdivisions, which allow residents access to main roads.
Rank 5 secondary streets are city-maintained, smaller neighborhood roads with school bus routes that are addressed as conditions warrant (Service Level 2 or 3).

I was able to shovel enough of my driveway to get back up it last night.

Kind of surprised by that. Really did not want to leave my car outside all night long.

Remote school is a joke on snow days (and others, too)

The old routine was to get a waiver on minimum days of school by saying everything was an emergency. Now they just say it's remote learning and count it as a school day, even if useless.

The local public schools look like they are going to be on remote learning all week long. Meanwhile, the Catholic school my friend's son attends simply closed for the third snow day in a row.

We both agreed that remote learning is bullshit and the public schools call it that simply so they do not have to add extra days at the end of the year.

Something like that. Plus, no commute: no need to break up fights/get hit...

The office was closed yesterday because of the storm. Technically closed today but I needed to get in and work for a while.

Roads are terrible. No plowing at all in my neighborhood. I was able to get out but I am not going to be able to get back up my driveway which has a steep slope. Trying to figure out where best to park my car tonight.

Snowplow truck backed up over our outside cable box

Posted by Potomac <iframe src='https://members.boardhost.com/onedeuce/info/user=Potomac' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on January 27, 2026, 10:25:04, in reply to "Are any of you affected by the massive (predicted)ice storm?"

Yesterday afternoon. Smashed it. Lost internet and TV. We reported it to Comcast / Xfinity and said don't bother sending out some guy to run diagnostics and test connections. The box is broken and there's a cable lying loose.

So of course the guy today was a friendly "house guy" looking for trouble at our house. Had to write a ticket for repair. No sh*t.

The way our neighborhood works is that the cable runs underground and comes up for above ground boxes with a splitter for multiple homes and the originator of cables to each home. Easy to access, easy to damage.

I think they don’t have equipment to deice and keep runways clean. I keep hearing “freezing fog” in the forecast. There’s no rental cars to be had so I can’t get over to the next airport until the weekend if necessary.

Pretty underwhelming so far here. Supposed to get 12-15 inches of snow and ice.

1.6 billion barrels of oil just detected last week in the Permian Basin. My best guess is the solar supports the gas and oil operations here.

On Saturday I will host a trivia contest where I prepared all the material. It’s still on, and I really hope it happens.

You should post some of the questions that stumped people, your "Final Jeopardy" question, etc. *
