First hand in Tyler, Texas
Well......it's been perfectly awful. Pretty cold and yucky on Sunday, but the bad stuff started hitting late Sunday night....that was also President's Day, so it was a federal holiday. Really could hardly pull out of the driveway on Monday or Tuesday. Super wicked freezing rain on Wednesday for much of the day. Really just hunkered down on Monday and Tuesday.....scary stuff for Texas! --Bddpaux (talk) 16:58, 18 February 2021 (UTC)


 * As of 10:58AM on Thursday.....no precipitation falling. Just thick ice on the streets, with minimal traffic. --Bddpaux (talk) 16:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
