  1. BREMCO at almost 10k outages. Power has flickered here a few times. Nearly up to freezing although I suspect Deep Gap down towards Triplet will be below for a while longer. Remeasured and have a solid half inch here in Blowing Rock now. Rates have picked up enough to minimize additional accums I think.

  2. Oh wow so it froze before the filter coming into the house. Yeah I wonder if it froze at the well head?
    Got it back.

    It had froze at the well but I got that took care of right off. Froze at the cutoff to the house (buried but one accessible spot) but I thawed that with a hair dryer. Ran heat tape down the upper end and stuck a heater on the lower end under the house and it finally turned loose.

  3. Yeah it finally let lose around 2 yesterday.  Dang I hope yall get it unthawed. I drained my pipes whenever I found out it was freezing up and I think that helped.
    I drained everything that was still liquid from my filter to the house but below the filter to the well is about 40ft that is half above ground and half below. No clue where it's froze at. Never had it frozen this long before.

  4. Well since the Gulf Coast has topped and just about doubled any single storm total I’ve had the past 3 years, I think it’s only fair for a mountain and foothill crusher between now and April. Just incredible weather day down there and overnight now for our coastal fellows.
    Yeah NOLA has me beat on a single storm going all the way back to 2018. Wild.

    Good news I don't think this winter is anywhere near done yet.

  5. Absolutely crazy to see what's going on on the gulf coast.


    We hit 2.5 this morning for the coldest of the season so far. Tried to hike over in east TN today and the Gentry Creek Falls area is absolutely devastated. Pic below is where I turned around but the rest of the trail was about the same. 20250121_130253.jpg
