Ice was no big thing. In the great Texas tradition I hit the grocery store days in advance and once more at 4 pm on Thursday, by which time many shelves were totally empty. I had firewood stacked inside, on the front porch and in my attached garage, a fire in the woodstove, pot of soup on the stove and the truck full of gas, with antifreeze and PARKED. Just waited til it melted, works great!
Thank you for the welcome :lol:
