Looks like a big winter even is coming down south. Who loses? There can only be one.

My money is on AA. Looks like it could potentially hit DFW and CLT, and potentially DCA.
 
I was looking forward to some reroute pay but thanks to mom’s diagnosis of bronchitis and a lack of morning child care I’ll be out on state sick leave enjoying this one from my dining room as I watch over the various masonry and other work being done on my pool installation.
 
I get back to ATL from a 2-day St. Lucia late Friday night….just have to make it home and then watch the operation implode from the comfort of my couch, beer in hand.

I probably do, because if I can make it to my 0630 shift Sunday morning I am betting I am stuck at work until at least Monday morning because the later shifts won’t be able to make it in. Am probably going to develop the flu Saturday night.

It might snow here. I can drive in snow, I'm not sure about the neighbors on this hill.

Thought about you earlier. All I know about you is you're from SoCal and now in south Texas. Your competence in snow driving is useless here for the reason you guessed - your neighbors. Nobody down here understands the first thing about driving in this crap. South of the metroplex (where I am - about 100 miles southeast) it will be mostly ice and nobody can drive on that anyway. Other items to consider - homes down here aren't built or insulated for extended cold. Open your cabinet doors under sinks, drip faucets, and get faucet covers for outside faucets.

As for the grid - who knows. It's a crapshoot based on demand and how much of the state is really cold and who ERCOT decides to turn off. There was a lot of fanfare about "fixing the grid" after the last mass die-off but nobody really believes they did jack sh*t. Also, lots of crypto and datacenters have come online since then so grid demand is greater. The grid is a man made disaster if it happens but the natural disaster you can't really plan on is more likely - fallen trees from freezing rain falling on power lines. Make sure you have some charging bricks for your phones to charge if you lose power. If you're lucky you're on a grid circuit with a hospital or fire station nearby and ERCOT won't cut you off because they won't kill the power to those things. Plus it won't be as cold for as long as 2021 so I'm not really concerned.
 
I'm leaving Friday to do the DTW to FL shuttle on the stretch 757 all weekend so I should avoid the worst of it in ATL. Depending on how bad it is on Monday I'll probably be affected on my penalty lap, and more worryingly driving home afterwards since the roads are always full of black ice. Seeing how SJI has flopped during big ATL IROPs last year, my bet is on them unfortunately.
 
If history is any judge, the weather will find some unique way to screw us, and there will probably be some mysterious government action on top of that, and probably a meteor that decides to take out part of T5 at JFK, because this is the kind of luck we have.

There are days I feel legit bad for our CEO.

I'm likely gonna commute on Friday since my normally-commutable Saturday will be anything but.
