Lights are flickering, but the power is still on. If it goes out, the place is "overheated" so it shouldn't get cold quick, I've got 6 MREs, a radio full of batteries, and a cellphone with at least two days of power.
As someone who lived in Pennsylvania for five years:
1) The weather isn't anything. I've driven in worse to go to work when I lived in PA. But...
2) This happens so rarely in Central and South Texas (this is the first major ice storm since 2001), that we don't budget much for winter trucks. Austin is actually running out of sand for the roads. Most of the roads are untreated. THAT'S what makes this so dangerous around here.
Beware of other drivers. That's what's dangerous in NC, the huge volume of people that either don't take ice seriously, or simply lose their minds at the sight of anything white on the ground.
