My liquor cabinet filled up before the food did this last week.
Anyone driven across the IH-30 Lake Ray Hubbard bridge today?
This is the worst outcome I've read about this storm. Have you tried Cointreau Noir in your margs by chance?double aught said:
Ran out of Cointreau recently without noticing. Haven't been able to make a proper margarita for days.
I bought that by mistake last time and rolled with it. Adds a smoother flavor. Has Brandy in it.
dry curacao? Haven't tried this. Typically use Grand Marnier and Cointreau......(to further derail this weather thread....)Decay said:Two types of tequila, triple sec, dry curacao, Cointreau, simple syrup. lime juice, and light agave on handAbsolute said:The more important question is how is your alcohol cabinet?

We have probably made 50 different kinds of marg in the last two years. So yeah it's a nice change. I think it needed more sweetener compared to cointreau or triple sec if I'm not mistaken
Of the 50 kinds, what is the formula for the "go to 'rita"?
Two parts tequila, one part Cointreau, one part lime juice over rocks with salt. A margarita

Two parts tequila, hold the Cointreau, hold lime juice, no ice.
A perfect tequila
Anyone know how 121/183 is doing? Considering heading somewhere later but wouldn't be back until late tonight...don't want to chance a refreeze
Long range models are pretty similar to the summer hurricane models - anything more than 5 days out is likely going to change quite a bitEnviroag02 said:
Seems to be some discussion regarding a Valentines Day or just after winter event on Storm2k. Anybody got a feel for how it will play out?
Uh, here's my latest experiment.
1 oz lime juice
1/2 oz agave syrup
1/2 oz water (or shake with ice)
1 oz triple sec
3 oz tequila
And then I serve it over ice with a twist of orange peel.
...it ain't normal. Like I said I have been playing with it for a while.

I have not been out so this is nothing but a huge guess, but my mid-cities side street with very little traffic is already clear. After the sun came out and the temp got above 30, and as someone said the wind helped, I think the ice on roads traveled either went to the side or dried up. I don't think there will be anything on the main part of the road to refreeze. Just on the sides, especially as more people get out.
Drove through sleet, ice, and snow Wednesday and now the furnace is out at the cabin. We are running space heaters and a roaring fire and got the place up to 50, but it was 34 in the great room this morning.
Now you're telling me when I return we will be having another storm?

Not before it gets up to 70. Maybe 80 degrees first
Thanks, I will try that.Decay said:

For awhile I was going with 1/3 tequila, 1/3 light agave syrup and 1/3 fresh squeezed lime juice on the rocks. Sometimes I would add a little water to thin it out, and occasionally a splash of Grand Marnier.
Mine's boozy compared to that so feel free to adjust. I'm sure if I tried some simpler ones it'd taste fine but I've gone too far to see the light anymore
Just got out to go to the Y. Streets almost dry. But Y is closed. Surprised.
Weather guys totally missed saying just little melt today. Good chance nothing will he left here in a hour.

One frozen exterior bib at the moment....hoping for the best....expecting the "worst"....this one I had to replace last February too...if it is bad will need to figure out something different for this bib...can't have this be an annual event...
All my bibs froze last year with no damage.
i lost 2 last year....replaced both...one is free flowing but it is connected to our house...the one that is currently frozen is connected to garage walls....IF it freezes again going to need to look into some way to insulate...
No, bumping to hopefully get an answer as well. This was on 30 coming into Rockwall earlier (not my video).AW 1880 said:

GFS model for week of the 14th has backed off and now barely shows even any rain happening. Cold front doesnt make it out of Oklahoma. Matches up with Weather.com's forecast. This was our snow event for the year.
There it is right there. But put just a little sugar in it sometimes.GAC06 said:

And the lime juice is fresh squeezed, no questions.
Just drove to get a Covid test to hopefully fly out to Jamaica tomorrow.
Streets around Near Southside / Ryan Place to the TCU area are pretty much clear. Things are rapidly melting.

Not quite a purist's Marg but have been using this for years:
2 oz Tequila, 3/4 oz Triple Sec/Cointreau, 1.5 oz Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice, splash of sweet and sour, over ice.
If you want it smoother add a splash of Amaretto, but it's also much sweeter, may have to cut back on the sweetened lime juice or use real lime juice.

My drive way is completely shaded so took it upon myself to clear all the snow ice away with a shovel so we can leave tomorrow morning. Damn neighbor a few houses down (her driveway totally melted from direct sun) came over and complained that I was making too much noise with my shovel.
Just drove from Midlothian to Love Field. Roads weren't bad at all other than a couple icy bridges. Many stretches were not only melted but now dry.

Should have said it's more quiet when you use it to bury bodies in your flowerbed
We made it to sundown and freezing weather with quite a bit of snow still in the yard

Really? Good thing I would have been too stunned to hit her with said shovel. What is wrong with people?
Did they cancel school yet?
Made it through this whole thing without a drop of alcohol. Not really on purpose - just didn't get around to it.
Anyone know how 75 and 45 are? Basketball game starts at 3 today so I would ideally leave around 11.
