Winter Storm Safety

Feb 11, 2021
1 min read

Southeast Texas is experiencing cold winter weather this weekend. Stay safe this weekend and think twice before driving in icy temperatures. The Red Cross provides some helpful tips.


If you do plan to drive when it could be freezing, take extra caution:

  • In your vehicle keep a windshield scraper in case you need to scrape ice off the windshield.

  • Keep your vehicle’s gas tank full so you can leave right away in an emergency and to ensure you have enough fuel to keep warm if you get stuck. Make sure everyone has their seat belts on and give your full attention to the road.

  • Don’t follow other vehicles too closely. Sudden stops are difficult on snowy roadways.

  • Don’t use cruise control when driving in winter weather.

  • Ramps, bridges and overpasses freeze before roadways.

Remember to plan ahead and avoid traveling if it is unnecessary.


One Team. One Vision. One Goal. – Everyone Goes Home Safe!

Hello World posts always make me think about first impressions and how quickly we judge things by appearance. That same instinct shows up in Size It Up daily, where you guess a silhouette against a true-scale reference. Five rounds a day, plus unlimited play, so it stays quick and casual.

Fran's point about designing a career around your own values really resonates, especially in creative fields where your work gets shared everywhere. One small practical note: if you post photos online, metadata like EXIF and C2PA can travel with them. A Metadata Remover can help strip that before sharing. Thanks for this piece.

Bibliometric analysis of modernization research is interesting, especially seeing how Web of Science coverage shapes the picture. For anyone preparing figures or slides from recorded presentations, extracting stills is often tedious. I have used Video to Frames alongside a frames extractor to pull JPGs by interval, which saves time.

Interesting point about how the final product quality often comes down to the little details in manufacturing. Speaking of which, for anyone dealing with a new laptop or monitor, running a quick check for dead pixels black screen is a smart way to catch those tiny defects early and make sure your hardware is truly flawless.

This article’s breakdown of spatial planning is really practical, especially for small rooms. When I need to pull text from a floor plan or a furniture spec sheet for reference, I often use an OCR tool that works locally. The [Texto invisible]Imagen a Texto feature there helps me organize notes without cluttering my saved documents. Thanks for sharing these layout tips.
