Cool piece there! I love IWC pilot watches.

Well, I don’t think you get snow in Texas as much we do here in Toronto.

Damn that watch is hot! I miss my ceramic IWC pilot.

Great shot, strange to see snow on the Weber!

Come to Oz Chip that would look good at the beach.

Do you really have snow in Texas.

I have never seen snow in the cowboy movies?

Coldest weather since 1912, and no infrastructure to cope with it.
It’s been pretty crappy, with lots of blackouts. I have friends that have been with no power for nearly 20 hours!
The other day we had a 135 cars pileup on an over pass, with 7 dead and 65 hospitalised.

It’s been about negative 12 celcius to negative 20, with even colder wind chill.

Brrrr.

Coldest since 1912 and almost a foot of snow!

This was my street last night, before the heavy snow started.

It’s quite big at 44.5 but it doesn’t wear huge due to being so matte.
Here are some comparison shots with my 41mm Spitfire, and on my 6.75 inch wrist.

21 on this one, which kinda sucks.
BUT. IWC straps are so nice and they have so many choices that I don’t see myself going aftermarket any time soon.

Large parts of Houston had power shut down for several hours. My power shut down around 7:50am and didn't come back on until 3:30pm. I have no running water at the moment.

I’m in Dallas.
Houston is affected as well, and I have a friend in San Antonio that’s been powerless for going on 20 hours.

I hear you man.

I’m trying to leave all faucets running a little, even if the sound drives me bonkers lol.

I’ve been lucky here in the N Dallas suburbs, no power loss for me. But, I have friends a mile away that have been with no power most of the day.

Ceramic is a great insulator LOL.
Almost always feels warm(ish).
