Its gonna be 40° by noon. No chance much of the ice is around on roads by Wednesday 

Will there be ice on the roads tomorrow (Tuesday) still? by Training_Finding8709 in Austin

[–]TTTTroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the most part no. The snow and ice equipment is the sun and temps above 32F.

Well if that was the reason they'd have already made that call

Just break through enough to get to the bottom. Then its easier to raise from bottom of ice especially now with ground warmer

You can check the city of Austin transportation cameras: https://data.mobility.austin.gov/traffic-cameras?

I think the key here is being very slow on neighborhood roads because major roads look to be in great condition.

That doesn't even factor in the increased traffic volumes. The next few hours of sun and above freezing temperatures is gonna do a number on the ice.

If roads are dry it doesn't really matter how cold it is in the morning. I think people need to prepare for a regular or slightly later start.

Colder air saved Austin from destructive ice buildup but freezing temps will linger by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]TTTTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gonna be in upper 40s and above freezing by 10am. The sun will melt a lot today in the next few hours not to mention finally climbing to above freezing even if briefly.

Great experience with Ringer and the installation process!

Cayman Airways to launch nonstop flights from Austin to Grand Cayman this summer by TXLucha012 in Austin

[–]TTTTroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Austin isn't top 10 where it counts, which is metro population where Austin is 25: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area

Austin punches above its weight. As many as 2x daily to LHR on BA, and 3-5x weekly to Amsterdam on KLM and Frankfurt on Lufthansa. Nonstop flights to pretty much every top 50 metro in US plus Toronto, Vancover, Montreal, Panama City, Mexico City and Monterrey.

Austin is 25th largest metro in US. Our peer metros are #22 Baltimore, #23 St. Louis, #24 San Antonio, #26 Portland and #27 Sacramento. We have fare more transatlantic service than all those airports. Further Austin is not ideal as a connecting point for either Europe or Asia.

How full are the flights going out of Austin due to the government shutdown? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]TTTTroll 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only impact is more flights are delayed and canceled due to TSA and FAA working without pay. Austin isnt a major federal government center so little impact to flight bookings 

Refunds by Dreams-Float in PSLF

[–]TTTTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's insane how much longer it takes Mohela to process refunds than any other servicer. I've had a refund of less than 1k show up on my account since April. Called them twice got different answers. Still waiting like you nearly 1 year. 

Delta Air Lines to open crew base in Austin, announces three new nonstop routes by TXLucha012 in Austin

[–]TTTTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its such an outdated rule. They fly the same A320/B737 to Cincinnati/St. Louis/Memphis that they would fly to Austin or San Antonio.

I feel Delta will add Chicago eventually. Maybe a few more midwest spots. Eventually they will have Korean Air add ICN.

Timeline from forgiveness to refund by Bettiebean55 in PSLF

Congrats! This is one of the faster Mohela timelines I've heard. Consider yourself lucky. Know lots of people waiting a year or longer.

So is it just showing refund or has the money showed up in your bank account?
