I don't know how much longer I can hang on without a proper shower. The hotel where I have been staying near the radio station has a heater that is struggling, so I have had to rely on layers to keep warm. The record low temperatures arent just making us cold, the temps also have us asking "When can I finally take a shower?". When can we finally flush the toilet without having to melt the snow?  At least that is what I have been asking.

Doug Warner also spoke to Bossier's CAO Pam Glorioso, and she claims that Bossier residents are getting water supplied to them it's just very low pressure. Bossier residents have been dripping water to prevent pipes from busting in their homes and businesses and that has greatly lowered the water pressure.

Start melting snow to flush toilets and ration your water. Let's hope our temperatures get above freezing and the snow and ice start to melt.
