I think this has been the coldest winter we've had in our thirteen years in Texas. The wind chills are putting the temperatures in the single digits. Because most of Texas isn't prepared for this kind of cold, the power company can't keep up. So now we will have rolling power outages for the next few days. Every couple hours the power goes out for 20 minutes. At least we still have water (mostly), and gas to cook with. The cold water pipes for my bathroom froze though. They are flexible tubing so I hope they won't burst. The kids are out of school early today. So I think we are going to light a fire, drink hot chocolate, and play games and read, and eat lots of soup. There is a chance for snow on Thursday/Friday. That could shut us down completely. We'll see. It's always fun weather here.
This picture is from Christmas at my mom's house. Besides the fun outside activities, the girls loved to get together to do inside activities too. This is what we will be doing for the next couple days.
It's chilly here too - at least chilly for us - it's in the low 40's in the a.m. - which we call cold!!
ReplyDeleteNo power outages though - the Santa Anas do that to us.
Stay warm!!
