I took pictures after three days in the deep freeze, but I am just too lazy to download them from the camera, but we still had snow (ice) on roofs, cars, and shady places in the streets. This is Southeast Texas for goodness sakes! We are semi-tropical. This is ridiculous.
Schools were closed for two days, and well they should have been. Our temperature didn't get out of freezing both of those days. I knew that the buses would not run. And they didn't.
I am not looking forward to our gas bill. We have two furnaces that ran A LOT! Fortunately, we had gotten our firewood before all this, so we were good on that. Our fireplace is really an important asset to our heat in the den. Even with new ductwork that should have been able to send the air better, the master bedroom gets the lion share of the air (both a/c and heat). It gets so hot in there, but the den, kitchen, and breakfast room get just a little so we have been freezing!
Today we are to have (finally!!!) temperatures in the 60's, but it is cloudy with occasional showers. That makes it seem a lot colder. Tomorrow temps in the 70's. I wish the sun were to be out, the rain will be greater.
So that is what is going on in Southeast Texas. With the flu rampant, and the terrible weather, we are sticking close to the house.
Hope all it better in your neck of the woods!

The weather the last couple of years has been beyond weird!!
Weather like that makes me thankful I don't live up north where they have to deal with it all winter. I heard the Houston area got it worse than most places. We just got a layer of sleet and it never covered the roads.
