Cold As Ice

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

I know I’ve been quiet lately.  If you’ve watched the national news at all recently, you may have seen that Texas is having a record breaking winter this year.  Record cold since Sunday.  Major power outages all over the state.  Frozen water pipes.  Busted water pipes.  People having to boil water, IF they have electricity.

It was -3 degrees here yesterday morning.  A balmy 17 this morning!

Some of these poor people are doing whatever they can to stay warm without electricity.  There have been carbon monoxide poisonings because people are using heating methods that are not safe.

It’s crazy-scary.

I have been fortunate.  I’ve lost power briefly a few times.  I’ve had almost no internet service.  But I am safe and warm.

I will post this, while I can!

Stay safe out there, my friends!

  5. Dear Penny, I am relieved to read this post that all is (mostly) good with you. But I am sorry for all your fellow Texans are experiencing. We’re prepared for cold in Minnesota. But you don’t expect this in Texas, so I can understand why your state is enduring so many challenges. Continue to be well and warm.
