We have had the same kind of cold snow and ice and no electric. We finally got it all back today. Oh I just want to be warm and eat a nice meal. Hugs, Nancy
good morning Pam, praying Texas gets some relief soon. We have extended family in College Station. They have had the rolling blackouts as well. So glad to hear y'all are keeping warm. Hang in there, I hear a warm up is coming by the weekend! Have a good day!
I'M SO GLAD YOUR DOING OK. I'M ALSO SO SORRY YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT LIVE IN TEXAS AND THEY ARE ALSO HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME. WE ARE PRAYING FOR TEXAS. KEEPING ALL OF YOU IN PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL WITH ELECTRICITY. (((((((HUGS)))))))

We lost electricity early Monday morning about 2:30 am and went 14 hours without any. At about 36 hours we had only had maybe 5 hours of power. Now we are in rolling blackouts but the entire time we have been able to stay warm. However, a cousin in Arlington has had no electricity since early Monday morning, as do hundreds of thousands of people in Texas. My friend in Alice, near Corpus Christi, not only hasn't had electricity since early Monday morning, but now they have no water as the pumps are out and are supposed to boil water (with no electricity). Needless to say...
Again, we are OK right now. But please keep people all over in your prayers because so many are hurting from pipes bursting and destroying their homes, from homes catching on fire and dying from carbon monoxide poisoning (I think 18 children were admitted yesterday).
Our area has had around 6-8" of snow and most businesses are closed. There are warming stations set up all around. As the power will let me, I will read your messages as they cheer me up.
Thank you for posting a bulletin for me. Stay warm and take good care of yourself and check on your neighbors. Blessings & Hugs!
Oh my goodness Pam, things are going from bad to worse out there where you are. Sorry to hear of more bad news Hope at this time you have electric back - think the worst part of no electirc is being cold!! When our heater stopped working we were forfunate to have a propane fireplace which kept us warm for a week before the heater finally got fixed! I think you need to move over here to NC - we don't get that kind of weather!! Hopinng you days improve and you keep warm!! Hugs, Wendy
Thinking of you all! Crazy what weather does to people and homes. We are still digging out but the roads are reopening and stores and businesses too/ dangerous driving! And some sore from shovelling out! Stay safe!
Hi there. Well it is finally warming up here. At least its a lot warmer than it was here lately. Its 10F here right now and supposed to get up to 19F. Itt doesn't sound like much but lately it has been in the single digits. Getting my housework done this morning and hopefully going to go eat lunch or dinner, whatever you may call the noon meal with my husband and son later. Take care my friend and have a good day.

Pam. I am praying for all of you. You said it is only 56 in your house at the time you messaged. I am trying to find out the city you live in. I have email addresses, phone number, etc. but no actual address. Only Texas. I want to follow your weather and Electricity updates. I hope you and your family are still okay. I hope you have lots of candles as you won't have any light without having electricity. We were told here in, Canada, that a candle will keep you warm in your car. I read this as to how to keep warm in your house using candles: You can heat a room with a candle by picking the smallest room to heat with the candle, make sure that all the doors and windows are closed, and there is no wind coming in, as the wind can make it extremely hard to heat up the room with something small like a candle. In addition to this, you should place a clay flower pot on top of the candle, as this will radiate the heat a lot better than a simple candle.
I Hope this will help added with lots of blankets. Love you.
No electricity since 2:30 am. We are all electric in this area. Down to 56 inside house and dropping. Phone low, will charge in car. We are ok for now. Please post on NOTH for me.
Hi there. Its a bitterly cold morning here. Its -13F and feels like -29F. My husbands work truck didn't want to run right this morning so he was late getting to work. Not doing a whole lot this morning. Just staying warm. I do have the laundry going. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as cold. I'm ready for it to warm up. At least the sun is out. All that snow we were supposed to get didn't happen, I'm very glad. We got maybe a inch of snow on the ground. Take care my friend and have a good day. Cheryl
It's a very wintry morning and everyone is just waiting for the big snowstorm. Forecast is 8-10 inches today and overnight! My shrubs out front are already almost covered from the last snow.
