Good Monday Morning! It is cold in North Texas, 18°! Tomorrow morning it will even be cold in South Texas.
At least we do not have any moisture in the air or precipitation therefore we do not have any snow in the DFW area.
Our friends in Lubbock had a surprise Sunday with a light dusting of snow. In Waco, Houston, and San Antonio areas, they should get snow. Even the Corpus Christi area, where I grew up, has a chance of snow flurries which is rare.
I am just hoping that there is no ice on the trees anywhere in Texas. If the trees are icy and the tree limbs get heavy and break then the electricity usually goes out.
After all, we just want to be able to build a snowman and get out of school or work.
Hey, maybe the snowman could check the mailbox and bring the mail inside to me.
A polar vortex is supposed to hit Wonderland tonite, bringing wind chills of -20. It's Michigan--so these temps don't last long. Glad I don't have to go out in it. 🌬️
What a beautiful day we had yesterday at 60°! Happy Friday because even though we may not have as much sunshine, it should be 60° again.
Plants in the garage all got watered. It was so nice not to have the heater on in there as the door opens to the north wind.
Then we had to move the bricks along the bottom of the plastic to get to the temperature device to change the battery. All 4 devices got the batteries replaced.
You want to do it on a warm sunny day with sunshine beating down, not when it is below freezing and you don't know the temperature under there or when to turn the heater on. It was SO humid and hot when I lifted the plastic up. PERFECT for our plants!
We were being proactive since we know the arctic air is on the way (shiver as I type that).
For us life is good when it is warm and the sun is shining brightly and when all our plants are HAPPY! :)
