I feel so sorry for all the birds and animals that live outside. Everything is frozen solid. Where do birds, horses, etc. get a drink of water? There are so many birds in the trees and at the bird feeder. I am sending to everyone...
OK. I feel sorry for you and especially for myself. I am FREEZING! We lowered the temperature inside by 2 and I don't like it.
Yesterday was just awful in DFW. Ended up with a total of 136 cars and trucks in one crash, 30 people injured and 6 fatalities. That does not speak to any of the other wrecks. But today is a new day.
And yet, the Winter Fairie is not done with us yet. Hubby made it to his Glaucoma doctor and is heading back now. He will probably pick up bread since we are into setting records this February. We might get close or even break the over 200 hours below freezing record. And Monday is another front with snow showers due. Thank goodness it is President's Day, a holiday for some people and some schools. The good news is that the weekend starts in just a few hours. So...
As you probably guessed, we are staying in until at least Tuesday. Thanks for the prayers for all the people in the wrecks around our area. Blessings & Hugs!
I know a lot of you are really cold and have a lot of snow and I pray everyday that you are safe and healthy. Please pray for Texas. Texans do not handle icy conditions at all and they all think they can drive in it. This morning most major highways in DFW are closed somewhere on it due to a fatal wreck. There are areas where people are trapped in their cars and can't get out because of so many cars around them. A report of one person who got out of his car and was hit by a car sliding into him and it killed him. There is an area where 70-100 cars were piled up. I know some of you have this in winter but we just are not used to it in our area. There are 18 wheelers hanging off of bridges. It is so sad.
We have been below freezing for 2 days now. Our next cold front is Friday and we will drop below freezing and stay there for 4-7 days. Single digits are due for a couple of nights. Our pipes are not prepared for this and I worried about so many people out of work being able to afford the electricity. So thank you and please stay safe and warm.
