Wow, we have been SO lucky in our part of the state. As many of you have probably seen on the news, Texas has been in the midst of an icy grip that is causing chaos in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth and cities all around and in between.
This is from Wednesday and you can see how close the line came to the Houston metro area and the farm. We got lucky. No freeze, no sleet and no ice. Thankfully, that means no power issues for us. But as of last night, there were still almost half a million people around the state without power.
For us it's been that wet, rainy, damp cold. It just goes right through you. The same way humidity in the Summer makes the heat horrendous, it makes the cold just bone chilling.
For us, the good news is we are on a warming trend. Back to the 70's by next week and long range forecasts for US seem to indicate our freezes may be over...but for the people up North and East...
...looks like Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and there are six more weeks of Winter. Good news though, apparently he's only been accurate about 40% of the time over the years. But it's still a fun tradition.
Stay warm and safe!
