Putting on your boots and heavy coat with hood over pjs,
standing outside in the freezing rain and howling north wind at your back,
standing outside in the freezing rain and howling north wind at your back,
while holding an umbrella over your very old, arthritic, senile dog,
waiting for her to take care of business before bedtime.
The icy rain turned to snow and we woke up
this morning to about three inches of snow.
The pics below show the difference between snow in 2010 and 2015.
Sunny pics are today.
So .... it could always be worse!
The sun should melt everything by this afternoon.
Below are a couple of posts from our daughter-in-law on Facebook last night. Bless her heart!! Her husband was at the fire station last week when the ice storm came, too!
"School is closed (again) tomorrow. They're all like "driving on ice is dangerous", "stay off the roads", "be safe" blah blah blah, I get it, I really do. You know what else is dangerous??? Locking me up with these crazy kids again, THAT is dangerous. I think school should also occasionally close on a "beautiful day" so we can actually enjoy a random day off in the middle of the week and go do something fun!! Who's with me!?!"

Ice Rant Part II:
"Why? Why does my husband always have to be out in this mess???? He is at work right now, parked on the top of a bridge, trying help keep the citizens of Dallas safe.
Ladies and Gents, Do me a favor. Pray for him and all the other firefighters, police officers, etc that have to be out braving this nasty weather in order to serve others. Pray for their safety, for warmth, for rest."
