Got down to 38F last night in Houston.

Had to put on all the clothes I owned. Even had to get another blanket.


From the attic.


At least we didn't have to evacuate to a shelter like so many. Fortunately,
we have plenty of food; neighbors are stocking up on canned goods and
bottled water.

I'm not sure whether they're going to close the schools or the roads. Mail
delivery is likewise iffy.



Evacuate, stock up on food, closing schools & roads, no mail........
What happened, somebody see a snowflake?



Its a standing joke around Portland Oregon that when a snowflake is seen
at the Whistler ski resort
north of Vancouver, B.C., the entire PDX metro area shuts down,
canclling schols until July.

The local tv stations compete to out do each other with Cassandra
inspired predictions of weather catastrophies which never ocurr.






High here today, 29 F, with 10 inches of new snow. Just a typical day, no big
deal.
