The Deep Freeze

In Texas we are used to hot weather and cold weather is short lived. Well, this week the kids have missed three days of school and counting because of an ice storm that hit three nights ago. We have two inches of ice and a layer of snow on top. We have ventured out by sliding down our driveway and getting a running start to get back up. Tyler's Eagle project was supposed to be in two days but he has rescheduled it to next week. It is supposed to be a little warmer. We have had rolling blackouts in our city and my new furnace cannot keep up because there is not enough natural gas pressure due to the high demand. Yesterday it was colder here than in Wisconsin. With the Super Bowl here on Sunday it was said that the Green Bay Packers brought their cold weather here. Well, it could be worse. We could live in Chicago.
