Hey guys, Thanks for the kind sentiments. Yes, it's been a tough week for Texas as well as many other states.
I consider myself very blessed that our power did not go off or even flicker. Riding in the snow often occurred to me and if I had studded tires I would have tried it. I was concerned about going down on the bike and I'm older now and decided to walk instead. I layered up on 3 different occasions when I had to alleviate the 'cabin fever' and walked around my area in the northern part of Dallas County. I did not take many pics but here's one from my back yard. My area had around 5 inches of snow which is not a huge amount but it was the week of freezing temps that was rough. The roads were pretty terrible all week and I did not attempt to drive until yesterday. Some may have heard of the terrible pile up at the beginning of this storm where black ice on a Ft Worth freeway caused 133 cars and trucks to crash together during the morning commute traffic. They said 6 lost their lives. What a tragedy! Also a report I read this morning told of other people dying from the extended cold. I hate that. It's pretty much thawed out now and I hear lots of reports of frozen pipes now leaking. Plumbers in the area will be really busy. I sure hope the people in charge get the infrastructure of the power grid hardened up for future occurrences of this nature. I went over to take my 95 YO good friend to the post office and when I pulled up he was shoveling snow off his side walk. What a sight! I didn't think he should be doing that at his age but I think one of the reasons he has lived so long is he is his determined attitude. Here's hoping neighbors will pull together and help each other bounce back from still another sore trial.
