Dang, it's still icy here around Big D.

All of the local school ended up closing on Tues here. We got snow,
but it's the ice that is staying around. Our roads out where I live are
still heavy with ice. If I could get past our neighborhood, the roads are better.
Just not enough traffic here to make them better.

Now this morning around the Dallas area, we are having rolling black outs
due to all of the heavy usage of electricity. We have an all electric house
with no fireplace. Guess the dogs and I will bundle up with lots of blankets
if/when the electric cuts out.

My car is in the shop to repair a gasket and might be fixed today.
Tues and Wed are my days off at work. Have no clue what I'll do
tomorrow if the roads do not clear up around our housing area.

Robert said he will take me to work, but then I'll have to stay there
till he gets off work. I usually get off at 4:30pm. He normally gets
home around 7pm.  His boss told them if the schools close in their
area to not come to work. Robert has a big SUV with 4 wheel drive.
He loves this type of weather and has gone to work each day.

Thanks. We are not set up for this type of weather here in TX. Yesterday was the coldest day in fifteen years. We do not have salt trucks like they do up north. We have trucks that sand the roads, but only the major ones. Since we have the Super Bowl next weekend, they are sanding more around that area since we have people coming in for that. So our local areas are not getting as much attention.

I will admit "icy" is not what I would think of whan I think of Texas.

Icy is the worst case for us. Snow seldom lasts a day because it is usually at most an inch or two. The problem is when things melt and overnight freeze. It's slick ice on the roads. Even our Dart rail system which is like a streetcar is closed due to ice on the rails.

We have maybe one or two ice storms a year. So we do not have salt trucks to melt it and have no clue how to drive on it when we try.

I have a friend locally, called Sharon, she loves her skating - I'll get her to send you a spare pair of skates!

LOL, I wouldn't last two minutes on a pair of skates. I can't even stand up on regular skates. Maybe send snow skis instead.

Icy roads are so not nice! Whenever we have icy roads here it always causes problems. They don't shut down schools and workplaces but everybody takes more time to get where they need to go. 4 wheel drive must be a good thing now. I do hope that the electric doesn't cause to many problems. Stay safe!!!

So far my electric hasn't gone off. It has gone off in the city where edenskye lives, but I haven't heard from him. It may not have gone off in the part of the city where he is. He often sleeps late on his days off. I'm not going out unless something happens.

Woah, I had no idea the weather there got like this :0/

This is rare. Most of the US is having problems with this weather right now. We were okay till yesterday. Crazy weather. It's warmer up north than it is here today.

[lifefailsme.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is freaky.

Robert is crazy. This is the kind of weather that people stay home in.

Robert called me about half an hour ago. He is at Sam's picking up some stuff. Then he is coming home. You know how macho he is.
