It is 10:45 right now and it’s warmed up to 17 degrees, so when I say I’m fine, please take that to mean I’m alive.

Out my front door.

Deb T sent me a picture taken in Galveston that appeared on Kansas City television. Yeah, it’s that unusual.

Well, we aren't the only ones dealing with snow and cold this morning. It's not every day that you see a snowy Galveston, TX beach. Their temperature as of 8:30 am is a balmy 21°. pic.twitter.com/wyT8Duasyw

Our houses aren’t built for this.  My laundry room is filled with tropical plants.  My house was built in 1936 so it was built for cross breezes and ceiling fans. We’ll probably be house locked for a week – except maybe Wednesday – but right now, it looks like we’ll have ice on Thursday and Friday.
