Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

It all started late Monday night. The temps began dropping into the teens with 30mph wind gusts
along with thunder sleet, snow, and freezing rain.

It is now Wednesday night and the temps are STILL in the teens and the roads are a solid sheet of ice.

This is the road in front of our house.



A 2 inch thick chunk of ice from the street.


We saw a truck spin out and end up in the ditch. T offered to help but the guy declined. Guess he was embarrassed. 4 hours later a tow truck came and pulled him out.

Because of these nasty roads we've been stuck inside the house since Monday night. Going stir crazy! School has been cancelled Tuesday-Thursday!

I made a big pot of venison chili to cope with these frigid temps. It was so so good!





Temps will remain below until Friday when the high is expected to climb to a whopping 33 degrees and a chance to receive 2 inches of snow.

Where is my warm Texas sunshine?!

Mmmmmm, venison chili. Delicious. Y'all should share. : P

Y'all will probably hate the fact that it is currently warmer up here in NYC than down there - I know, it's just not right.

...and it's even warmer in Alaska.
