It has rained, and rained, and then it rained, and now it's raining. A delivery truck got stuck in our back gateway and had to send for a tow. It was bringing wood for stacking to dry over the summer. That's off to a bad start!

It's snowing heavily out there! About an inch out there and packable. Temperature is 38. It's beautiful and I love it, but could cause the power to go out.

Had some childhood fun and built a snowman consisting of snow, pine needles and rabbit poop. Go ahead and laugh if you want, but snow being a rare thing here in Texas I hardly ever got to build a big snowman while growing up.

It is 80 degrees. The wind is at 11 mph so it actually still feels cool. The sun is farther away at this time of the year so the sun intensity is less. Humidity is dry at 58% there are a few clouds in the sky but not rain in sight.

Heavy snow Sunday night caused the power to go out and has been off for over 36 hours.
My generator will not the central heat, and it's quite cold in my house, despite the little plug in heaters and heat lamps trying to warm up the room I'm in.
My neighbors generator quit working, so the only source of heat she has is her fireplace. Sounds like the stupid electric company is taking their sweet time to get it back on. Well, they're going to pay for a new generator for me if mine overloads from running a bunch of heaters to keep me from freezing to death.
Also I can't use the washing machine, dryer and dishwasher and no hot water either.
If the idiots don't get it fixed soon, I might start smelling bad. I'm not about to get a shower in freezing cold water when I'm already cold.
I pretty much have just been sitting around on my rear watching TV. I can't do much cooking, and I can't wash anything and I have to be stingy on the electricity since I'm running so many heat sources.

The snow has pretty much melted out there and current temperature is 42. Temperature in my house 56.
