I'll be glad when the threat of icy roads is over. I have about 400 lbs of rocks/concrete/logs in the bed that I would like to get rid of. So far, it has not been needed. That may change when we head for Burleson on Friday. Should all be gone by the weekend.

I wouldn't mind living in Charlotte.

That would be cool to live in the heart of Nascar country....

Buried in the wall. I'm doing what I can with a hair dryer and drop light.

The back door I've been complaining about to the landlord since September, leaks water and is rotting out. Of course leaks air, colder in there, and I think the reason it froze. We had the sink protected, possibly same line.

I hope we don't get home to busted pipes on Friday. Everything is wrapped pretty well and covered. The pool has a thermostat that starts to circulating with the pump at about 31 degrees. If that did not work for some reason or the power was off for an extended time, could have a problem there.

No blackout on this side of town, on the grid with a fire station.

Hopefully your power didn't go out....

It was actually easy to blow snow last night and this morning.....
Just pointed the chute straight forward and pointed the deflector straight up....the wind was blowing so hard that it just took it once the snow was airborne....
