The kids haven't had school since Tuesday! North Texas is not at all equipted to deal with ice or snow. The ice storm came in Tueday night dumping a sheet of ice two inches thick on the roads. No way to clear it. We don't have sufficiant salt or sand to do the side roads. heck the highways are a sheet of ice! Last night the snow came back and dumped 4 inches. It is still snowing.
Below is a pic of a road that Stomachmonkey and I take to Dallas (FM 2499) - mostly all ice save for a somewhat clear path that comes and goes.
Here is look out our front door...
And a pic of the pool. The poor palm trees! I tried to protect them as best I could with burlap. They just don't like snow and ice. The kiddos want me to heat the pool are at least the hot-tub. Hmmm, could be fun?
Here is where I shall be for the next few days...it provides a nice warm view of the outside at a comfortable 72F.
