Two cold spells within a week of one another are not something I was looking forward to but Mother Nature did not ask my opinion. Stayed warm last night as we use flannel sheets, I had my San Marcos Mexican blanket but did not use it because it is heavy and with my plantar fasciitis it is too much weight on my foot so used my lightweight fleece blanket in its place.
Everything was fine until the rain started this morning and then the electricity went out several times so I gave up and turned off my power strip surge protectors as well as the central heater. I still do not understand why it takes so long for the cable boxes to reboot so for once found a use for my worthless cellphone...used it to watch the news.
I bundled up and went outside to feed the cats, the minute I opened the door the strong winds hit me in the face. It was so cold I felt it colder than I did last year during the February Texas freeze. I went out the front door because I did not want to use the kitchen door and have the cats make a mad dash inside like Muñeca and her mother Bonnie Mae do every day regardless of the weather conditions.
The power outages stopped around 12:30 p.m. and I once again turned on the central heater. There was snow and ice all over the state. In San Antonio's viewing area which includes Fredericksburg, Texas they always send reporters there as they are more likely to have winter precipitation than the rest of us and today was not the exception...ice everywhere. Even my water catchment was frozen solid.
On the 5:00 p.m. news it was announced that HEB's in the San Antonio area were closing at 6:00 p.m. this evening and that the Spurs game was going to take place earlier than scheduled due to the weather. Hopefully, this will be the last cold front but you never know.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
