We ended up getting around 14 inches. So far, no loss of power....we got nearly all dry powdery snow, not much sleet at all. I did hear my awning creaking & groaning so I got my leaf blower and a ladder and blew most of the snow off of it yesterday afternoon. No more groaning now, except from my wife, who is just about stir crazy with me, our two 20+ kids and three dogs all in the house. Mama is just about like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! She did make a crock pot full of pork chops & taters that made for a very good meal for dinner tonight. Now for dessert......my 10th batch of snow ice cream. I’m on my second can of Eagle Brand milk now........takes me back to just about my earliest memory of snow. My dad always made it and still does. I checked on him and he said he’s warm, watching Grit TV westerns all day, and he’s got plenty of instant oatmeal and snow ice cream. That old man is fine.

All those without power I truly feel for. I just know that somewhere there are people right now who are in dire straits and here I sit eating snow ice cream. Makes me feel kinda guilty. I did see a whole group of electric trucks from Mississippi parked in the Atwood’s parking lot yesterday. Not sure if they were headed for Texas or not. You all take care.
