Thank goodness the company paid the bill!

I live in TX and we usually don’t get hit with snow or ice until the end of Jan/early Feb, if we are lucky. Well on Thursday the weather started looking horrible and it started raining, then turned to freezing weather. My husband was out of town working and was supposed to return on Friday evening. We ended up getting a couple of inches of thick ice/sleet combo. Needless to say my husband didn’t get to return home until Monday. He had to spend a few extra days in a hotel. Thankfully, his company paid for it because he was traveling on business.

It didn’t even occur to me that people wouldn’t be able to get their houses heated up to a decent temperature! Glad you guys managed through.

I am sure you are glad to be home!

The best weather here is in October. They are putting some counties on water rationing and we are supposed to be about 70 this week. Even crazier is Santa Cruz-Home of the Beach Boardwalk. It is supposed to be 80 on Wednesday there. It never hits 80 there.

I know there were many affected and were stranded on “vacation.” I was here, in the cold. We just hibernated, but our heat didn’t get above 62 with it running continually. Upstairs was warmer, and we felt okay as we at least had our sweaters. I’m not looking forward to our heat bill though!

It seemed the news was trying to get every angle of this store which made it seem that much more strange that no one was talking about the families stranded away from home. Well, you never know what they’re going to latch on to for a story!

At one point, my son said his heart hurt because he needed to go home so badly. So I just tried to fill the time as much as possible and accept that they were even clingier than usual 🙂

That is strange. The whole country is having extreme temperatures and your news is talking about a drought. Then again, you guys have the craziest weather in the summer 🙂

We were here in CA during the vortex. It was warmer here than FL, where my dad is. So odd.
