Place: Edmond Comments: Well fellow SOCites, it took us 55 years but we managed to bring the Arctic south of I-70, I-40, I-30, I-20 and even I-10. ❄️🥶🥶🧊. Whatever will we do to top this? Nothing this drastic, I hope.
Place: Frozen Tundra in Richardson Comments: And they said tonight will be colder than last night . . . say WHAT!! So many of our /soc friends already have frozen pipes, no electricity and another arctic night. hunker down and pray for sun & higher temps. Mario, if you are looking in on us . . . did you get the email I sent you? If you changed your Em address you forgot to tell me. I hope y'all have electricity up there as so many don't in the McKinney area. Let us know if you're OK. Carol also ask about you in an earlier post.
Place: LV, TX Comments: H a p p y B i r t h d a y wishes go out to J. D. Garoutte, today, Feb. 15th!
Place: LV, TX Comments: Our temp dropped to 7 degrees overnight, lost power between 3:30-9:45 this a.m., and we have 4-6" of snow - all local records since the 60's.
Place: Overland Park, KS Comments: I hope that Mario will visit here soon and see this. Thank you, Mario, for the sweet card! It reminded me of precious elementary school days - 🥰. Hope that you and Barbara stay well. So looking forward to seeing y’all at our next ‘66 get-together; fingers crossed 🤞 for this Fall. Stay warm and well, everyone. 💛🤍💛
Place: Edmond Comments: The University of Siberia just offered reduced rates for the Spring semester. The only catch is if it never turns to Spring you pay full tuition.
Place: Frozen in Richardson Comments: Dang it . . . we Texans didn't sign up for Alaska weather!! This cold has gone all the way down to Houston & Galveston. Our dtr in Dripping Springs, it's sw of Austin, has same thing there. single digit temps and more snow than we have. I'm so worried they may loose all their trees. Her husband owns his own tree company and they have hundreds of trees ready to go out in huge planters there on their land, they live in the country. This cold could kill the trees by freezing the root balls. If it kills all his trees that will be a huge financial loss! One of our upstairs sink pipes is frozen this morning despite leaving cabinet doors open & heat on upstairs all this time. Just hoping it will slowly thaw and we won't have water running everywhere. How's everyone else doing, besides Paul, who is in Siberia!? I know many of you are experiencing rolling blackouts. So far, not here yet. This arctic cold is going to cause so much damage to all of us in TX and OK. Looks like 2021 is taking it's cue from 2020.
Place: Edmond Comments: -26 windchill. Oh my.
Place: Frozen White Tundra/aka Richardson Comments: Paul - I hadn't either until I was browsing Total Wine (I love that liquor store) and was looking for Bailey's Coffee liquor. All sold out but for one bottle of Bailey's Chocolate Cherry. What the heck, I bought it. Best liquor purchase I've made in awhile, except maybe the Tequila last summer. ![]()
Place: Edmond Comments: Thanks, Sandy. While I am familiar with Bailey’s have not seen the Cherry Chocolate version.
Place: Still very cold in Richardson, TX Comments: Thanks Jack, this is the coldest Feb 14 I can ever remember! The snow has definitely picked up and larger flakes. It's coming! I can hardly wait to get up in the morning!!! Paul, If you like a little kick to your coffee, pour a little, or a lot, of Bailey's Chocolate Cherry in it. I don't usually care that much for Bailey's but, when I saw the Chocolate Cherry . . . I bought it. I love chocolate covered cherries candy and this is soooo good in my coffee!!!!
Place: Sachse Comments: Happy Anniversary, Don & Sandy. Hope there are many come to come!
Place: Edmond Comments: I have decided that chocolate and coffee are a great gift to mankind.
Place: LV, TX Comments: This was leaked already, but ... H a p p y 36th A n n i v e r s a r y to Sandy Norman Lynn & Don Broughton, who ‘tied the knot’ on this date, Feb. 14th, at Wynn Chapel of Highland Park Church, Dallas, TX, in 1985! Sandy & Don - Hope you two have a wonderful anniversary celebration and best wishes for many more!
Place: Fropzen in Richardson Comments: Thanks Paul. I just looked at our NBC weather app and I can hardly believe the forecast. It says going into tonight and early tomorrow morning the low is gonna drop down to 6 at 7am in the morning. Holly Cow, that's too cold for Dallas!! Paul, you have my empathy! I can't imagine all that snow coming in and zero degrees with a wind chill of minus anything!!! Hope no one is on the roads and thank goodness we have a holiday tomorrow. Maybe that will keep a bunch of people off the roads. |
