Ad nauseam. I, too, am weary of documenting the weather. I’d rather work in my yard!! ~~ Meteorologist says “Winter is back. Winds coming in from the North, 25 miles per hour, but gusting to 45 miles per hour. Feels like in the twenties.”  The temperature dropped thirty-four degrees in twenty-four hours, and thirty-six degrees in twelve hours.

The “degrees” are deceiving; it feels much colder! I need to go outdoors briefly to cover some plants. Their protection blew away in the strong winds last night.

More pictures with deceiving temperatures; feels much, much cooler. Brought plants indoors–after covering some plants outdoors. Meteorologist on Houston 4:00 PM TV news said six to eight hours of freeze tonight. Wind won’t subside until about ten.

The power went out at 5:35 PM (over the entire area). The heaters did not work; temperature in the trailer dropped quickly. I changed from my warm pajamas and robe and went to the CARE Center. The generator was providing lights and heat–and residents congregated to visit and play games. The power came on about 7:00 but I lingered playing dominos.

Took pictures when I returned: 56 degrees inside, 36 degrees outside. Watched another weather forecast before quickly going to bed. There wasn’t anything on TV I wanted to watch AND no Internet. I had planned to update the blog BUT met the old enemy “no service.” Called the friend that double-checks our router, etc., etc., and learned “Livingston Telephone is dead.” It was still dead at 3:00 AM and 7:00 AM. ~~ Service restored about 10:00 o’clock Thursday, March 6th. (10:30 AM as I write this update.)
