If you're short on memory cells as I usually tend to be, those of you with ice battered shrubs and trees may want to trek out in the cold today long enough to take a few pictures so that next spring, you'll have an idea of what preventative maintenance you can put on the list for next growing season. Maybe it's a tree or bush that needs to be trimmed back, a tree with a rotten limb that you just never got around to cutting because you never felt like getting the ladder out and so on. Small chores in the right weather but disheartening when you have to put on all the clothes you have just to jump out long enough to get that big limb out of the street or off your auto.
On the other hand, I wish I had taken my camera with me on a quick trip to the grocery last evening. The scene was a hoot with all the milk and bread aisles completely bare, people grabbing whatever was left off the fresh meat counter and in general, buying food items that they won't use in the next five years. All in all, people were generally in good spirits unless someone else grabbed that last can of beans or whatever and they didn't get it...
I actually thought about staying a while since watching the crazy shopping frenzy was better than most movies I've seen of late. ;o)
OT: taking pictures of storm damage
Yeh, dealin with those folks tol to stay home that JUST HAD to get out and tear up their cars, sigh. Tx gets cabin fever without the winter weather. The ice logs on the bridges are horrid. Took me 2.5 hrs across I20 to get from Dallas to FW. Watery ice. yuk. brrr
Is that your truck with all that ice hanging onto it?
yeah. My trailr tandems - I came across I30 from Texarkana and hit the freezing bridges in Sulphur Springs. Rotten ice because it is partially melted. This morning I am waiting permission to drop south before the nex wave of sleet comes in- I know it will probably be icy until around Huntsville, and maybe Conroe get some of this FW freeze. Betterto movewhile all is rock hard.
Please be careful driving, Kittriana. Have a safe trip.
