Re: it snowing down in Texas all of the telephone lines are down
Early in the month we got 6" of snow. My snow blower decided to quit working so I had to spend two hours with a shovel. Three days later we got 4" so it was back outside again for snow shovel duty. Then four days after that we got 3" which required more shoveling. Woke up this morning and had to clear another 3" of the white stuff. About an hour ago it started coming down again and another 3"-5" is predicted by morning. ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
I want to read my own water, choose my own path, write my own songs

I always thought with my little knowledge that Texas was a hot climate with lots of desert areas. Then the other night on TV here they showed a big motorway crash in Texas with trucks and cars sliding in the ice. We are having a cold wintery summer here not sure what's happened to the climate.

Re: it snowing down in Texas all of the telephone lines are down
here in South Wales we don't see much snow but over the last week or so we've had minus temps. I remember it being cold when i was a kid, rivers 200 feet wide freezing up, black ice etc, but i don't remember it being as cold as it is now...so what happened to global warming?

Hey Mojo, I'm hoping you make it through this craziness with a sound mind and all your guitars and family members intact.
Dirty Ed - You're a sturdy (though only marginally sane) individual capable of shoveling lots of skyborne weirdness.
Here in Virginia, we've seen rain, ice, snow, sleet, and a variety of precipitation that has wiped out all my patience and all my salt.
Rock on, everyone. Do the necessary.

Re: it snowing down in Texas all of the telephone lines are down
I will attach a couple videos of John Wells who lives in the desert of Brewster County South West Texas. First one showing the snow something no one would have thought you would see down there, The second video is him reciting a poem of why he likes living away from the crowds.

I'm glad you got your power back.
Unintentional randomly scheduled camping at home is no fun at all.
