Wally - I don't particularly dislike winter or have a problem with pretty snow, but…. On my.
Woke up to discover the furnace was out. House was 60 degrees. Spent the day trying different tricks to make it kick in and to find heating & A/C people who might come out - including the one I have a contract with. Nope - everything shut down & they won't sent techs out on the road. In any case, all the suppliers are shut down so no way to get parts.
Thank heavens I didn't lose power or water (so far). I have a Presto Heat Dish, so I can heat a small room adequately as long as we have electricity. And I have a gas stove so I can cook!! I'm choosing to have leftover pork & mashed potatoes & corn tonight, but I can have soup tomorrow - if the power stays on.
Snow stopped around 2pm and there's 2-1/2 + inches at my house. A/C heating companies expect they might be able to send a service call tomorrow between 1-3pm.
Since the sun came out after 3pm, there was some snow melting this evening. But it just left moisture on the driveways & roads. Projected 18 tonight. Can you see the ice? I understand those temperatures are nothing to those of you in snow country since I've lived in Albuquerque and Salt Lake City, but in Houston it's a major emergency. Hope everyone stays safe.

Carole, Sorry that your DH has to wait longer for his surgery but that is better than driving in unsafe conditions.
Minus, It's good that your new computer is set up but too bad that your son had to leave early because of the weather. At least he got to have his favorite meal. I hope your power stays on and your furnace gets repaired quickly.
Wally, The Sichuan beef sounds good to me but DH would find it too spicy.
We got 8" of snow and temps are staying sub zero but at least this area of the country is prepared to deal with the cold. Hopefully everyone living where this weather is an anomaly will manage.
Dinner tonight was sis kofte, Turkish lamb meatballs, on rice.

Nance - where in Texas did your BIL move? The state often has freezing weather around Lubbock or Dallas - but I've been here 50 years and never seen snow on the Galveston beaches.

Hi all, happy to say I tested negative for Covid - yeah.
It’s 15 degrees here and the snow was minimal, just a few inches. It warms up a bit in a few days. Amazing to read about how you all in more southern climates are getting the snow. I get lazy about going out in this weather, so I’m doing my steps and YouTube videos for HIIT routines and strength/balance.
Minus - Hoping you don’t loose power ! And that the new mic works some magic for you. Which lavilier mic did you get?I’m having a craving for some curried potatoes with peas and tofu .. make that tomorrow. Tonight was leftover red lentil pate and spinach with brown rice and roasted cauliflower. Over the weekend I baked a raisin and chocolate chip quick bread with whole wheat flower/oat flour , adapted from a Peter Berley recipe. His called for walnuts which I’d didn’t end up having so used chocolate instead lol. Even my DH loved it.

Minus - they are in Missouri City. Terrible about your furnace! Hope you can get it fixed ASAP.

Rischaller - my son ordered a Maono USB Lavalier Microphone - AU-UL10. I'm using a desk top so don't have a built in camera. My accessory camera has a built in mic, but by the time I get close enough for clear speech my face is bigger than the entire screen. I really don't want to use a headphone w/speaker so hope this works.

Minus, I'm glad you have a small space heater at least. UGH…I easily keep the house at 62 for comfort but i know it isn't for everyone. Reminds of the the 4 days of 90 degrees and our heat pump/ac went out on a weekend/holiday. Misery. Stay safe.
