Well, that big bag of salt came handy this morning, needed it the melt the ice on the back deck.

The whole deck was ice.

So this 10 lbs of salt in handy.

I had to get over to my 80 year neighbors, had to salt their steps and porch.

It is still belowing freezing, I can hear pipes all over Houston freezing now.

I have my pipes covered under the house when the plumbing work was done.

Did it myself, double covered.

This cold can go, the weekend will warm up a little.

2. Good thing you had it

I'm in the Panhandle. Right now we're at 2 degrees but the weather thingy sez it feels like -32 - probably because of the 28MPH winds - and the light snow. Usually we get pretty cold here but this single digit/sub zero stuff for going on two weeks, that's unusual. We could actually use more snow but then, up here, moisture is always needed.
