so lastnight we got record snow. almost 13" fell on dallas, a slight bit less here, but needless to say we didnt make it out today. power was out since 3am, kept the fish tank heaters and pumps going thanks to my trusty generator. between teh generator and the fireplace i should manage. more coming sunday. here it is almost 5pm and they finally got my lights back on. so this never happens in east texas. i wrecked my truck twice today. in my driveway. lol.

Dang! We didn't get ANY snow this year. Last year we got a whole 9-12", which is a freak snow storm for us. I love the snow, and my Jeep handles it like a champ; so I WANTED snow again this year. *sigh* Oh well, guess I better move more inland if I want snow.

Win, now you know how I live, lol... I love the fact that you all got snow as I remember what it was like when I lived there and we got an inch... lmao... Stay home, it's safer!

Haha...thats what it looks like here 9 months out of the year! Well at least it feels like that!

12 inches usually only closes the rural schools in the city you might get a 2 hour delay! haha!

Finally you get your share!
I still see this looking out my frontwindow.


We haven't had this many snow and for such a long time!
Best thing is that springtime will be here soon.
In 2 months I'll be catching carp and staying outdoors allready.
Can't wait!

we have had our fair share here to. its more of a pain for me as I have to use the landie for work and sit in traffic lol. still bloody cold here but the snow has cleared. little snow showers every so often but nothing as bad as that win.

damn snow in your place.... we just have a week long trip in bangkok and its
damn hot over there... hotter than my place in manila...oh my. why do the earth
doesn't have uniform climate all over it????

well 1 pang died. down to 3 now. it just got too cold for it. generator ran out of gas in the night, nobody filled it up, i was asleep, i woke up the tank was 64 degrees and 1 pang dead and the others almost. the rest of the tanks were fine, surpringly my puffers lived thru it too.

sorry for the loss Win...

that only shows how durable the puffers are... we used to catch puffer in the
open sea, and brought it home alive in a bucket with salt water.... they can
survive two days in the bucket......

premitive belief is that a lactating mother who takes puffer soup will have
plenty of breast milk for the new born baby...

sorry about the fish.
Any change for the better with the cold?
Here it's still snowing, but powerfailures are hardly ever a problem.
guess were lucky, but I'm still considering to get a small generator

lol sorry win, do you think you filters going to cope?
hay Paul its to dam hot in Bangkok. to much concrete that stays hot even at night. did you get to shop at khaosan road and MBK shopping centre. I love Thailand but i can't get my missus to do the 13hr plant trip.
