It is 34 degrees at 8 am. There is ice on the netting outside. I could see that and I’m not checking the row cover and quilts to see if they are frozen. It is raining a mixture of ice pellets/rain, not enough you can see it coming down but I can hear it and held my arm outside the roofed deck and rain was hitting my arm.
Weather channel says we have a “wintry mix” of snow/ice which will change to rain and all this has a 70% chance of happening. Just saw on weather channel that Houston has trees down due to icing and power is out in some places.
Weather channel is about to talk about this ice in Texas.
31 at the airport, 33 here. Power was just restored, been off about 3hrs. I-45 iced up our way, our exit/overpass closed for 3 hrs. Trees falling in the woods across the street, branches broken out of our magnolia tree, redbud tree keeled over so far it is a goner. Icicles on the trees, cars, house and power lines. Limbs on the ugly oak tree hangs down over my big truck, I wanted to take it down, but not on top of the Chevy. Its a big mess here. Carol called in(emailed) over the ice.
