Kathy,knees doing pretty well and not being bothered much by the nasty weather we’ve been having.
As far as the weather go’s we only got about three inches of snow which suited me just fine.The weather people hyped this storm up so bad that al of our schools were closed,though I guess that’s normal for here because as soon as they get two inches on the ground they shut down.
I do look forward to spring and its coming,I could feel the intesity of the sun on myself as I was clearing the snow from the driveway.By the time I was done the sun melted the snow that remained.

Hi, BB! I thought about you today when I saw the pictures
of the snow in the Dallas area! I had a feeling that this
was a “non-event” for a northeastern escapee like yourself!
Glad you are safe and sound, though! Texas drivers are crazy
on the roads in bad weather!

Out here they go as fast as possible in slick weather, and then they wonder why their SUVs climb the railings on the overpasses! LOL! Whoopsie!
What on earth is a “plasma vaporizer rifle modification”? LOL!
I thought you were speaking another language for a minute! :D

Its likely to be ice by then if the local gov doesn’t do their job I will fall back on my own experience and coast across the bridge.
It will be fine.
