I am in Flower Mound, just north of the DFW airport.
Had a flight to Vancouver leaving Saturday morning. . .cancelled, American rolled the reservation to Sunday morning. . .cancelled that flight late last night and cancelled the last flight to Vancouver on Sunday as well. Had to cancel my trip to Vancouver since I can’t get there for the Monday morning meeting.
Anyway, iced in. Can’t even walk to the curb to get my newspaper. . .sheet of hard ice over a gentle slope, and when I stepped out this morning and took one step. . .my feet started to slide and I couldn’t stop. Was doing a “surfing” thing. I was barely able to grasp the landscaping brickwork and keep myself semi-upright and pull myself back to the front door. If I wasn’t able to grab that handhold, I would have surfed all the way to the curb. . .in my robe. Not a pretty sight.
At least, knock wood, we have power. Some don’t.
Stay warm, all. I am.
Ha, I just had lunch at the Applebee’s in Highland Village. Roads are slushy and passable. I walk with Yaktracks on my boots, like little tire chains on your car, but on your boots. Picked them up at Bass Pro Shops in Grapevine yesterday.
