Snow Day...well, Ice Day...

(Sorry for all of the pictures, but there is no way to describe this Winter weather without them.)

Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning we got lots of freezing rain here.

We were amazed how ice was sticking to...everything.


It went from this Tuesday evening...


to this ice and snow mixture Wednesday morning.
So needless to say, Ed and I had the day off from work.

(Tuesday evening)

Ice started weighing down one of our trees I (Tiffani) park next to. I decided to move my truck because the branches were already starting to lean on my truck.


(Wednesday morning)
Good thing I did! Now the tree is touching the ground!
We lost our DirectTV signal, I wonder why!?!
Couldn't be the 3 plus inches of ice on it?
Having no televison signal inside,
we decided to enjoy the beautiful Winter weather outside.

The ice is sooooo thick on our branches!
We also decided to warm up the trucks,
since they were covered in ice and snow.
We are most definitely not in Texas anymore!
I think this weather is just getting us acclimated to snow and ice
since our plan is to move further north.

Ed having fun scraping off a thick layer
of ice and snow on his truck.
He just couldn't resist eating ice/snow. :)


"Once there was a snowman, small, small, small..."
(well something like that)
This is our attempt at a snowman on the back of Ed's truck.


We decided to play snowball baseball with all of the snow and ice.


Our pitching skills aren't the best, but we had tons of fun.

This is one of the smaller icicles from the side of the house.
I wonder how long this awesome Winter weather will last.

Hope...

Today, history was made and we have hope again.

Thank you Circuit City!!




I'm sure most of you know that Circuit City is going out of business. Well, we took a little trip over the weekend to Tulsa, OK to the Circuit City going out of business sale. We went there especially to check out their prices on tv's. I'm happy to report we are the proud owners of a new RCA HDTV flat screen TV. The tv we had before this one was free with the purchase of our entertainment center (that we purchased from a friend) and has worked well for us, but it was a deal we couldn't pass up. We went from a 27" to a 32" television. Not a huge change, but everything we watch is most definately clearer and brighter. Movie night at the Wilbur's!! :)(Just kidding!)
