Well, woke to 23 degrees today and frozen waterlines. Ron says this is cause for divorce, taking him away from a sunny 80 in Palm Springs into this. We are 172 miles from San Antonio and I 10 is still closed for 250 miles. If you are caught on it, you get a citation - ticket. We have about 500 miles to get to Mission, where we leave for our Mexican Caravan Saturday. We hope to get out of here Thursday.
The farmers aren't worried because the cotton crop is in and as long as the cows get food and water they'll be fine.
There are trucks everywhere, even stuck on the road shoulders. Saw 1 trying to pull the other out of the frozen snow and all that was pulled off was his back bumper. Apparently he'll need a wrecker and in this 'inclement weather' the charge is $1200.00. This is the parking lot of the Super 8 Motel, filled with trucks beside the sign saying No Truck Parking and lined up down the road. We're in their RV Park across the road. Fortunately Ron got the sattelite working even though we're getting far away from Canada, and enjoyed the Canucks game last night. Time for reading and sewing today.

Hi Ann and Ron,
You should feel quite at home as the photos in Texas look just like I am seeing out my window. We have had one snow storm after another this year and White Rock and South Surrey have been getting hit the hardest. Sister # 2 in West Van had just a sprinkling of snow yesterday while we had about 8 inches-believe it or not! Seriously, I really hope you get moving soon and join your caravan for Mexico and sunnier climes.
Keep blogging, I love it.
Love, Nikki
Oh my, and I have been whining because it is cooler than normal here (Desert Hot Springs, where you just left! Tell Ron we have had one night of 0C and it isn't as hot as it was but at least there is no snow. Got my fingers crossed for you Annie, hope you get to Mission by Saturday!
