After the big freeze this morning I have some casualties where the corner of the frost cloth blew up and they were uncovered. Gonna have to anchor that corner with a rock or something so it doesn’t happen again. I’m not sure whether they will recover or not. I’m trying hard to not be upset. I did everything I could but I’m still really sad.

When that happened to me in the #BigFreeze back in '21, next day I got a travel pot to run off the car power. Never again!

Okay, turns out that there was perspiration dampening my socks, hence the cold feet thing. The socks started irritating nerves & causing pain, so I abandoned them to the hamper. Slid my shoes back on...and the insoles were damp. That tells me so were the socks.

So, I have my feet tucked into some micro fleece with the shoes kicked off. Toasty warm.

Nice Christmas Eve way to read.

And once again, I'm late taking my medications. So, I have a drink, my pill bag, and took off shoes & socks to tuck them into fleece to warm up. Much cozier!

Was gonna go to KW for #christmas, but thanks to the #BigFreeze Via Rail shut down all the trains while I was trying to depart. I'm just glad I'm not stranded somewhere. RIP

It's cold here.

Like below freezing cold.

I know that for much of the country, our temps seem like they are nothing. But add in coastal dampness, and it's sheer misery.

I might even put on socks for a while.

Everybody try to stay warm! #BigFreeze is hitting a lot of the States now through Monday. We aren't getting above freezing from tomorrow night until Tuesday. That is unheard of in my neck of the woods.

I haven't been in the higher latitudes in some time, but bundle up and don't go around sticking your tongues on metal poles.

Today in Texas started off in the mid-40s. Several hours late, it's 18 degrees and counting to drop. The #BigFreeze is arriving across the lower 48. My best wishes to those in the Midwest, where Pluto will soon seem like a summer holiday.

How to prepare for the #BigFreeze in #Texas? Why use your #Whataburger styrofoam coffee cup of course! #MacGyver

Watching the temperature drop in WilCo is like whoa

Pray for the grid!

Preparing for the annual moving of the outdoor plants ahead of the #bigfreeze in Texas.

The temps will dip to 29°F tonight. That's not so much of a big deal in my home state of WI, but it is in Texas where most homes aren't insulated and have no storm windows.

Even though I had to scrape the inside of my car this morning, I kinda love this cold weather ❄️ It's properly wintery, it isn't damp (which makes my #fibro pain so bad), everywhere looks so twinkly, and nature is getting the chill it needs before spring erupts next year. #BigFreeze #BabyItsColdOutside #Winter #AsItShouldBe

A couple of 'spider art' photos taken over the last few days in frozen #EastKilbride.

Slight chill up North, nothing to be too concerned with. Put your big coat on. #ukweather #bigfreeze #winter

Heading home across the duck pond at the end of a cold winter's day.
