The Big Chill January 2010

Well the cold weather has settled into south Texas.  Boy has it.  Fear of freezing pipes caused me to open up the attic access to let some heat up there to keep it a bit warmer.

I put the thermometer up there, to be able to monitor the temp from in the great room.  It was 20 outside this morning, and 31.5 in the attic.  With it being cold again tonight, reports say 20 will continue with the plan until another day or so.

The water in the creek behind us, was frozen solid this morning when I went outside.

The birdbath also a solid block of ice.

Beautiful sunny day with temp at about 42.  But it will be cold again tonight.  Tom and I attempted to do some geocaching today while out with the dogs for a walk.  Tried to find 3 at the waterway, but no luck.

Oh well, we will need to keep trying.
