Feb 6th, Coldest Feb I can remember in TX.

After watching the news tonight about the weather up north, it is hard for me to complain about our weather but the reason I moved here was to get away from it.  So I will complain, I have two fountains totally shut down and frozen solid.  One above ground pond shut down and quite frozen.  My fish pond, I have not seen them in 3 days so I am not sure about their well being.  I have been poring hot water in the pond since I cannot feed it with fresh water using the hose as it is all frozen up.  Barely keeping things going and right now my neighbor has a broken pipe in the house as it burst from freezing in the wall between his garage and kitchen.  His garage door stopped functioning before this freeze and has been open all through the freeze.  So for us Texan's this sucks.  Now I truly do feel for my northern friends as their temps are life threatening so maybe some of them will move down here and get warmer.  LOL.....

Yesterday was just plain cold but this morning Feb 6th I wake up to this.  All shots on this posting are with my Samsung Galaxy WIFI camera. 


This is the above ground fountain that is now shut down.  When I took this shot it was still running.


The fish pond.  


Two shots of the rail yard.



A few hours later on Feb 6th more snow.  


So much for the little dusting that might happen.  





Of course inside the house we are all warm and fuzzy, but wait, what happened to my spot by the fire.  I think one of them felt guilty for a few seconds. 



Now on to today Feb 7th, ICE around waterfall very heavy.








These shots are upstream from the fish pond.  The water starts here and runs into the fish pond.
