It was 17 here earlier..I wish someone would close that door in thee Arctic..It is here..I am further south than LUV and Billie are and did not get snow...The winds are bad..Windchill around zero here in the early morning hours.
I haven’t gone out..
Gorebull warming indeed!
Reminds me of one of the teddy bears I have. I was at work one day and a delivery guy came into the office looking for none other than, me!
I remarked to him.."Wow...somebody loves me!" I opened the box and it was a teddy bear wearing a gold shirt that said.."Sombody Loves You" and it was signed by the hubby!
I was the envy of the office..lol.
Awww..How sweet! I know you loved it!
Warm fuzzy darling, yorkie!
It's warmed up to 10 degrees now, according to the thermometer outside. Thanks for the cute posts today - still don't want to stay here long for fear of getting shut down again, and I had several personal teddy bears to post (from a couple of years ago) but need to add some and delete some. :) Will post this right now:

The blackouts will last 10 to 45 minutes per neighborhood. The locations and durations of the blackouts will be determined by local utilities.
CenterPoint Energy said it began the rolling blackouts at about 5:45 a.m. and an average of 330,000 customers are affected at a time.
“This is a statewide emergency and CenterPoint Energy is complying with direct orders from ERCOT,” said Scott Prochazka, division senior vice president of CenterPoint Energy’s electric transmission and delivery operations. “Although we realize this is an inconvenience for our customers, these controlled rolling outages are planned emergency measures designed to avoid potentially longer, and more widespread power outages. We will continue these rolling outages until we receive direction from ERCOT that the electric supply in Texas has stabilized.”
CenterPoint Energy said it has pre-determined which circuits/power lines will be systematically brought off-line or curtailed across its entire service territory, but has not released a schedule to the public.
Hospitals, nursing homes, water treatment plants and public service facilities are generally excluded from the blackouts
Darling!
