Day 1909

 It was cold last night - 7 degrees.  I got up about 9, did the pet stuff and went back to bed.  Later I got up and had breakfast.  There was 6 inches of snow on the ground.  The internet - both wired and Verizon are down.  The temp got up to the low teens.  The power went out about 11.  It was out until about 1.  The house got down to 56 degrees.  There was a second 30 minute outage about 9.  

I read a lot of magazines and watched TV when the power was on.  When we went to bed we used Mom’s quilt for the first time since we’ve been in Texas.  We needed it.  We had blankets when we were in the chairs most of the day.  The furnace isn’t up to this level of cold, especially with the single pane windows.
