FOXNews.com - Freezing Weather Hits Middle America; 2 Deaths Blamed on Storm - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News:
"TULSA, Okla. — Freezing rain fell in the nation's midsection Friday, and temperatures plunged from Minnesota to Las Vegas as a storm rolled in that could leave several states coated in ice."


Well, Tulsa makes the news. Unfortunately it is weather related. Roads were icy, but Since yours truly is from the Boston area I know how to drive on this stuff. Still a trip that takes 5 min. normally took about 1/2 hour today. Everyone was going to the same place, the grocery store. Return trip, 5 min.

Of course at the store the lines were 2 hrs long. I needed a prescription filled so I took the few things we were buying and paid for them there. Out in 10 min.

Still we are supposed to have this through Sunday. Some churches are already closing Sunday services and this is Friday night. Well, I got chocolate, food and prescription. Got candles in the lights go out. About only thing I do not have is Internet connection if lights go out. Laptop has battery but the internet connection will not be there... still could watch TV with the USB TV stick.

Wish us all luck this weekend.
