[Blindtlk] Freezing and very bad weather hoping our NFB FAMILY

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Ray and others,
We are in day three of what we are calling the "icemegeddon" in north Texas.
Right now, it is above freezing, but it's not expected to stay that way for
long. Every surface, including the grass, is a solid sheet of ice, so it is
very treacherous to walk outside, unless you have those wonderful yack
tracks or other shoes meant for ice which I don't have!! As long as I have
electricity and food, I'm fine!!

Be safe.

Well, you're welcome to it.  Me, I just could not handle that I reckon.
