ICE STORM IN SOUTH LOUISIANA

It's 30 degrees here at home in Houma and the low is expected to be 26 degrees tonight and tomorrow night.  The temp gauge in my RV reads 32 degrees at 6:00pm tonight and there is ice forming on the outside of the motorhome.  I poured a little anti freeze down the drains in the RV and hope nothing breaks.

Ice forming on the roof top A/C.

My upstair's awning.

My backyard palm trees.

Ice tips

My poor palms are looking pretty sad with frozen fronds suffered from the last few freezes we've had here recently.  I planted these trees 14 years ago and have never had them freeze like this. 

Tonight and tomorrow night are to be the worst so I expect lots more ice on everything.  Just hope the power doesn't go out.

Stay warm ya'll.

    1. Hi Nan... I've got the furnace on as well as the fireplace so I'm pretty comfortable. However, I worry so about the RV sitting in the driveway. Sure hope nothing cracks. I drained the fresh water tank and the gray tank and poured antifreeze down the drains. Don't know what else to do. Not used to this type of weather. Southern Florida is the place to be about now :-)

    1. Hi Chris... That sounds like a good idea. I like winter here but not this kind of cold. Wanting to go somewhere in the motorhome - maybe next week.
