Snowklahoma!

Ok, let's get one thing straight.  I am originally from, and will always claim, Louisiana.  I am a Southern girl, from the Deep South.  This whole snow thing is a fascinating (and right now frustrating) phenomena for me.  I don't know how to "winterize" a home or a car.  Until recently I had never had to worry about letting the faucets drip for a deep freeze over night, but I learned.

Or so I thought.

Then I forgot. . .

Thankfully no pipes have burst (yet) from my forgetful nature.  However, the only water in my house consists of the two gallon jugs I bought last week for round one of the snowpocalypse.

I take refuge in the fact that:

1)  The Pioneer Woman didn't have water last weekend (but she lives on a rural cattle ranch)
2)  My neighbors did the same thing I did (but they're Chinese and also assumedly unaccumstomed to ridiculous freezing weather)

So as for now, my faucets are on and cabinets open to help ensure that the thawing process (whenever that is) goes smoothly.  Fingers crossed, rosary out!
