Ice-pocalypse 2026 Is Upon Us!

Friends, I lived through this nonsense in 2021. We were one of those who had no power for days.

What we did have was a priest who happened to be visiting us during that time. He’s a dear friend and this was his vacation. His flight got canceled. He spent an extra week with us. We transformed our dining room into a chapel. He said the Mass of All Time every day for us. We also played all the board games while clearing the bar and burning the candles meant for the three days of darkness. Such is life. 

And here we are, five years later. Our priest-friend is on a cruise and we are staring down another ice and snow and sleet “event”.

This one starts as most Texas storms start – with rain.

Hence, a video for all of you wonderful people.

Enjoy:

I will update as the weather surely changes.

Say a prayer I can get to Mass.

Meanwhile I think we’re ready for anything Mother Nature throws at us…
