I am thankful that I did not lose water and non of the water pipes burst. Also, it was my first time I mating a snow angle last week.

I am thankful that our gas did not shut off along with the power.

I was able to build a big snow that survived the whole week. Also i made my first snow angel.

warm- i ordered one of those comfy things from amazon just before this storm and it kept me warm during the storm.
first- this is my first time seeing so much snow here in Texas.
thankful- i am so thankful that we were able to get power most of the time and water. i am now so grateful and wont take little things like this in life for granted anymore.
Economics- there was high demand for food and water at the grocery stores and not enough for everyone. also gas at the end of the week was crazy! the lines were extremely long

First - Although it wasn't the first time I have seen snow (my family and I had traveled to Ruidoso 2 years ago around this time) It was the first time that we have seen texas get this much snow throughout the years we've been living here.

Thankful - I am thankful that we had power through the whole weekend so we were warm. And that my family from Houston and here, stayed safe even though they also had some problems.

Warm - something warm was a pasta me and my mom had made, and blankets to cuddle with.

Economics - there was high demand for food, supplies, and gas. But the supply went down because of people buying more.

maryvallor — 2021-02-23 14:59:40 UTC

First- This was the first time I had a full week off of school because of the winter weather
