Greetings from Wildorado.
My husband, Kevin -- he's a reporter for the Globe-News, too -- and I are holed up in our home in Wildorado, 20 miles west of Amarillo. The closure of Interstate 40 prevented us from getting in to work today.
In a storm like this, we're reminded of a quote. And we're trying to figure out where it came from and who to cite, but here goes:

We found a reference online to a 1943 book called "I Give You Texas! 500 Jokes of the Lone Star State" by Boyce House."There's nothing between Amarillo and the North
Pole except a barbed wire fence."
The reference continues the punch line by saying that if it's especially cold down around Austin, people are sure to comment:"Somebody musta tore down Amarillo's fence."

I wondered about ya'll. Hope you and Chubby are warm and comfy.
Love the pictures. The fence is really down the wind is blowing really hard here in Big D.
