    We were planning on getting to Abilene tonight. Stopped around 4:30 for propane at the Loves in Sweetwater. Stepped out of the MH and slipped on the pavement. Ice!! Couldn't call the attendant as the button was frozen over. He had to get a pry bar to open the box with the valves as it was frozen shut.

    Decided to stop for the night in Sweetwater.

    Tucked in for the night. Not worth staying on the highway with the freezing rain and the wind. Stay safe out there.

    Be safe down there. Ice is the worse!!! Glad I'm up here in MI enjoying a relatively mild winter thus far.....Now if we can get through the next 3-4 months with mild weather.
