Dallas is already in a festival mood with snow and ice to celebrate Christmas. Yeah, Dallas was frozen and completely shutdown last weekend. Schools were closed due to road condition and most of the grocery shops were out of veggies & fruits. After thanks giving, it is very hectic for us from moving and settling down. Due to weather condition, my internet and phone connections were delayed to this week and I am excepting everything should happen by today
