The Winter of 1949 in Ballinger Texas

I had just turned eight years old when the ice storm hit Ballinger Texas in 1949. At the time I thought it was the best thing that had happened since Christmas. School was turned out because of the ice. I have looked back over the years and wondered how some of the people survived that long cold winter with no more than they had.
