Today promises to be no different.
With 194 stranded Greyhound passengers to feed and house, Salvation Army volunteers have been pushing themselves to ensure the comfort of those whose holiday plans went awry with the weather. Shortly after midnight Monday, Greyhound Bus officials in Abilene contacted Roy Davis, director of operations for the Salvation Army, with news of 54 stranded passengers in need of shelter. Another 55 arrived mid-morning Tuesday, for a total of 109. Greyhound officials said they hope driving conditions will allow them to resume routes out of Abilene by this afternoon. Earlier, an ice storm that froze most of the Big Country in its tracks Christmas night left 49 stranded Greyhound passengers seeking a warm place to sleep.
