TEXAS DEEP FREEZE

    Frigid in Texas.  Week long subfreezing weather as low as 9°F here in South Central Texas with ground covered ice and snow. Much colder in the far reaches of North Texas.  Millions of Texans without electrical power.  Millions with frozen utilities.  Water lines froze solid.  Our water well system frozen.  Water pipes in the attic are frozen.  Thankfully, we’ve had electrical power throughout, and adequate food supplies.  Water became crucial. Two kind thoughtful neighbors came to the rescue.  Their wells did not freeze.  Very few people in this area were prepared for such a severe weather event.  Typically winter temperatures here seldom drop below freezing.  Usually only 3 or 4 degrees for one or two nights.  Summer high temperatures are the usual concern.  Stay warm.  Hope you are back to normal with no or few minor consequences.
