Got down to 38F last night in Houston.

Had to put on all the clothes I owned. Even had to get another blanket.

From the attic.

At least we didn't have to evacuate to a shelter like so many. Fortunately,
we have plenty of food; neighbors are stocking up on canned goods and
bottled water.

I'm not sure whether they're going to close the schools or the roads. Mail
delivery is likewise iffy.

Wow. 38. Only 78 degrees warmer than the temp I used to walk six blocks
to school in when I was in elementary and junior high. I remember one
six-week period during which the temp never rose above zero F. Forty
below was common, in the days before global warming...

That was in July, right? BTDT but in my case it was in June and my
walk was 2 miles...
