That's for sure. I lived in Houston in 1983. That year there was a
Siberian Express cold front that came through and gave Houston a hard
freeze on Christmas day. In Houston there is a lot of plumbing in
attics. A lot of people who left town for Christmas came home and
found their ceilings down from the pipes in the attics that froze
and burst.

I got the word not to try to travel, because of the horrid weather and
spent Christmas at home. I got up Christmas morning and found the
water frozen where it came up out of the ground in front of the
house, then bent to go into the wall. I got it thawed out with
no problem, but I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't
been there.
