You left out the frozen, dead, ugly palm trees.

I went throught the Big Freeze of 1982 (1983?) in Houston. There's
NOTHING more ugly than a dead palm tree.

Yeah that was a be-och, I was working in an unheated environment.

Then there was the freeze in December of 1989 IIRC. Did not last long but
the temp of "7" F was cold by most standards.
