Forecast for Sunday worsened overnight. The predicted high dropped two degrees, from 18 to 16 degrees above zero, as measured by the Fahrenheit method.
The predicted low for Sunday has dropped three degrees, from two degrees above zero, to one degree below zero, also as measured by the Fahrenheit method.
The predicted precipitation for Sunday has gone from 20% to 80%.
I think I'll go to Walmart this morning for my daily nature communing. Last night I went to Walmart and found the parking lot almost totally full, no grocery carts in the grocery cart storage area. Cart wranglers in the parking lot trying to herd long lines of grocery carts to the cart storage area.
And whole sections of Walmart wiped clear. No eggs, little bread, no chicken products, a few pork products, along with some beef products. Multiple sections of the frozen food freezers emptied.
I do not understand how it is so many people, apparently, do not have enough food items stocked to last several days without starving. I was only low on bread. Freezer already had a ham, chicken wings, fish filets, chicken patties, pizza, and more. And out of the freezer lots of canned goods, plus a refrigerator with plenty of edibles.
Whilst not worried about starving, I am a bit worried the Texas electric grid is going to collapse, again, which is what happened the last time the temperature went below zero.
