Texas Deep Freeze Begins Big Chill Friday With Snow


Snow is in the forecast for Friday, with the high that day being 42 degrees, as measured by the Fahrenheit method, with a low of 10 degrees.

And, then more snow on Saturday, with the high that day being 14 degrees, again as measured by the Fahrenheit method. With the low on Saturday being a super chilly 6 degrees.

The last time it got so cold, most of Texas lost electrical power. I had to escape to a hotel which had power. When power returned the nightmare was not over. Pipes had frozen, rendered broken and leaking upon thawing.

I was without water for a couple days. I think I may have returned to the hotel. I don't remember. 

Today and tomorrow will be above freezing. And then the deep freeze arrives for several days.

I wish I still had cross country skis. I threw them away years ago when the Texas heat delaminated them when I stupidly stored them in a storage closet which was not part of the area which got air-conditioned. That also ruined my roller blades.

I doubt Academy Sports in this town sells cross-country skis, due to there being extremely little demand for such.
