It's been rough and it's not over yet. Lots of broken pipes and sprinkler heads. Thankfully there wasn't much ice on the roads or it would've been very dangerous.

I am worried about the future, as long as I've been alive I've only been in negative wind chills 2 times in Texas and the last one was 2021. Last weekend, i saw wind chill around -5 or -8 and this was after a particularly hot summer with plenty of Temps around 110. Usually we are in the 40s with dips down to the 20s when it gets cold.

And of course, the government is doing more to male the problems worse tha better
