It is Thursday, February 18th. As I type, snowflakes fall in Austin, TX. This is the sixth consecutive day that temperature highs have not risen above freezing. We’re in the midst of record-setting frigid temperatures and a winter storm coating the area first with a layer of ice, followed by six inches of snow, and then again sheathed in inches of ice. The storm has introduced many difficulties to Texas this week.
Power outages. No heat. No phone service. Water outages and shortages. Frozen and burst water pipes flooding homes. COLD! These some of the many problems that we are dealing with over this last week in Texas.
