Houston will have an ice storm early Monday morning. We'll have about 12 hours of ice, and temperatures below freezing, then it will melt.
People are panic buying at the stores. Businesses will close 2 days in advance.
It's scary... almost like a mini mini ice-age.
In the past, cultures would sacrifice a virgin to a volcano to assuage the climate gods.
Is Greta Thunberg doing anything on Saturday?
I live just north of DFW - also a life-long Texan. I would say that staying below freezing for longer than 3-4 days is a 20-30 year event. This one is 8 days minimum.
Remember Icemaggedon back in 2013 or 2014 where we invented cobblestone ice and everything was shut down for like a week. That was crazy! It has barely snowed since then. I bought sleds for my niece and nephews for Christmas after that happened and it's like I cursed them. It used to snow once or twice a year when I was growing up, but after I bought them sleds it never freaking snowed lol. They will finally get to use them after having them for about seven years!!!! Hahahaha
