We were in the ice storm two winters ago. We are ready this time. 13 days without electricity sucked. We are on a well. Luckily we have a fireplace. We boarded up the room and kept the fire going. Not having water sucks. We did fill the tubs but never was there any threat of death. 5 degrees is cold but was manageable.
The worst part was two inches of freezing rain they killed about 50 trees and took down limbs on the north side of all the trees. A mess.
We lost a water line out to the boat dock, power was out for about two days straight then sporadically. But we have a generator and are very experienced at surviving storms of all kinds.
A neighbor has a 2 story house and didn't turn his water off, didn't let faucets drip, when we lost power he was asleep and when he woke he had busted pipes upstairs.
He didn't know until it thawed and he flooded his whole house, it was about 90 thousand to fix and he did it on the cheap. He's from Chicago, moved down here to escape the cold.....
We even told him to turn his water off and drain his lines, but nope.
Good luck, and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

My daughter is flying to Texas a few days after Christmas. Its going to be a big shock to the system for her as she's never seen snow or experienced such cold weather and it's our summer here and we're expecting around 37celcius on Christmas day.
we'll be a little warmer by then, we don't usually get much below the 50s or 40s down here. But North Texas sits right tere almost on the north pole, nothing between Amarillo and the North Pole except a barb wire fence.
We shouldn't have any snow by then...
Merry Christmas.
