The worst is over in Austin and it got to 17 but that didn’t touch the all-time record (single digits). I lived near Galveston in 1981 and remember it getting to 11 degrees then (with ice) so color me unimpressed.
I like to have one good hard freeze every winter to kill off the bugs that would otherwise come out in the spring.

Dude...you sound like my wife!
Ours in Georgia ran through here last night from about 2 AM through 9 AM this morning. Got down to 4 degrees here in NGA by my own outside thermometer.
Poor old heater was trying real hard. I sat here for an hour around sunup and timed the cycles. 11 minutes on, 3 minutes off. The exhaust pipe barely had time to get cooler to the touch...it’s 21 here now and the heating system has some breathing room now.
I hope it got to all these stinkbugs in the east.
