I do the same. And a big chunk of Texas is expecting snow and/or ice this weekend, including Houston.
I grocery shopped on Tuesday knowing it was going to get crazy.
I got a picture of a grocery store in northwest Houston this evening - there was a line just to get in to the store. It looks worse than before a hurricane.
We are half tempted to escape N Texas for San Antonio, except for one thing.
I35.
What kinda mess will I 35 be on Friday night, especially if the storm tracks just a little south?
And I will be back on Monday for work, unless we all die.
Looks like freezing temps may be fairly south in the state.
