I haven’t been over yet. Had someone else just check and everything is still ok. There’s very very few basements in TX, so don’t have to worry about that.
Electric’s been on for about 24 hours now continuously. Just hope nothing bursts with the thaw coming tomorrow and Sunday.
I forget you guys don’t have basements.

Because in a fluid medium such as gas the colder, denser fluid sinks and the warmer, less dense fluid rises.
This is heat transfer via convection.
In a solid medium such as dirt and stone heat penetrates via conduction (i.e., gradually downward into the ground) when the group d temperature is colder than the air temperature and escapes via the same path and heat transfer mechanism when the ground temperature is warmer than the air temperature.
Finally there is heat transfer via radiation which you can look up if interested.
Soil itself does not freeze solid. It is the water in the soil that freezes. Totally dry soil or sand still flows when below freezing.
sugar is glucose (C6H12O6)):

Thank you Carbon!!
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
Austin Energy Rolling-Outages-Prevaricator Jackie Sargent is spewing her tapdancing, spin doctoring, goalpost-moving platitudes in response to quesions of when people will get the electricity or water back.
Sargent’s name should be prominently mentioned in any Texas legislators’ investigative report on what (and who) went wrong.
