Call out the National Guard!
It’s going to be below freezing in Houston! For a day! Maybe two days! Maybe two and a half days! Maybe it’ll break the record 53-hour freeze!
There may be sleet!
Run! Run for your liiiiiiiiiives!
(Actually, the last is not bad advice. Whatever you do, don’t drive. There is a reason every person I know who has lived in a Northern climate and cut their teeth driving in real winter conditions is already calling in sick Friday. We can drive on ice; that’s not the problem. It’s everyone else. They’re idiots. The first thing you learn when driving on ice? Don’t drive when the idiots are out.)
(And yes, you heard that right. The record fifty-three hour freeze. Ha! I knew I moved here for a reason! Fifty-three hours of twenty-degree weather? I once suffered through six weeks of sub-zero temps. Fifty-three hours! I could kiss this Arctic cold front!)

The real question is, did the experienced-with-ice Alaskan get to go for a horse ride during the freeze? That’s ok, we know it would not have been worth risking the drive!
My horse, who usually has an attitude anyways, was actually very mad at me that I couldn’t make the cold go away…His face, neck, belly, and legs are super fuzzy this year and his body is slick for the blanket. In my 4 winters with him, this is his fuzziest coat. I just love it! Like a black & white panda bear.
