Hey, I'm in Austin now! Been here about three years and yep, occasional freezes, but everyone loses their minds. People in brand new houses open all of the cabinets and run the water to keep the pipes from freezing...

Last year it even snowed here. Twice. Nothing major, just a thin layer of snow for a day or two, but the schools shut down. When I lived in SD a light rain would lead to everyone driving 20mph below the speed limit on the freeway.
