And with windchill, it's well below 0°F.

I've lived in Texas all my life and can't remember the last time that happened.

You won't feel the windchill inside, but it will amplify the impact of draughty buildings/poor insulation.

Yeah it's crazy. The water pressure in my apartment has dropped so much I basically don't have running water. The upstream pipes must be mostly frozen.

Luckily I stocked up on soup before all this so I'll last until the freeze breaks.
