I've lived in the Houston and surrounding area for over 25 years. We've had our "snow" days. Last time was in late '08, and early '09. 

Yesterday, February 14, 2021, Valentine's Day started some of the worst winter weather for the area that has ever been recorded. Right now, the power has been out for less than 30 minutes, and I don't see it coming back on for another couple of days.

I'd just woken up about 5 maybe 10 minutes before the lights went out. I didn't have my phone plugged, but thank goodness we live in this technological day and age because all I had to do was put my phone on an external charger. 

This weather reminds me of when my parents, my only sibling and I lived in NC on a mountain.
