Are you in the US Southern states dealing with the frigid weather?

I’m not, but a lot of my friends are.

Tell us some stories about what you are dealing with or people you know.

I have a friend in Memphis giving shelter to geese and feeding them bits of food, but she says they are starving.

A former coworker of mine just had a pipe burst in Texas and the floor flooded and the drywall already soaked up some of the water.

I have friends in multiple Southern cities who lost powered who have been in rolling blackouts for a few days. Many of them have electric heat so they are extremely cold in their homes.

It’s bad. I just turned to the weather channel and my parents are due for some snow, they are in the DC area. DC of course is more accustomed to cold and snow than TX and TN, but they are in their seventies and I hope my mom doesn’t go out and shovel in such freezing weather, and big snows mean worries about their roof caving in.
