Coming up at about 10:30 a.m. -- Gov. Greg Abbott to address the state's preps for the approaching Arctic storm. Watch live here
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said last week that it is monitoring weather forecasts and"expects sufficient generation to meet forecasted demand."While this is a potentially dangerous winter storm with temperatures well below freezing, it's not shaping up to be a repeat of the prolonged cold we saw in February 2021.
By comparison, this event will have sub-freezing temperatures for only about two days. In February 2021, it was below freezing for more than five days. In February 2021 there were several inches of snow blanketed North Texas. For this event, only a few flurries are expected. This event is not expected to be an ice event, which contributed to power outages in February 2021. Wind and cold are the primary threats in this event.Before the cold, replace worn weatherstripping on doors and windows to ensure there is a good seal. This will make sure warm air stays inside and cold air stays outside. Most modern windows are sealed inside the frame, but older windows may be sealed with a glaze that can crack and need replacing.
