'Unprecedented' Arctic weather shocks Texas

At least five people have died after rare ice storms, frigid temperatures and heavy snowfall swept across the southern US.
Subfreezing temperatures have caused massive power outages in Texas and all across the Deep South - and officials are urging people to stay home as the winter storms continue to shut roads and cause traffic pile-ups.
President Joe Biden has declared a federal emergency in Texas, where temperatures plunged to -22C (-7.6F).

Who would have guessed, I live in Alaska and it's warmer here than it is in Texas, seriously what the frick.

I'm in Texas and have been without power for over 30 hours, my home is so cold and my sinks are frozen. I have no running water. It's not a very good situation. I'm wearing winter gear inside the house. I've got my dog tucked into three shirts and jackets to keep her warm. We're both huddled under mounds of blankets trying to stay warm.
