The weather in Houston has gotten so bad this week that the city called an emergency meeting Thursday to brief personnel on the perils of "frigid weather."
We're not used to seeing water in its third state and aren't quite sure how to deal with the onslaught of this new foreign substance: Ice.
So tell us, Houston, have your pipes exploded? Have you been letting your faucets drip? Topped off your antifreeze? Have you, like my mother, been collecting the neighborhood's strays and putting them in the shower-turned-temporary-kennel to shield them from the elements?
Tell us your cold weather stories, and feel free to send pictures to caroline@culturemap.com.
Stay warm!
