Thanks, got a kid working at HEB in the parking lot on Thursday and trying to figure out if it's going to be blowing in during his shift. Going to be brutal.

Foundations have built in warming - mother Earth. water lines and pipes in attics have to be insulated or dripped. When the temp was below 0°F, we definitely dripped water.
If the argument is that many houses in Texas are not sufficiently or are sloppily insulated, then I agree! That applies to summer energy costs big time as wel... I'm looking to see if we can blow or place more insulation in our western walls.
I have a plan to keep the garage and attic above freezing. We did well in Feb. 2021. Fingers crossed!
In the 2021 event we opened the attic stairwell, allowing the warmer house air to vent up into the attic space. The house was a bit cooler than we would've liked yet the attic temps stayed in the upper 40's to low 50's. I'll take that trade to save pipes and $$$.
In 2021, we had friends over in Austin who took every standard precaution but the pipes still froze under their kitchen island.
