They are more prepared to deal with cold weather. I have skiied in mountainous areas, in the Western US.

Yes and no. Houses in the NC mountains are built on foundations, so all the pipes underneath the house in the crawlspace have to be insulated. 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 $$$.

I used to not get this vibe from Larry but yeah I’m kinda agreeing with you. He’s probably referring to what the CMC shows though.

It’s the GFS vs everyone else on staying chilly until Friday of next week. GFS moderates Wednesday and is mild Thursday and Friday before cooling down again.
