Required to predict weather all day, this East Texas meteorologist took the guesswork out of lunchtime. 

 


 

And even Texas Gov. Greg Abbott decided the icy roads were a good excuse for a Whataburger stop.



Confused about how to make sure your pipes don’t freeze? We’ve got you covered.

 


 

Fans who had to drive somewhere found a good use for those stolen table tents. (Ahem.)
