>> This aint our first freeze.
@CBP210: But for some reason Houston forgets and acts like it's the first.
@donnatella: Â Unusual weather (heat, freezes, hurricanes, storms, drought, etc) give weathermen and field reporters their chance in the spotlight. Â So they often exaggerate the events. Â If the temperature is expected to get anywhere near freezing, they will say it's going to freeze. Â If they say it's going to be just above freezing, and it freezes, they get a lot of angry "customers". Â So, in their mind, it's better to predict a freeze and everyone will be happy if it doesn't quite get that cold.
