If you've seen anything in the news about the snowstorms in Texas and their impact, it's not exaggerated in the slightest. I spent the storm days insulating my bedroom as much as possible, (gave up on trying to keep any other part of apartment warm) trying to keep in as much heat as possible when the power was on for 2-3 hours, then waiting out the 4-6 hour power outages in my bed blanket fort with my dog.  But, we made it! We kept the bedroom temperature above 40 degrees, the power is now back on, we're fortunate enough to have clean water, and now the dog and I are going to sleep in the blanket fort for fun. Going to be posting more art soon, hope you all are safe and warm!

Yeah, these rolling blackouts and the number of downed trees were pretty impressive. I also live in texas (East Texas, between Dallas and Houston) and we were unpacking coats and blankets that haven’t been needed in over 10 years! We piled everyone in one room, and allowed the dog in too. The kitchen was 34 degrees, the fridge was warmer than the kitchen... such strange weather for this part of the world. The road crews and emergency workers didn’t have the infrastructure or supplies to handle frozen roads and snow and ice. Most people don’t even own heavy coats around here.
