Texas is experiencing a significant cold snap, with cities like Austin and San Antonio facing some of the coldest temperatures in nearly a month. Austin is preparing for the chilly weather by opening cold weather shelters on Saturday night, Feb. 17, with registration available at One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Road, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, residents can call (512) 972-5055. San Antonio is also bracing for below-freezing wind chills and a strong cold front that brought a light freeze to the area. Southeast Texas is not exempt, as a light freeze is possible for parts of the region on Sunday, followed by a rapid warm-up. Questions are being raised about whether this will be the last freeze of the winter season.
