4. People From Cold Places Will Make Fun of You.
Inevitably, once a really cold day hits our area, people from colder climates will make fun of us. It's generally good-natured, but, let's face it, when your fingers feel like they might just shatter like icicles if you tap them too hard (which you're doing, since you can no longer feel them) no one wants to hear some chucklehead from Michigan joke about it being shorts and T-shirt weather. Don't worry though, eventually they'll experience some freak heatwave where they live, and you can laugh at their horror of being subjected to 95 degree weather.
3. You Will Be Told to Drip Your Faucets, (and Other Advice.)
Which is good advice, because burst pipes is definitely a bummer. And you'll be told to check your car's antifreeze too, which is also a good idea. Every time the weather gets notably cold in Houston, I hear the same advice, so I guess it's a good idea to do those things. I'll also add that bringing in outdoor pets should be something people do. I don't care if a dog is an "outside dog," if I see one chained to a tree in 25 degree weather, I'm calling in a complaint.
