Hopefully that's 5C and not 5F.

Approximately zero chance that that would be 5C

  We were at 14F this morning...

I don’t think Texans are legally allowed to use non-freedom units.

We were at 0 F today morning north of Dallas.

  Wow, I had no idea it had gotten _that_ cold down there. I've never seen it that cold here in the PNW - west of the Cascades, anyway.

    Denver Metro was -15F the other day. Though they are built for it, unlike Austin. This cold snap is having a fun time with the whole middle of NA.

    We hit -14 F yesterday in OKC.

  That’s rough. I’ve bundled up without power with little ones for 4 day, but it was mid 20’s. Keep warm however you can, safely...and good luck, don’t wait and cross fingers, take action.

Why would it be celcius? I made it very clear that I'm in Dallas, and we don't use Celcius. That's not a knock against Celcius, frankly it's just a knock on you for the dumb comment.

  The comment is just hoping that they have some degree of warmth in their apartment and not way below freezing. That's not dumb.

  While you (and siblings) are all correct, I don't get the down voting of the poor guy trying to make a joke while being considerate-ish and hoping that you guys were actually warmer than you were. That said, I've been out in the hammock in 0F here, including snow and wind chill on top and been warm (oh wait, I'll be down voted too). It's all about insulation, which actually helps in both warm and cold weather. You can see that in Spain for example, where they have very warm weather (like Texas) in summer. It's a fallacy to believe though that there's no insulation used and that there's no heating in Spain.

    Making jokes is for Reddit, not HN

      The more time I spend on Hacker News, the more it just seems like Reddit to me. All the worst impulses are still here. The dog-piling, the comments that were made without opening the article, the low-effort jokes. At least there's no pun threads.

      I find that jokes can work out fine on HN. The catch is that it can't be a low-effort joke. People on reddit run jokes into the ground so far that they need to bring a passport to be prepared for their arrival in China.
