When you seldom experience sub-freezing temps for decades knowing what to do to handle it isn't fresh in your mind. Warnings could have and should have gone out ahead of time since it was known what was coming. Instead, after the fact we have blaming and finger pointing. Since there's only a month or so of winter left will anything get done to prevent a recurrence?
