IT MIGHT STILL NOT BE TOO LATE TO SAVE YOUR PLANTS

(Ed.'s Note: Whether it's your "Corona de Cristo," your "Lengua De Suegra," or the "Amor De Rato," plants, you are in danger of losing them to frigid temperatures that arrived overnight. The Weather Channel indicates that it's a chilly 28 degrees in South Texas at 6 a.m. with the wind chill factor in the teens. A freeze warning has been issued until noon on Friday.

The family above – whose plants were decimated by the 2020 freeze – wasn't taking any chances. When they learned of the coming frigid front approaching, they chose to bring them into a hallway and then moved the rest that didn't fit into a shed and placed a tarp on them for extra protection. If you act quickly and can stand an arctic wind, you could still bring some of your exposed green buddies indoors. However, good luck finding tarps. Last time we checked, most retailers had sold out.

We ran into animal-rights advocate Pat Ahumada and he told us that if you place large cardboard boxes with a cut-out entrance, it would provide shelter for cats caught outside in the blowing northern. Bundle up yourselves as well if you need to wander outdoors. Otherwise, stay inside.The highs today are forecast to be in the mid-30s and then plunge again overnight into Saturday.)
