Houston Sets Up Lifeline with Warming Centers as Arctic Blast Looms

As Houston braces for a bone-chilling Arctic front, the city is setting up warming centers to shield residents from the bitter cold slated to plunge temperatures into potentially life-threatening territory. The Houston Chronicle reports that the cold front, bringing temperatures down to the 20s and possibly teens, is an unwelcome reminder of the disastrous freeze of 2021. In response to the imminent freeze, the City of Houston and Harris County have announced several warming stations open to the public for those in need of refuge.
