Warming Centers Open In Abilene As Brutal Winter Storm Hits Texas

If you or someone you know in Texas doesn't have a place to keep warm in the brutally cold temperatures, the city of Abilene has a solution.

How Cold Will It Be?

As of this writing, temperatures in the Abilene area were around 10 degrees around 9 am, with highs expected to be only in the mid-20s before dropping to 8 degrees overnight. Wednesday looks to be the same with more sub-zero temperatures before a warming trend starts this Sunday.

I don't know about you, but I'm done with this winter stuff.
