20s isn't regular for us (south of I-10). This has been almost apocalyptic with all the city offices closing and the weathermen screaming about pets, plants, pipes, and old ppl. 3 Fridays ago was the first one that hit, and the city recorded over 800 accidents in that one day. I wonder how many of those accidents involved the city dumptrucks trying to dump sand all over the place.
