There are 9,000 people caged in the downtown Houston jail, most of them solely because they can't pay cash. The situation is getting dire: "We don't have any running water anymore". When asked about water, guards have said: "you shouldn't have fucking gotten locked up".

Thanks, man. I just said to u/signus that I wasn't aware of the extent of snow and cold there. Almost a week. That is wild.

I think Texas normally gets more snow than where I'm from. Most years, we only get a few flakes. It was -1 C last night. Probably the coldest it's going to get all year.
