There may be a time period where in the Rio Grande Valley it may get to freezing or close to freezing, but it's not going to be like it was then.

And that's not going to be the case this time. And so not only are we better prepared to withstand what would have happened four years ago, but the conditions this time will not be quite as severe as they were last time, even though the temperatures may be lower.
