The second largest and populous US state is set to experience one of the coldest winters of the decade. According to the winter storm warning, temperatures in these areas are expected to drop as low as negative 12 celsius. 

Areas like Houston and San Antonio might record the coldest nights of February, ranging temperatures from -12C to -13C. 

Governor Greg Abbott already released notice on Friday to all their residents to be ready for the upcoming strong winter. 

"Every part of the state of Texas will face freezing conditions. That includes all the way down to Brownsville, Texas, over the coming days," Abbott said in a press conference. "In many of those locations across the state of Texas, the high temperature for the day will be in the single digits."
