What a difference a week makes.  It'll be in the mid to upper 70s today.  It felt like 15 this time last week.  A deep freeze hit Texas and dumped snow and ice on areas that haven't seen it in decades.  Sub-freezing temps also overwhelmed the state's power grid and left millions without power, water and with nowhere warm to stay.  This is among the stories I filed from Fort Bend County (where my photographer and I spent four days chronicling how that area coped).  I found a woman, her daughter and two grandchildren sleeping in the lobby of our hotel.  They agreed to be part of the story.
