Drifting down below freezing at night, and back above freezing during the say, is a common state for winter in Texico. That's nothing new, it's thoroughly expected.
Heck, we're going to be in the 60s by next Tuesday and the 70s for New Year's Eve.
Beyond that, the ground is still quite warm because it's early in the season. Feb 2021 was the END of the winter season so the ground was much colder already, which reinforced the problems occurring from the freeze.
I guess people have PTSD about 2021, but that was a once-in-ten-generations kind of event, and this one isn't shaping up to be anything like that.
I just think it's silly to overreact, and for the most part people I hear doing all of their hand-wringing over it, have a political motivation for doing so.
