I'm so frustrated when the temperature drops in H-Town

Anyway, I think it's awesome that the city is reopening those warming centers though! 
It's like, totally necessary, you know? 
At least 12 of them are fully operational, which is more than enough to keep people safe and warm. Plus, all those other facilities will be open too, so people have plenty of options.
