Also, interesting that whoever wrote this is calling it the great texas freeze. First I've heard it called that, most of the folks I know call it Snowmeggedon.

I assume the effects on other species were similar. The purple martin data was available. OKIsItJustMe Saturday #2

We've had martins for over 30 years but after the freeze we didn't have any for 2 years in a row. walkingman Saturday #3
