I have experienced similar cold weather here (once) in the Ark-La-Tex area back in or around 1982. The Red river froze over and I was able to walk to my duck blind some 300 yards out into the lake. Memory say's we had -18 with wind chill. You speak of home insulation, and back then we here were not set up for that type of weather. Homes were flooded due to frozen/busted water pipes including mine. Waiting list to re carpet the house was 30 days because of all the homes that had damage. It is the only time I might say we were close to seeing what you guys are seeing now.
It's going to be high 60's to low 70's over the nest 5 days. Fish will be moving up to the shallows enjoying some of the rays
