The week before last, temperatures in many U.S. states fell to record lows. As Interfax reports, Texas was the most severely affected, more than 4.4m people were left without power, and there were casualties. Extreme weather conditions prompted significant changes in people’s lives, but they try to keep their spirits up. For you we rounded up photos which will show how cold it is now in Texas, whose inhabitants are not accustomed to such weather.
