Sitting at 33/32 here NW of the loop. Dewpoints have risen several degrees. Looks like I will be right on the line of freezing rain versus cold rain.

Man I'm soooooo glad it's just all rain here and not ice again
Ice storms like this are common on NC, GA. Texans are I’ll prepared. NC has more underground electric lines. Our neighborhood lines are underground. But so mane lines above ground.
Some good news. Temp has inched above freezing . Have hope the above ice melts.

May finish with .4 plus of ice overnight.

I know there are a few from the Angleton area here... There is a boil water notice and with continuing issues with the 911 service the usual emergency message wasn't sent via the phone.
Virtually no water pressure anyways...

Through this entire event all we ever got was ice pellets. We had ice up to 3" think on our vehicles and at least 1/2" on our neighborhood streets. Not what I had in mind for an epic winter storm.
Sorry but some people's expectations were maybe too much as most models showed mainly a sleet storm around the I-10 corridor. With snow well off to the north across Northern portions of southeast Texas. While there was a possibility the air would be colder and support snow,most models never showed that for the central and coastal counties. And I'm not sure about your area but I know here in Houston we received about a 50/50 mix of sleet and small snowflakes.
