Drive a Cadillac and freeze a Yankee

In a state that once sang 'Freeze a Yankee,' the myth of an invincible
Texas crumbles

A water main break on Thursday, February 18, 2021, caused flooding on
West Magnolia Avenue and surrounding streets. The winter weather and
record low temperatures have caused numerous water main breaks in the
city.

FORT WORTH

Forty years ago, Texans felt so indestructible that we sang along when
a Dallas radio station played "Freeze a Yankee":

Cut off the gas, turn off the oil

And let 'em all freeze and boil

After the most costly storm in state history destroyed homes,
businesses, cities and lives, songwriter Bob Arnold of Dallas said
last week was "just completely embarrassing" for Texas.

"Now the Yankees are not freezing -- we are," he said.
