U.S.-TEXAS-WINTER STORM

(220204) -- HOUSTON, Feb. 4, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on Feb. 3, 2022 shows a snow-covered baseball field in Plano, a suburban city of Dallas, Texas, the United States. Texas, the second largest U.S. state, is fighting "one of the most significant icing events ... in at least several decades" though statewide grid failure like the one that occurred in last year's freeze is not expected, Governor Greg Abbott said on Thursday. Temperatures plunged within 24 hours, power lines were downed by icing accumulation, tree breakage and high winds, leading to road closures and outages across the state. About 70,000 Texan households lost power as of 11:30 a.m. Thursday local time, said the governor at a news conference. (Photo by Tian Dan/Xinhua)
