Texas refineries are preparing for severe winter weather as the first significant storm of the season approaches, expected to bring cold temperatures, snow, and freezing rain. Forecasts suggest January could be the coldest month in 11 years, raising concerns about potential impacts on pipelines, equipment, and the power grid in an area critical to U.S. fuel supplies. Operators like Motiva and Exxon Mobil are implementing winterization measures, while experts highlight the risk of power outages and reduced demand due to people staying home during the storm.
