It's Day 3 of the brutal Winter Storms hitting the Greater Houston area.

The arctic blast is nearing its end, but we're not out of the woods weather-wise yet. Temperatures have been ticking up today, but will fall to freezing levels again tonight in some areas.

On top of that, the massive power outage continues. And today, a boil water notice was announced for the City of Houston and much of Harris County. You should assume you are under a boil water notice unless you’ve heard differently from your local authorities.

We want to help you get through another day.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and officials from the County and State level join us with updates and life-saving tips, along with Houston Public Media reporters.

Guests are:

Ron Reynolds:

• Texas State Representative for District 27
• Member of the Energy Resources Committee for the State of Texas

Sylvester Turner:

• Houston Mayor

Ed Hirs:

• Energy Fellow, University of Houston

Katie Watkins:

• Environmental Reporter, Houston Public Media

Laurie Johnson:

• Executive Producer for News, Houston Public Media

Mark Sloan:

• Coordinator, Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management

Houston Public Media reporter Matt Harab also joins Ernie with updates on food supplies at local grocery stores and restaurants.

***Winter Weather Resources (where to find supplies, updates, etc.) available at here.***

Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day’s most important and pressing issues.

Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.
