I saw this in the paper this morning, and I have to say that this is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. 
The article never really said why the people did it though...was it really just for fun??? 
And what is this supposed nationwide event? I don't understand this story much at all.
Glad I wasn't there to experience it.

Lows for my area are now not quite as cold as before, but still are expected to be around 18 degrees. That's WAY to cold for me.

...AN ARCTIC AIRMASS TO BRING FRIGID TEMPERATURES TO NORTH TEXAS
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE IN NORTH TEXAS TONIGHT AND BRING
AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING BEGINNING AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT AND SHOULD BRIEFLY RISE ABOVE FREEZING SATURDAY AFTERNOON
ACROSS MOST OF NORTH TEXAS. TEMPERATURES WILL THEN FALL BACK BELOW
FREEZING SATURDAY NIGHT. STRONG NORTH WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH WILL ACCOMPANY THE ARCTIC FRONT TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN FRIGID WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS AND
SINGLE DIGITS ON THURSDAY ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. WIND CHILLS MAY
DROP BELOW ZERO FOR AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20 FRIDAY MORNING
AND AGAIN SATURDAY MORNING.
IN ADDITION TO THE ARCTIC AIR...A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS EVENING...BEFORE CHANGING OVER TO PATCHY LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN OR DRIZZLE BEFORE DAYBREAK THURSDAY MORNING. AREAS
NORTH OF A GATESVILLE TO ATHENS LINE WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY
LOCATIONS TO SEE FROZEN PRECIPITATION. NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS
OF ICE ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...SOME PATCHY LIGHT
ICING IS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...MAINLY ON ELEVATED BRIDGES
AND OVERPASSES THAT REMAIN WET AS THE ARCTIC AIR MOVES IN. THIS
COULD RESULT IN SOME SLICK SPOTS FOR THE THURSDAY MORNING COMMUTE.
RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MAKE PREPARATIONS NOW. A HARD FREEZE CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO EXPOSED WATER PIPES AND CAN DAMAGE SENSITIVE
VEGETATION. OUTDOOR PETS WILL ALSO REQUIRE PLENTY OF SHELTER AND
PROTECTION FROM FRIGID TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS. EXTRA
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WILL BE NEEDED FOR ANYONE EXPECTED TO BE
OUTDOORS DURING THIS TIME... ESPECIALLY CHILDREN GOING TO AND
FROM SCHOOL. LAYERS OF CLOTHING AND AN INSULATED WINTER COAT AND
HAT WORK BEST TO INSULATE THE BODY FROM THE EXTREME COLD.
