(Bloomberg) -- A massive storm set to sweep the central U.S. has left nearly two-thirds of Texas under winter storm watches and weather advisories, as temperatures are set to plummet from highs in the upper 60s Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius) Tuesday to 14 degrees in Dallas Thursday night and 10 in Midland. A wide area of the state, including Dallas and Fort Worth, are expected to get a mix of ice and snow from Wednesday to Thursday, the National Weather Service said. The conditions will challenge the state's energy infrastructure, though it currently looks less likely to lead to a repeat of last February's cold snap that took down scores of power plants, triggering catastrophic blackouts that left more than 200 people dead.
