Thought OP said their power was out, and most of my texan friends have electric heat (not gas) so it seemed safe enough to issue the warning. Bringing a bunch of snow into your house will absolutely make it colder, both for the repeated trips outside to haul it in and for the water to reach ambient temperature in the tub.
I haven't been able to heat my house since 2am because of a lack of power. They said the outages would only be for 45 minutes at a time but I haven't had any power all day.
I mean yes if your heat is out. But if your heat is out it's going to be very cold very soon. It's up to you to prioritize freshwater over the next few days vs inviting lower temperatures in a few hours earlier...🙄
