On this day in 1945, legendary sharpshooter Elizabeth Toepperwein passed away at her home in San Antonio. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1882, she met her future husband, Adolph “Ad” Toepperwein, at age eighteen while working in a Wi******er factory. Ad was a vaudeville exhibition shooter for the Wi******er Arms Company, and after their marriage in 1903, he began teaching Elizabeth how to shoot—quickly realizing she had extraordinary natural talent. By 1904, the couple launched a professional shooting career, making their debut as a husband-and-wife act at the St. Louis World’s Fair.

Elizabeth earned the nickname “Plinky” after successfully hitting a tin can during her early training, joking, “I plinked it”—a phrase that may have helped popularize the term in shooting culture. Over a remarkable forty-year career, she and Ad amazed audiences with daring stunts, including shooting while upside down and lying on their backs. Elizabeth broke barriers as the first woman in the United States to qualify as a national marksman with a military rifle and the first to hit 100 consecutive trapshooting targets. She also set a world endurance record by striking 1,952 out of 2,000 targets in just over five hours. Fellow legend Annie Oakley once praised her, saying, “Mrs. Top, you're the greatest shot I've ever seen.” Today, artifacts from the Toepperweins’ incredible legacy are preserved at the Buckhorn Saloon in San Antonio.

Expect another widespread freeze overnight with many areas dropping below the freezing mark once again. However, compared to the last couple of nights temps will not be quite as cold. Expect wind chills in the teens to 20s under calm to light northwest winds. Stay warm

As this winter storm moves through, our hearts turn toward one simple hope: that everyone stays safe and protected. We pray for warmth in every home, peace in every worried heart, and strength for those who must face the cold so others don’t have to.

May the roads remain manageable, the lights stay on, and helping hands reach those in need. And above all, may every essential worker—every driver, responder, and caregiver—return home safely to the ones who are waiting for them.

In moments like this, we’re reminded how powerful prayer, kindness, and community truly are. ❄️🙏
