Texas doesnt have a bunch of snow plows at the ready cause it would be pointless to have them since we dont get snow except on super rare occasions. No one buys snow shovels becaus ewe dont get snow. This is dangerous and not being over dramatic because we dknt have the experience of snow and ice. So obviously it is gonna be more dangerous for us. Dude, just drive slow. Brake early and brake often. It isn't that complicated to not drive stupid. If you've driven in very heavy rain then that's a decent starting point for understanding how the roads will feel. I mean, obviously the roads will be worse than during a thunderstorm, but it's something I'm sure you can relate to. I mean, yeah you can get really good at driving in the snow. Like doing donuts in a huge snow covered parking lot is a ton of fun. I used to pull my e brake going around turns when the roads were empty at night. Making your car fishtail can be pretty fun too. The point is that driving safe should just be common sense. Start slow and increase speed until you no longer feel in control. It can be more complicated than that, but it really doesn't need to be. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 <cite>TommyG663513 posted [p:950648781] in Biggest st...

monkmith 02/14/21 10:42:00 PM #53:	TommyG663513 posted... You guys act like snow removal equipment is a save all to this. Often times that equipment can't keep up with the weather. People still need to deal with this stuff. Extreme snow storms can still take many days or even a week or two for snow removal to catch up. This topic started with a tweet showing off the hoarding people are up to over this. It is ridiculous. No reason to hoard like that. keep up with the weather? they dont even attempt to do that in my area. snow plows dont even go out until the snow stops, and even then they just do interstates and ramps. my area got a foot and a half of snow a few years back, never seen that much snow in my life before and apparently the last time we'd gotten that amount was in the 80s. it took my city a week to "clear" major roads. and by clear i mean that it went from "impossible to drive" to "well you're gonna fuck up your car". secondary streets never got cleared. side roads never got cleared. neighborhoods never got cleared. so even though those main streets were "cleared", unless you had a truck you'd never make it to them... it took two weeks for the snow to melt. --- Taarsidath-an halsaam.

I say this as someone who lives even farther north than that. I can absolutely understand Texas isn't equipped to handle what's happening and there's no reason to act like they should be and mock them for not. It's because they want recognition for the same problems they deal with every year "see what I deal with every year" but they have to hide that it's a problem so they say they're pros at handling it. --- Bitcoin! <cite>pick4six posted [p:950648825] in Biggest st...

TommyG663513 02/14/21 10:43:38 PM #56:	PatrickMahomes posted... I live in MN - an inch of snow in texas is more damaging than a foot in MN. The state spends millions annually on plows, salt, treatments, etc. to make the roads usable again. It's really quite impressive. How long have you been in MN? Yeah they do a lot of work to clear the roads, but there have been many winters where it has still been a struggle.

My weather app has constantly said it feels like -15 for days and thats completely not normal here (Im not in Texas). Most people dont have winter cars or tires and they dont own snow shovels.

Taharqa_ 02/14/21 10:49:15 PM #62:	Some people act like their understanding is bad. Snowy/icy conditions are dangerous in the south because the infrastructure is not equipped to handle it and people are simply not used to driving in those kind of conditions. Salt trucks? No. Winter tires? What's that? As far as weather goes we have humid heat waves,, heavy thunderstorms, tropical storms and hurricanes. Different regions deal with different things.

But yes people can learn to do donuts and stuff, you deal with it all the time so I'm sure you and everyone that lives up there is experienced in it. Down here is a different story and to expect peope to just know how is silly. People do have basic knowledge of what to do if your fish tailing and stuff but actually experience things and doing it in the moment is different then learning about it. Not to mention people will panic once they feel they are losing control.

Also, the ground down there won't be properly frozen which means the snow will have a more difficult time sticking around. Texas temperatures will be back into the 40's within a week after this storm. Again, this topic started with a tweet about people hoarding.

When the power goes out, and items aren't refrigerated for an hour or more, the store throws them out. My store has to throw out shelves and shelves of items that are meant to be kept cold. It has already happened to my HEB a few days ago. I was there today and the lights flickered off for about fifteen seconds but luckily came back on. Trees near power cables aren't trimmed in expectations of ice storms in Texas the way they are in northern states, so we get more power outages as a result. Also, the trees here aren't as coniferous, they are wider and droopier and cause more outages. Power outages don't just mess things up for grocery stores, they also cause food to spoil elsewhere or to make it impossible to transport. So yes ice messes up grocery stores badly in texas.
