The salt and plows are existing materials and equipment that many states either don't have on hand, or have very little of.

It's also a question of budgeting for the man hours

I'm not saying they should do anything just that the video in question is how professionals do it.

However what Texas probably does have a lot of are bulldozers and in a pinch those can be made to plow snow.

Of course plowing a state the size of texas is pretty much impossible for their economy. It's too much land to cover and plowing snow is a very slow affair.

god damn that sounds awful

Also been seeing a lot of houses being destroyed by burst pipes on TikTok the past couple of days. Its warming up this weekend but its gonna be fucking months until these people have remotely normal lives again.

reminds me of the floods in Nebraska a couple years ago. Theres still people trying to recover from that.
