We are not used to this cold in Texas
I should be wearing flip flops, shorts a t-shirt and a hoodie, instead it is 3 degrees F and the power went out at 2:30 am. It just came on 10 minutes ago. I was out trying to boil water for coffee on the grill.
How are y'all doing? I reckon you northern folk are used to the cold so this is old news to you. I have lived in Tx since 1975 and never seen it lower than 16-17 degrees. AND we got snow.
Ugh, I want warm and sun. How do you people that get this stuff every year deal with it?
Re: We are not used to this cold in Texas
i live in the south also and cold weather doesnt hit us to often either. we arent as cold as you are but in the 30s raining for days and days is getting old quick. i hate the cold and i hate snow. that's why i didnt move back up north when i retired. every day arizona is looking better and better. i would say texas but you guys are getting it too haha
Re: We are not used to this cold in Texas
Freezing rain here in central KY. Today it snowed about 4 inches. Later this afternoon more sleet and freezing rain.
Re: We are not used to this cold in Texas
We had minus 20 degrees below zero this morning. I sat in 108 degree hot tub and my hair had ice sickles hanging off it. LOL

Re: We are not used to this cold in Texas
I saw the video of that crash in texas on I 35. Holy shit. That was horrific. I remember trying to drive in dallas in a mustang during an ice storm. That was the worst I ever saw. we dont even get that bad here, plus there are thousands of trucks dumping sand & salt everywhere . Around here, seems the shittier the roads get, the more people want to get out and drive. But at least here, it will all melt off in a few days and be warm again, but people in like Minnesota, they never see the ground for months.
Re: We are not used to this cold in Texas
We got some snow but alot all at once, then it turned into ice. Trees down, power outages, landslides. No snow here on the coast just gales and rain, like every day for the past month ! When I lived in Texas back in the day, I can only remember snow maby twice and it was just an over night dusting, melted before noon. I can't believe it's in the single digits ! [emoji3063]

I walked in to home depot today and asked them where their space heaters were. They started laughing. "we have been sold out of those for weeks. Good luck finding one anywhere!" lol

Biden got elected and hell froze over
Re: We are not used to this cold in Texas
I'm from the south too and ready for all this winter mix to move on. I love the cold weather, but this is just ridiculous lol.
Re: We are not used to this cold in Texas
It was sunny and 25 yesterday. Oh what a relief. Power is stable but so many water mains are busted we have to boil water.
Still WAY better than living in some 3rd world hell hole.
Texans are just ill prepared for this. I do not own a heavy jacket or any cold weather gear.
