Yeah it's not as if Texas was frozen over helpless and without power not too long ago

  The freeze would've been pleasant if it weren't for the power failure

    No, it wasn't. I had power the entire time and I had to help neighbors whose vehicles would not start and deal with dangerous roads. No one in Texas has the correct winter tires and cities lack the infrastructure to clear the roads quickly. It was dangerous, not pleasant, even with electricity.

          As a Minnesotan I concur, but most people don’t put winter tires on. It’s infuriating. For those not in the know, the rubber is formulated to be softer at cold temperatures. Summer/performance tires get ridiculously hard and all-season tires are “meh” at best.

          And winter tires are just as terrifying on ice.

      Oh please, I was driving the whole time. It was fun if anything.
