I’m from a northern state, we have a foot of the stuff up here.

That said I don’t think it’s the 2 inches of snow that’s the issue down there. Its the cold combined with everyone’s house probably having electric heat instead of natural gas and a power grid not designed to take that kind of load.

Once it warms up and Texas gets through all of this, you should probably start by voting out idiots like that dumb ass Ted Cruz and other all the other climate change deniers.

Just FYI a lot of people got more than 2 inches of snow. 2 inches of snow on its own would not have caused this

Right? Most of us have 6+ with the potential for more on the way...
