Texas in a State of Winter Emergency! Schools closed! Oh the humanity!

[Tradewind]

The Lone Star State under siege from fluffy white shit! Oh Lawd!!

Ok maybe it's worse in some areas but seriously, schools are closing for that? I don't get it!! If I hear on the weather there's going to be snow and I woke up to only that I would be excited! Fuckin' put your big boy pants on Texas.

They can't shoot snow, what do?

Having lived in northern Ontario most of my life....southern areas make me giggle !

Muwahaha Now you will share are pain from other states that get snow!

I've had a pile of snow on either side of my driveway that's about 2 feet high since October, so yes, I agree.

One of my guildies d/ced in the middle of a flex raid and he lives in Texas. A little concerned for him.

course they can silly

[Spraxle]

Meh, I'm sure if they cancelled school it was probably ice (or fear of ice) related. Here in Kansas it takes some bad weather to get schools closed. But people who never see it don't know how to react so they spaz, usually on the road.

[Zari]

trust me you do not want to see Texans trying to drive on icy roads. safer to just shut everything down :P

That's a great way to ruin your driveway too!

[MrExcelion]

States like TX do it because they have the days to spare for this sort of thing. But yeah, we over dramatize it and people aren't as experienced handling the driving conditions.

Try living in the UK. "Oh noes there is a slight hint of frost, well no public transport for you!"

Who cares......its better than having your arms hurt from all the showeling.

One picture from a Reddit post is hardly legitimate grounds for criticism against Texas.

If you shovel it promptly it doesn't get time to turn to ice like that :P

Clearly you do not understand how the internets work. Anything is grounds to annoy Texans.

Places that hardly ever get snow don't have the infrastructure in place to deal with it (and rightly so, given what that costs). Even a light dusting can render roads very dangerous when you don't have a fleet of salt trucks and snow plows that can deal with the snow within an hour. Unsalted roads are very, very dangerous, regardless of how much snow has fallen.

Vehicle design is also often different in states that don't experience extreme weather conditions, meaning they often lack features that cars in less hospitable states have as a practical standard.

The Texas situation looks silly when you look at it in isolation, but in practice playing it safe when your state's infrastructure isn't set up to deal with snow is the right call.

Let me restate: I think this is more revealing about you than it is about the Texans.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I think this reflects more on you than it does on the Texans.

Let him play. It's a turn on
