Over the long weekend, Texas and other places in the US have had a random spell of extremely cold weather.
As you can imagine, for a region that doesn't see snow at all, up to eight inches of it is somewhat of an anomaly. And it did cause a great deal of disturbances, with power outages and ongoing rescue operations.
Plus, the National Weather Service (NWS) stated more than 150 million Americans were now under winter storm warnings, which makes it all the more stressful for Texans and other residents alike.
But some people on social media are finding the Texas snow idea somewhat of a meme source since these two things sound like the least compatible thing on the planet. Meanwhile, other Twitter users have already apologized for poking fun at the Texas snowstorm.

The unprecedented winter storm has been everything but funny as it continues to wreak havoc on Texas and other places across the US. Normally winter-averse cities have been suffering from freezing cold because the jet stream has changed and ushered Arctic air above the US and Canada borders.
The National Weather Service (NWS) announced that more than 150 million people were under a winter storm warning, winter weather advisory, or ice storm warning in 25 states, from southern Texas to northern Maine. The widespread storm has caused about 11 deaths which were reported in Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Louisiana.

The storm also caused a lot of concerning disturbances, leaving Texas and surrounding states in crisis. First, the high demand for electricity in the state has caused the power grid to fail. Rolling blackouts left 4.3 million people in freezing temperatures without electricity.
Rolling blackouts have been imposed in some areas to conserve power for hospitals, police, and fire stations, leaving over 4.3 million people without electricity. In addition, the Sunday storm knocked out almost half of the state's wind power capacity that makes up one of the main sources of the state’s electricity.
On top of that, icy roads caused traffic incidents and people are now advised to avoid traveling as much as they can.

Yeah, Russia did something similar to that and sold public roads and utilities, etc to the oligarchs. They did nothing to improve those services. In fact, they got much much worse. Neglected and allowed to crumble, in many cases. So, privatization is not the answer. The answer is for those with the means to pay their fair share of taxes, which is the revenue that pays for public services. Been robbed and want a cop? Tax revenue pays their salary. House burning down and need the Fire Department to put it out? Tax revenue pays their salaries. Need an ambulance to get to the Emergency Room? Taxes at least used to pay for paramedics and ambulances. You want these services—-and the wealthy take as much advantage of them as the poor—-when you need them? Pay your damn taxes, one-percenters. The rest of us do.

This clown is as bad as Trump and Qanon with platitudes, assumptions and no facts The winterization standard as authored by the NERC for the so called “national grid” following an investigation into 2011 winter storms is NOT mandatory. The winterization of our power plants would have prevented this - but since that standard at the federal level isn’t mandatory per the NERC, the notion that it would have been different is just false. https://www.nerc.net/standardsreports/standardssummary.aspx Texas isn’t the only place to use an ISO - the “privatization” you are citing. Which by the way California has one, as does the Midwest and the Northeast. And “deregulation” has zero to do with safety or emissions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deregulation_of_the_Texas_electricity_market?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_transmission_organization_(North_America)?wprov=sfti1

According to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, “The ability of some companies that generate the power has been frozen.” The strain on Texas’ energy system has risen even higher, with Texans using more energy to heat their homes than ever. ERCOT reported that the state reached record winter power consumption on Sunday evening.
Luckily, 20 hours ago, Greg Abbott tweeted some much-needed good news about the snow crisis in Texas. “UPDATE: 400,000 more homes had power restored this morning. Expect more during the day,” he tweeted.

Like full on angry rants about how stupid and incompetent we are because we don't have snow plows at the ready for the snow that hardly ever happens.)
Myrtle Yoma 4 years ago
It’s funny because Texas bureaucrats did this to themselves. Had they not privatized their power grid, they would have had to keep up with US regulations of winterizing power plants (despite the areas usual climate) thus greatly reducing the impact once in a century storms will have on its citizens. I get that they don’t have plows or snow shovels, but so many people wouldn’t be freezing in the homes they’re being asked to stay in if the power grid was connected to the rest of the US and therefore equipped to handle things like this.

What I think is wrong with these jokes is that none of us are going to work anyways because of the pandemic. We are all working at home, and when our power goes out, so does the internet. The kids can't go to school because of the constant power outages tearing at our connection. If we connect to cellular, it's so backed up nothing goes through anyways. so it was all canceled due to power outages. This is not something we can just shovel out of the way.

Wish we would have invested in more wind turbines... and that more people wear masks. Masks keep your face warmer.

My nephew and his wife live in Austin with their newborn son. Once some generation came back online, power was routed to major downtown areas to light them up for the cameras and news feeds to make the politicians appear responsive. No one could get to work in city offices anyway because Texas doesn’t have armies of snow plows, and ever since the pandemic, most professionals work from home/anywhere. And major business areas already have their own backup generating capacity. You get what you vote for. Their home is still without power for fours days now.

this is why the pity party saying this isn't a joke sounds dumb. you get what you vote for, is there any other state suffering this badly from a few inches of snow? I'm genuinely asking

As of yesterday morning, 73% of the continental United States is covered with snow. This, my conspiracy theorist friends who have been telling me that the government under Biden is controlling the weather, is evidence of climate change.

Why has what amounts to a natural disaster to this area been turned into a joke? Just because Texas is a red state? (Although Austin is very blue, so the whole “you get what you vote for comment” for the Austin area was interesting). Let’s have post making fun of Louisiana for Hurricane Katrina then.

Because Texans are mostly right-wing anarchists while BP is mostly left-wing nutjobs. Same (although reversed, of course) as reading the comments on fox news when anything mentioning DC, regulation of any kind or California comes up. They can't act like adults anymore than a room full of unsupervised kindergartners can leave a candy bar alone. And every single one of them on both sides will blame it all on everyone else. And every single one of them is to blame for our real issues. If people would instill a sense of respect for others in their children, every one of our problems could be fairly easily solved.

Guys there are people freezing to death in TX right now. They had to call in trucks to haul out the dead bodies. Apartment complexes are catching on fire because people are desperate. Their homes are made for the heat, not the snow, their insulation is a joke. People are burning anything they can to try to get warm enough to survive, and some of what they're burning is poisoning them. I don't care about the politics I care about the people. Most cities in TX don't have salt trucks for roads, they don't have the road salt and what little they might have isn't enough. Their pipes are bursting across the state and the waters toxic because the water treatment plant are frozen. I don't care about the politics, karam, or otherwise, no one deserves what's happening to TX right now.

We are one of the lucky ones who still have power, but we haven't had water for 3 days now. The grocery stores are either closed due to having no power or they are empty because people have been panic buying. We as a state are REALLY not prepared for this kind of thing.

I've lived without water and electricity and it isn't funny. Panic buying should be prevented somehow before it starts - restrictions on the numbers of each item people can buy (based on number per household so it is equitable). You always see some poor elderly person staring at empty shelves in scenarios like this and that's heart-breaking. Feeling for you Texas!

This thread is absolutely disgusting. Freak, uncharacteristic weather anywhere does harm. You think West Texas was laughing at California when the state was burning because they couldn't handle some dry weather? This mess isn't caused by 1" of snow. It's caused by ice storms that would shut down Boston or Buffalo. This is like Seattle lauging at Iowa because they can't handle 30 inches of rain in one season. Or Lubbock laughing at California because they only got 2 inches of rain in March and the whole state burned down.

To all you right-wingers wanting to pwn liberal snowflakes - you just got pwned by a bunch of snowflakes. I know it's not funny for those without power, but in dark times like this we all need a larf.

Texan here (name is obviously a joke) with a tornado shelter, tasty animals in the pasture and barns, packing on my hip and shotgun seat (named so for a reason, if you look at American history lol) for predators of the animal and human kind, and prepared for droughts. Thankful solar panels do the water pumping for me, so family and animals have made it through this. Rural or not, Texans pride themselves on being bootstrap folks. Preparing on a state level for something like this should appeal to us. We spend so much time and money preparing for a storm that will likely never come (ex: fancy firearms) but can't be bothered to prep for a storm that WILL come eventually? This was a wake up call to me to look at what else I'm missing and I feel for those who didn't have means (or Yankee friends in my case) to help prepare. We can all learn from each other.

Next the vortex moves a bit east, ushering in warm moisture laden air from the Gulf. Rain on top of rapidly melting snow and ice. Even though as a CA native, I have done a lot of grin and bear it about comments from certain states, this is probably what Hawaii would be like if they got a polar vortex. The big test now is what will TX do with this lesson?
