Yep, it suddenly dipped into the low 20s here already after being fairly balmy all day.

We're used to it.

6 inches isn't much at all. Shouldn't have much impact if it does there is something very wrong.

 

[Manonthestreet]

It was Snowing in the city by the Gulf, a hard snow........

 

[initforme]

What's a hard snow? Ohhhh no a little snow. Talk about fake news.

Correct. Although the proper term is Climate Change.

Point me at the guy who decides these things!

OK. I have now assessed the situation. I think there are a few things people in the south and Midwest/south need to take into consideration. This could be happening from here on out every year. The first time I encountered it was maybe 10 years ago in Chicagoland. Then it repeated. But, we had a couple of things that I am not seeing where I'm at now. First of all we already had our gear hats, gloves etc. snow blowers and bags of salt that had been purchased in September when they were on sale.

When it snows the trucks are already on the road. They have salt and, now, beet juice. Ya need massive trucks on the roads. They are clearing the city streets AND the Interstates AND the county roads. Not the pick up trucks with the shovel on the front. Those guys come to shovel off the drive way, parking lot and what have you. I mention that because there is a town that actually had that on the city streets. The city I live in apparently doesn't do anything on my street so that might have been alright. Also, the water pipes were wrapped under the house so they didn't freeze and burst.

If we are going to do this shit there is a better way.

I agree..it's a mindset more than it is anything else.
Of course, it all comes down to money..and Oklahoma and Texas are not going to spend like that..unless this keeps happening.
Individuals can make their lives much easier though. Wrap those pipes, have a Genny, spend on insulation--keep a food stash...a week minimum--same with prescription meds.

In extremis, you can cordon off a room with blankets...and create a warm zone.

No..you don't need that 6 cases of TP...LOL~

They’re called climatologists. If you don’t know what that is, they’re scientists.
