Here in TX they just shut the whole state down till it melts. Such a joke.

why is that a joke? it so infrequently snows there it'd be a joke and a waste of money for every municipality to spend tons of money on snow removal equipment

The state has a 20 Billion dollar surplus. The revenue that along is lost would more than make up for some plows and sanding equipment. But this state uses the excuse, well it doesn’t happen here enough. Just like we won’t build any new power plants, but we keep expanding and build more and more. Good luck this summer. My Generac is set to go. I’ll lose power for a whole 30 seconds till that diesel fires over. Not staying in this state, Vermont will be my home in the next 5 years.

I guess you don’t like to have your lights stay on. You just sit back and enjoy that afternoon sun the summer when your AC has no power, lol
