Why does the nation believe we humans can control mother nature?... Stop the hypocrisy of climate change and the cost it will bring to all people.

Praying for Texas🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗💗

Y'all need some NYer's to show ya how to drive in this?

Hell froze over after 2nd acquittal

Gotta love it.

Fake news. MSM really reaching now. It doesn't snow in Texas, only a child would fall for these tricks.

We’re not set up for ice. No salt on the roads. No chains on tires. Just like up North y’all aren’t ready for Hurricanes and monstrous floods. Plus half the city of Houston is illegal aliens with no drivers licenses or insurance. Not joking.

It’s called salt and a shovel

Word to the wise from this NYer. It doesn't matter if you have 4WD, on ice you are just spinning 4 wheels instead of 2. Stay home, stay safe

Laughs in East Coast

Don’t call Cruz he’s reading green eggs and ham. Useless anyway!

You confederates can’t handle a little snowstorm?

Maybe the yokels laughing at the fires here in California should have had more shovels on hand. Maybe they'll pay attention to the climate now? No Diesel will belch from their Faarquaddian 'compensating'

Any moment now Ted Cruz will be talkin about climate change

karma

dvmmum Get ready for comments from people who do not understand Global Warming questioning Global Warming

God is punishing Texas cuz of Ted Cruz’s lying & supporting Trump’s evil acts. Texans will have to suffer as God seeks his revenge

looks like god is trying to tell texans something. I wonder what it could be...

Pour it on em.

Now this sounds like a legit reason to be lockdown because of unsafe conditions.

Since TexasGOP succeeded from the Union, and they were vehemently against foreign aid, I’m afraid it’s not the US federal governments problem, is it GovAbbott?

When do we start talking about global cooling and another ice age?

It’s a shame most of them deny climate change is real. Good luck!

I'm froze 2 death🥶

Suck it up Buttercups... it's called WINTER!!

I’m sure Ted Cruz will help!

Climate change people

Fuck em. -20 here

Sending prayers that everybody stays warm and safe 🙏🏻

This should tell you all you need to know about Texans driving on ice.

This is Brentwood, TN, tonight, Sunday, February 14, 2021. I have never seen this, here. IceStormWarning

Do they open churches for the homeless, this isn’t usual.

Be smart. Stay home.

Maybe they’ll stay in a few days and not spread Covid-19

I’m a non-native Texan at present and it’s true, the roads are a disaster. Have been staying off them as is common sense. ❄️🥶

What a bunch of wimps! It’s been -30–40 for last 2 weeks where I live LOL.

Guess they pissed off some deity

Doesn't snow there very often so they're all going to have to learn how to drive all over again!

We been getting a lot of rain out here in Frisco

Spend those tax dollars to protect life and property by paying for road treatment like salt.

Ain't rocket science, Chains & 4 wheel drives, otherwise STF at home so ya don't endanger those who DO know how to drive in adverse weather

“There’s no such thing as ‘Global Warning’”!

It’ll keep moving east...

PSA If you’re in Texas or the Plains states or the Gulf states or anyplace hit by this storm and you lose power... Running gas-powered portable generators indoors or in a garage with the door up or any enclosed space can kill you quickly via carbon monoxide in the exhaust.

Oh-oh people who don't know how to drive in snow

Try southeast Nebraska, another 5 inches of snow and -21 actual air temperatures...oh yes and we’ve been told to turn down the thermostat and turn off lights.

Do they even have snow plows in Texas?

2 Reasons to Stay Home. Ice & COVID-19

People up north don't realize that the housing, the trees, the electrical grid etc. down here make it much worse, even before you consider the throngs of homeless people who escape the north by trying to survive down here through winter.

Huh. Sounds like the climate is changing. Or is it a cycle?

Sounds like global warming to me, or whatever the globalist are calling it these days.

Already know they’re doomed since they still die from Tornados in 2021 lmao

I'm not from Texas, but those folks are pretty resilient. They will get through this. Road rage may result in shots fired from slightly cracked car windows though! :)

GlobalWarming

They dont have salt trucks or snow tires. Ship them kitty litter for the ice

Jealous tbh

Hey Texas, welcome to everyday life during the winter, in Michigan.

Kisses...Enjoy.

We Okies have some experience driving on this shit unlike our beloved neighbors to the south

😳 Unlike a previous “SnowMan “ who held coronavirus aid to Dem states hostage for homage... Gov. Abbot (R) to President Biden:

I would rather drive in Chicago in a snow storm than in Texas and other places where it only snows occasionally. Chicago drivers learn best practices in driving on snow and ice.

Even in the north we know not to drive if it's icy unless there's a good reason. Take your time, don't panic if you begin to slide.

Stay safe!

Such a poorly run red state

amatevos Said while pointing to 2 inches of snow 🌨️

Valt nl best mee toch😊

Maybe they can shoot the blizzard 🤷‍♂️

🙏🙏🙏for all to be safe

Kansas here. Welcome to my life for the past week.

In Toronto, we just call that a Tuesday.

Oh you know that's tough on them! I bet nobody can drive in it.

Joe doing nothing about climate change, no wonder 😲

RIP Texans. They don't know how to drive on snow or ice.

I'm in it. Love you ap happy v day baby.

Wintry weather blanketing US making rare dip to Gulf CoastSnow and ice blanketed large swaths of the U.S. on Sunday, prompting canceled flights, making driving perilous and reaching into areas as far south as Texas’ Gulf Coast, where snow and sleet were expected overnight. 'Typically, we just don’t have quite this much cold air in place that far south,” said Marc Chenard, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center. The storm has prompted officials in Houston, where temperatures were in the 70s (20s Celsius) earlier this week, to advise residents to prepare for power outages and hazardous roads that could be similar to those experienced in the wake of a Category 5 hurricane.

Iranian vessels swarmed and harassed US Coast Guard ships for hours in the Persian GulfThe US Navy says that four Iranian Iranian vessels harassed two US Coast Guard cutters in international waters in the Persian Gulf earlier this month. As long as they can get away with this behavior it will continue and get worse, Russia has been getting away with this behavior for years. But... why is our coast guard operating in the Persian gulf? Why is the US coast guard in the persian Gulf tho? Kinda strange to be guarding Iran’s coast no?

Flight instructor, student pilot rescued by US Coast Guard after ditching plane off coast of HawaiiA flight instructor and a student pilot were rescued by a U.S. Coast Guard crew Saturday night after their plane experienced engine trouble, forcing them to ditch the aircraft in the ocean off the coast of Hawaii, officials said. Nice horrible Ya single engine over water is never the best idea... but in Hawaii, I guess you don’t really have a choice. I never even liked flying single engine turbines over water. I like two motors out there.
