Millions in Texas lose power as winter storm drops temps to -22C

PLEASE FIND A WAY TO SHARE THESE TIPS PLEASE.... REPORTERS: Watching cold, snow, sleet and ice weather move South in the USA. Poor folks are NOT used to this and it can be numbing. Here are a few tips from an Idaho/Montana gal. Add some if you feel, but share for certain because eventually someone will see this who needs to: 1. Layer up. Leggings, pants, skirts (more skirts = more insulation); Loose is better than tight. 2. Create a 'warm area' in your home and close off all other rooms. Keep space heaters pointing under sinks in bath and kitchen. 3. Keep shovel (snow or otherwise) in the house so you can shovel OUT. You can accomplish a lot outside if you do it in short spurts and seek warm room inside til warm enough to tackle again. 4. Make HUGE pot of warm soup/stew/pot o' beans, whatever - but you will do well to have warm food instantly available. 5. Don't leave the house and drive. Just don't. Make your neighbors your concern for a few days during the emergency cold. 6. You can pitch a tent in your living room and make it fun - and the tent will be warmer will all the bodies and pet bodies in there. If the power goes out, you'll still survive. 7. If you go outside in footwear that is not grippy, take and Wrap cord or twine or thin rope around so it will catch in the ice and snow. Still, walk like a penguin.

You just need the proper apparel.

Hello there Albertan. It’s been green most of the winter here in southern Ontario with the exception of the last week. Winter has decided to make an appearance in mid February here.

Isn't texas supposed to be near the equator, so your temperatures should be tropical and borderline desert temperatures, added with the fact that most of the land in your state is comprised of deserts and dry, arid land. It comes as a shock that you would experience snow and in that amount

[@kyleterry5190]

@Umbrella Corporation I guess I should also begin stocking up on winter gear, I'm from the philippines in a coastal town, and ever since last year the days have been cold,even in summer. Although these days it's understandable that it would be cold as the snow and ice from the northern countries are just beginning to melt but it's still cold even during high noon. (I fear by next year we might have a similar situation) Global warming does not exist, but climate change does

[@donk1822]

If you spend over 20% of the time you use your car clearing the snow and ice off it, it is hardly useful is it? Only a moron comments on a post without reading what was said. North Sea windfarms are offline over 20% of the time, and they are considered to be as efficient as any in the world. I know, because I worked for a company that maintained them. As I said, Thorium reactors are the straightforward and practical solution, to providing our needs. Wind farms are not 'green' in any sense of the word, and neither will they solve our problems. I do have an IQ of 148, but I wouldn't describe myself as a genius, unless standing next to you.
