Make sure you folks got a shovel, some salt, drive UNDER the speed limit in adverse weather conditions.. ain’t no shame going 25-35 in 65mph zone.. Stay safe.
I'm not one to reach out to my community in this manner normally but, starting at 3pm Sunday, through all day Monday and into Tuesday afternoon, DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE - ANYWHERE - every street will be iced over and you will have absolutely no control over your vehicle. Stay home, stay safe.

I'm 65 and iv'e lived in Minnesota all my life. This is a typical forecast for Thanksgiving week, although temps have been above average untill about a week ago. Today Valentine's Day it is -20F an 10mph wind. That is normal here for this time of year. NOTE: unless you can walk a mile without danger of hypothermia you are not dressed warm enough. Body heat will suddenly drop off. I learned this during a time when I walked to work. Dress in layers so you can adjust the insulation you're wearing as temps change and your body or vehicle warms. Unfortunately many of you Texans do not have the proper clothing on hand. Unless you have experienced sub-zero temps and wind it may be best to stay home or find a weather experienced neighbor who could assist you with errands. Simply put a lot of you need a cold weather guide on your Minnesota Safari.
Keep your pets indoors! Check on elderly neighbors! Open warming centers for homeless. Prep shelters scour there be power outages! Those who can, get a generator, but run it outdoors or you will die.
Before it hits do the shopping for winter gear and food if you can. Many of us northern people are telling you all because many of us are sitting -25 degrees that it is like you 30 degrees. We have the experience, get blankets, water, a prep kit if possible. Otherwise, team up with someone else, or if you have everything stay home, warm, and safe. Prayers for Texas that she can weather this storm coming your way. Blessings
Just avoid driving on it, stock up on food items, don't use gas heaters or things that produce carbon monoxide in or near your house. Drip hot and cold water in faucets! Keep flash lights and extra blankets. Bring in pets and plants too! Stay safe
@@jaredpatterson1701 thanks for the tips! Planning on staying home 🏡 seen snow twice in my life here, people went out and about and there were so many wrecks! 😳 never been in a single digit temperature! Bracing for the cold 🥶
@@jeaniemarczniec7755 thanks! Did grocery shopping today, the store was a zoo! We normally only prep for Hurricanes🌀 we have water, flashlights, food, just no winter gear 🤷♀️ I wouldn't even know where to start.. Hopefully hoodies and beanies will work 😬
Put your tents up inside house or apartment so when electric goes out you can actualy heat with candles,, and everyone snuggle. Too cold for children in house.
Hey... get the word out about BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES!!! Bridges and overpasses freeze faster, so when the rest of the roads are still at rain Temps bridges can be frozen over without warning... (from St Louis area... that freezing rain is no joke)
@@Dwayneff yo I heard that they were warning us not to do that cuz it would drop water pressure a lot which come with its cons. But then I'm like we'll what am I supposed to then? What do you think 🤔
@@josuepereira3673 a slow drip will not cause that great if a pressure drop. It's too bad that Houston has an antiquated infrastructure. The infrastructure in NY is older than Houston and it's rare that water pressure drops in any significant form. Everything will be fine. We're more liable to have black outs from people trying to keep their homes at 70*. But again, most homes have a gas fireplace so there's still a way to keep warm.
i live in corpus and during the last days everything was closed - I got so hungry ,,,, I started checking the rat traps throughout the house ---- maybe I can scrape a little meat and make some gumbo --- in the mean while i will roll up a fat joint and hope that the weather lets up
Another warning from a Midwesterner... Stay away from sagging powerlines and trees... Expect power outages as power lines get too heavy with ice and snap... trees also become a danger as ice weighted branches will come crashing down
Aw man today I was supposed to go to main event for a birthday party it’s like at 10:00 am to 1:00 pm so? Would it be safe if I went there I live in Houston texas
@@jaredpatterson1701 That's not what global warming means. Global warming means an increase in the average global temperature, which throws weather systems out of whack leading to more extreme weather scenarios like extremely cold winters in some parts of the world. The global weather system is extremely sensitive to change, and the human impacts on it (the explosion of emissions starting in the 20th century) is what is throwing it out of whack. It's an escalating situation, we've already been facing negative repercussions of it but this will become more and more severe as time goes on.
With enough ice accumulated powerlines will snap (I live just south of St Louis and that's an issue we often face) also stay away from trees as tree limbs will come crashing down
texas aint prepped for this. homes arent constructed for this. new houses are built cheaply with outside waterheaters, cheap windows, minimal insulation in 2by4 walls with vinyl cladding... not 4" of brick.

Excellent reporting in Houston. This Meteorologist should be on prime time.

*claps*
Naw, just because the infrastructure isn't set up for snow, so we just make mountains out of a couple inches of snow
MAKE SURE YOUR GAS TANK IS FULL👈🏾
@fiery but mostly peaceful Safety first.
Yes please make sure your gas tanks are full because Armageddon is here. There’s no where to run
@fiery but mostly peaceful you gotta find a new job. Not worth ya life.
@Bad Gyal VeVe when it gets this cold if your tank is empty or less than half it can freeze your lines. So make sure it’s at least over half.

You guys are acting like the worlds about to end we get this every year in Rochester NY
You saw what happened a few days ago in Ft. Worth Texas. These folks are totally not used to driving in / dealing with this kind of weather event!
drip the water tonight.. pencil lead thin stream.. ground stays warmer longer than the air.. however pipes in and under the the house freeze first.
R.I.P Houston
Nooo 😂
Yeah we dont have much winter clothes
We'll be back in time for a major hurricane or flood by summer!
it's not the first time...
Happy Valentines day to you and your family
But this is why we live in Houston to avoid this ☹ I am inexperienced when it comes to cold freezing ice snow 🥶

Except we will keep seeing weather like this because we are melting the arctic at break neck speeds cause the jet stream to get all screwed up.
That is bullshit.
The reason of the breakdown in the jetstream is the low solar activity.
So much for Global Warming. Glad I have a ton of blankets, candles and butane little stove..
