>Not having your own snow blower.

I have one.

I can’t get to it. The snow in front of the shed I keep it in is too high.

Irony?

I lost power in an ice storm. Feels bad to not have below-ground wires.

They are pretty neat.
We had late snow yesterday, making the drive to my parents an adventure. The roads were slippery like soap. Having all wheel drive is pretty cool, though. You get to drive corners almost normally and see idiots behind you spin out.

Those riggers at Reliant turned my power off at 2 am and it didn't come back until almost 6. Apparently nobody in Texas knows who's in charge of what and electricity just kind of happens. Idiocracy is now.

Hehe, Reliant being unreliable, huh?

>get rid of that fossil fuel energy, goy! replace it all with wind turbines!

Meanwhile...

Fuck, ice rain. I was planning to go to the store in an hour. That'll be a fun ride, I guess.

As usual, Texas joining California as being a national embarrassment and completely failing.
Fucking Estonia manages to keep the lights on but two of our wealthiest states turn into Haiti if it gets too hot or too cold.

Well, you build paper mache houses in hurricane areas. Is Texas not bring me able to deal with snow that surprising?
