Texas coldfronts

So about last February it snowed and people died from the cold and lost power it’s about that time again February supposed to be super cold what do my other BYC Texans think is gonna happen I think it may snow again ughh nothing is worse than feeding cows in the freezing cold but it must be done!

I for one have a much more complete "shelter in place" kit to cope with loss of power/heat/gas/water for an extended period of time. I hardly have room to store it in my average suburban home and can't imagine how anyone living in the city could possibly prepare for an event like we saw last year. It's unlikely we'll see it again (lasting that long, anyway) for some time, but nothing was fixed, so you can't chance it. How is it that today in America we have people freezing to death in their beds because of one week of sub-freezing temps? Then we don't even learn from it?
Ok, off my soapbox, I think it will definitely snow this week but hopefully it's 2 days max before we thaw out! The cold has already affected all my solar/battery setups in the coop (door/cameras).

Yes I couldn’t believe them they were even going to charge us extra!? they really were gonna try to this literally never used to happen Texas is so strange now we used to be famous for being soooo steaming hot not that I’m complaining that we get snow now it’s pretty neat but the losses that happen because we aren’t prepared are not neat
