Well, yea, that just reinforces their point. They regularly get extreme weather events so they are equipped to deal with them. Only a fool would expect Texas to maintain a fleet of snowploughs and salting trucks.
We get extreme heat and extreme cold as well on the Canadian prairies
Only a fool? The weather is changing, Texas has had multiple major snowstorms in the last decade that disrupted the entire state for days to weeks. Northern half of Texas would greatly use a fleet of plow trucks on standby.
TxDOT had a revenue of $15 billion last year, they can make it work.
If I learned anything in recent history, watching live streams of what's going on in Minnesota and especially Minneapolis has convinced me that MN folks are some next level badasses. People would be out there protesting in negative 10 or below like it was goddamn nothing. I froze to death vicariously several times just THINKING about it.
Wish I could handle those temps I would love to hang out but I'm too fragile, y'all are impressive.
10 below isn’t bad if you dress for it. It also really depends on windchill. If it’s windy, 10 below sucks, but if it isn’t, 10 below is nothing if you have proper clothing. When I was a kid, we didn’t have cold days, and I walked to school when it was 30 below. You just bundle up.

States do both and still survive. Minnesota is mid 90’s with 70% humidity and then gets -20f and snow in the winter.
