This is the kind of weather where if you don't have to leave the house don't for your safety.
And others
@AuntyLisa Exactly! People are so self-centered! I'd never forgive myself if I caused another driver or passenger pain and suffering when we all could've just stayed home and avoided it.
You’ll be fired where I live.
@@Nuttyirishman85 then I wouldn't have that job...smh
Some schools waited to close until the freezing rain started, and lots of people had to go to work because roads were okay in the morning, but were TERRIBLE to go home. It was awful.
If you slip on the ice walking to car,think what your car is going to do??
They always do it bigger, hotter, colder and slipperier in Texas
Seriously! The only thing we can't get is more snow! Except for that one time. That was... That was too much snow.
Having just came back from a weekend road trip and my tip is the best way to avoid collisions like this is to stay where you are, wait, and then continue when conditions clear up.
I survived the last blizzard at -65 degrees. Was caught up in South Dakota and rescued to a nearest hotel. Stayed there for 4 days till highways were open
Always carry extra cookies with you. Worst thing is getting the munchies
That's shorts weather for SD.
@@goodplenty5510 I had plenty of noodle soup cups. They really warmed me up
I'm so sorry. I froze a week ago only for a nite & then a month or so ago for 3 days. Then I got more heaters, electric blanket & realized I could turn up the heaters because they were on separate circuts by themselves each The Propane was off I had no idea it was all done in rv trailers through a computer little box & I wasn't watching the weather. It's never dropped that low ever since I lived here in WA. So I'm nervous when it drops another 2 days when they just said & we had 2 days. So having to adjust the heaters till the temp. outside stops dropping keeps me up all nite & worried. I do also have a generator & the landlord will know & run over to turn on. It's all set up outside with a cover over it and fuel jug as well. On a farm. I forgot I had the generator glad I remembered it. I feel better now. Ok good nite & thanks for being out there. Peace & warm nite for all.
@@pendolangu1000 At a hotel so you already left your house. I'm never leaving the Wolf's Lair.
Is he still in Texas or already fled to Cancun again?
Wow, that's terrible
Glad I'm in Ga
I will pray for elderly and small children and animals who may not survive the freezing temperatures.
Glad to hear
Woo gods gunna save em after subjecting them to torture, what a swollen asshat
Amen.
You should actually do something and donate blankets and food instead

-20 here in WI. this morning. Winter is Brutal up here :(
That is brutal. I don't mind the snow; I can't handle the cold anymore as I get older.
-7 here, icy so many "idiot younger people " (I'm 59) STILL glued to their damned phones!
VERY MUCH ICY....BE SAFE....KEEP BLANKET'S, SNACK'S, WATER BESIDE YOU
Beet juice on its own would be a good non-corrosive alternative to salt. What they left out for some reason is, what they're spraying onto the road is a MIXTURE of only 20% Beet juice and 80% Salt brine💀thats just liquified salt
Prayers
i hope that 370z is okay 😢
So scary. Poor TX. Prayers 🙏🏻
I pray your prayers arent answered, i just prayed for it.
Vehicles don't lose control; drivers do.
Romans 1:18-32
I wonder how Tesla's autopilot would handle this weather and traffic?
Okay, us Texans do not handle snow & ice well. We close everything, drive into each other and empty the grocery stores. This is just not our usual climate. We do have the unique ability to sit in a 120 degree car WITH leather seats. IN shorts.
If your representatives cared they would winterize the grid system. Instead they just let you eat cake while they run off to Cancun. Feel bad for ya
@@tn_mateo5974 Hey. We hadn't had weather like the blizzard of '21 since decades before we even had a grid system, and we probably won't again for another hundred years. Honestly, if they want to go to Cancun in the midst of it when it's impossible to do anything about it anyway, I don't care. Just get on it first thing when you get back. If they'd spent the budget to winterize the grid system before the blizzard, people would have complained they were wasting taxpayers' money on pointless things. Hindsight is 20/20, but foresight is blurry at best.
@@tn_mateo5974 You are singing to the choir. Texas is not going to change. It is all about money, not the people.
San Antonio expecting ice
Jesus loves you all and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved!
Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him!
Have an amazing day ❤️❤
Amen
Amen
He's the same as an absentee dad. Smh
@@Former_Pastor Jesus is very present it's just some Folks will look at all the fake Christians and turn away from him. Jesus loves everyone and if they have any hatred whatsoever they don't have Jesus in them.
I love watching this from Florida
Oh yeah, how's that Meth treating you? ;D
Beet juice?!
Never heard of that being an alternative to salt.
When has that been the case?
Dwight from The Office has been speaking on Beet Juice for years lol
ua-cam.com/video/O94ssmroP7k/v-deo.html
I would think vodka would make more sense, but now I'm going to have to Google the freezing point for both.
ETA Vodka goes to -16F, but beet juice seems to be the winner at -20F.
Yes, beet juice on its own would be a good non-corrosive alternative. What they left out for some reason is what they're spraying onto the road is a MIXTURE of only 20% Beet juice and 80% Salt brine, which is a liquid salt that has been arguably more corrosive than the typical rock salt.
LIKE NEVER⚡⚡⚡
Just grateful I can work from home. Best to not be out in this especially with others driving like clowns.
I dont understand how my job is still open, like I feel bad for calling in because we are short staffed, plus we get "points" for calling in.
Stay safe and warm everyone! God bless you! Please make sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour everyone! He is coming soon! Don't be left behind! Please accept and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour! John 3:16, Revelation 20:15, 1 Corrinthians 15 1-4, Romans 10 9-10
No thanks.... I'm not into toxic relationships with mythical people
Them kids boutta have school till august to make up for the snow days 😂😂😂
The problem with driving safely is that there is always one person who gets impatient and annoyed with them for doing so. That person then rages, does something incredibly dumb, and hits another car anyway.
True
Safe drivers need to stay off the road and stay home. you can go 50 on the freeways but "safe" people that have no business being out are driving 30. Texans can't drive in the snow. Fake cowboys need to keep their country butts inside. I'm from Los angeles and drive in the ice better than most of the clowns from DFW
I live in the Adirondacks. We literally just drive on the snowy icy roads. We have huge logging trucks that make the trek everyday. These people just simply don’t know how to drive in the snow and you drop sand on the road in between salt. Also if you are someone who lives there, then pack your car with warm clothes, socks, hats and blankets…. And water and food! You can put the water between your thighs to make it melt. And cat litter is what you put under your tires to get the tires to grip!
Thundersleet? That's a new one
Texas needs to do a better job 😤
Stay safe.
Hope you all stay warm and safe have a great Tuesday
Must be winter...
It's not so bad considering what we facing every winter here in Wisconsin
I hate when people make ignorant comments like this.
I used to think that, having grown up in a northern state that had a solid 4 seasons. Then i moved around a bit. Lived in warmer places. Lived in colder places. Now I live in Texas.
Here, my hot water heater is outside my house in an attached, unheated shed. I haven't seen any sand on roads in my city, and I'm honestly not sure that we have any salt or sanding trucks. Infrastructure is just different. It's not better or worse. This is extreme weather. When I had family in Seattle worried about a summer heatwave, putting them at 100+ high temps for over a week, I didn't roll my eyes and throw out a condescending comment comparing it to our summers. Normal weather is relative. Extreme weather is relative. Infrastructure capabilities are relative. Comparison is a lazy way to interact with the world.
And when you're complaining about how hot it is in the summer, Texas will be down there broiling like "...Sorry, did you say something?"
The weather seems quite cold in a few weeks ago. My Country is also cold and -6 degrees at some provinces.
God damn. Making illinois winters look tame.
Yup let's go on the ICY roads without winter tires, oh and let's use beet juice instead of salt or sand. Canadians shaking their damn heads
damned heads....Romans 1:18-32
This is why I can endure the 110 heat in the summer of Vegas.
thundersleet ... ?
Been there done that several years in Indiana. Prepare for it and adapt. Not that big a deal if you got any common sense.
common sense tells you to stay home...I am
In Indiana, this is normal. Believe me. I'm from Texas, but I went to college in Evansville. You Hoosiers break out the shorts at 60 degrees. You can sit in the shade in August and it's actually cooler than sitting in the sun. You can reasonably expect several days of snow up there. That's not the case in Texas. No one is going to put extra time or effort into preparing for a bizarre weather event that will last four days max. We're perfectly happy to just stay home.
Good to be in Tampa!!
Its definitely the drivers and not the weather in 90% of the clips in this video...almost all of them were speeding.
1:30 - "barely miss" = nope. Look at the quarter panel on the white car after.
It's 75 degrees now in South Florida.
Just stay home Damn
Just stay home!
duh
Are there still people coming over the border.🥶
I have no problem driving on icy road. I have one hand on my cellphone, the other on my coffee and I steer with my left foot. I was on America Got Talent
Beet juice is actually very acidic and beyond corrosive, it plays havoc on a vehicles electrical system. They have been using it in Canada for several years now and it costs more money every year to maintain your vehicle. I can’t wait to see what happens to the electric and the aluminum vehicles a few years down the road because of it. 😂
I'm inside made a pot of chicken and saug gumbo
best comment...A+
Winter is just depressing
Aw.
-50°?!? This can't be real
Dangerous Weather!!God please be with those Traveling near and far away!!!In Jesus Name,🙏🏽💜AMEN
Beet juice 😂 what the hell is that?
We had the same thing on the west coast for xmas.
Stronger "Driver Restrictions", Ban "assault tires", mass Vehicle's accidents have to end!!!
How did the ambulance make it?
Lessen your tire air pressure and it'll help with more traction especially in snow, but you can't do it at high speeds; I hope you know.
I don't remember news reports used to use gerund phrases so much in the reports. It makes the description of the action seem a little bit on the passive side, as well as occasionally not being a full complete sentence.
For example: "the car crashed into the retaining wall."
Or, "the car, crashing into the retaining wall." That was the end of the statement.
This has been talked about for several days. Plenty of time to plan.
But I guess some things can’t be rescheduled.
This is the thing... When the weatherman predicts we will get winter weather, it almost NEVER happens. Our worst winter storms have always come up suddenly and unexpectedly. That's why most schools and school districts don't bother cancelling until morning of.
@@IzzyKawaiichi even if forecasting is imperfect, one can still plan for the possibility. And this storm was definitely predicted.
@@albeit1 What I'm saying is, WHEN THEY PREDICT IT, it almost never happens. Like, if the weatherman says "there's a 90 percent chance of ice on Thursday ~according to the computers~" what goes through our heads is "well, according to history, there's a 2 percent chance the computers are actually right, which means it's probably not happening." Also, there's no "planning for the possibility," because what happens is that if you call it early and say "Hey, everyone! It's supposed to snow tomorrow! We're preemptively cancelling school!" then there will be nothing. I've seen it happen. More than once. A snow day with absolutely nothing on the ground. That's why schools usually wait until day of to cancel around 5, 6 in the morning so they have time to get the word out, but if the precipitation doesn't actually begin until 7, 8, 9, or later, then students may already be in school, and it becomes a huge hassle to get everybody in the district out and back home.
That is why I moved to south western Arizona, we don’t get snow or ice
Just amazing when it's freezing rain and ppl still think their 2 wheel drive car can make it. New flash no tires or car can drive on ice 😂
A This Stage --
Whether you do,
or whether you don't...
the weather is getting worse !
.
Ohh i see
@ 1:28... breathtaking...life is still good, not your day today be careful you guys...
There should be a 25,000 fine for talking your vehicle out in Hazard conditions. In return a speed limit of 20mph highway and city. Also free parking included on city streets and parking lots.
Feels like 1 here, Ontario,Canada. Georgian bay area...Lake Huron
It's exciting !
Because the best thing to do in a winter storm is go out and try to travel in it.
rip
Jesus loves you!
Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him! Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved!
Have an amazing day ❤️❤
@@Gg-ij7li L, Jesus fell off
@@Go-Go-Guts lol
I can drive in snow but keep home when it's black ice! I won't dare drive on it again.
And we still driving knowing the road conditions
Americans let's all pray the same prayer: Dear Lord; Please help the Texas are folks who are under such cold conditions to stay warm & safe with the power grid holding for ALL of the folks there. Amen. God's love. 🙏
where is Cancun Cruz ?
I did a 360° on a iced bridge in Dallas probably 30 years ago on the way to NOLA for Mardi Gras. I was in the fast lane, the other lanes were stopped at the bridge and there were several cars on the side of the road that banged into someone/thing. As I was turning into slide after away from the slide wasn't working, I decided to go full circle and I see all the headlights pointing at me when I was at 180°. All I was thinking about was how I didn't take the collision insurance on that Lexus rental car. When I got to the other side undamaged the people standing aound their banged cars all started clapping as I drove off down I-10.
@🦋JahGirl 🦋 Nah, wasn't the first 360° I've done in my life. Never been in a highway collisions. I drive defensively. It's served me well for over half a century. And I'm a leadfoot.
@@punapeter
🤣🤣
Back in 2020,
During my morning commute on I-75 freeway, I witnessed an SUV (that I was coming up on) doing Uncontrolled *REVERSE 360's*
(On the freeway).
Somehow this guy musta put his transmission in REVERSE because "i saw" him do at least FIVE Reverse 360s as I slowly slid in for the unavoidable collision. (Everyone got Caught on BLACK ICE)
Then, by the grace of God, he kicked out of the 360S at an improbable 1-in-a-100 angle that allowed him to somehow cross 2 lanes of traffic (WITHOUT hitting anyone else), and came to a COMPLETE STOP *Perfectly* on the Shoulder of the freeway... BUT WITHOUT going OVER IT and INTO THE DITCH.
It will probably be the most IMPROBABLE event I will have ever witnessed in my life.
As I continued past him... I remember seeing the driver yelling "WHOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the top of his lungs (obviously still in shock from what had just happened).
I immediately started honking my horn just to let him know that he was "THE MAN" for that day
🤣🤣
@@HughJass-jv2lt That was back in 89'
I did another one here on the insland in the rain on a 90° turn at the bottom of a wet hill. There was a little old japanese man on the other side of his rock walk raking his leaves and he saw me go into a skid right at him. So he froze, because he didn't know weather to go left or right. I turned into the skip and did a 360° plus a 270° right in front of him and exited>> stage right in my old 81' 240D. Those old Bnzs could handle.
@@punapeter
That's enough excitement for a lifetime 🤣
@@HughJass-jv2lt Just goin with da flow.
Wow
Jesus loves you and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved!
Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him!
Have an amazing day ❤️❤❤
Oh god i hope as much as possible, no travelling first. God will protect u and drive safely u all!
I see so many drivers who think tailgating on pure ice on roads makes them completely invincible. Some drivers don't understand the basics of physics.
Knowing how to drive helps, too! Drivers in Colorado don't care about anyone but themselves and where they're going. I've seen so many hit and runs. It's crazy! I've also seen people drive on the sidewalks to bypass traffic 🙄....
Sadly that seems to be the case everywhere these days. I am in the Dallas area and it is terrible here. Reckless drivers everywhere.
All wheel drive audi or suburu 😅😂
Unfortunately, this is not isolated so don't feel special 😂😂😂😂 Everyone everywhere in every country around the globe is driving the same, and have the same attitude of selfishness and entitlement. We are living in wicked times and violence and crime is now demonic in the streets, stores and sadly the schools. I wish it was only in YOUR area but it's not.
@@MP392HEMIYup.
Colorado has a lot of undocumented drivers. I saw a ton of hit and runs in Los Angeles for that reason.
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🛩🌍
I’m in Fort Worth and honestly it wasn’t that bad. All they had to do was salt the roads and people stay they ass home.
People barely bump into a wall and need an ambulance ride to hospital... I don't get it.
If you get off the road, can’t stop drive off the road
Fiddy degrees below?
What happened to anchor Grammer?
It’s colder in Taxes then here in Michigan😳
Still, Amazon sells cable chains and they do ship to Texas. Every year this happens.
For one or two days. And everything shuts down. What's the point?
must visit Algeria, great and very important plans and spaces .
Damn people need to slow the F down. What is the rush.
Rip to them boys 😂
🤣🤣🤣
There’s going to be pipes busting all over the world tonight 🎶
52 and sunny here in Las Vegas...this is why we tolerate our summers.
Beets are high in Iron but somebody's still a fool cause that's ridiculous smh
Thundersleet, Thundersleet, Thundersleet, HO!
If you have been warned you should be in ⛔️ 80 percent of this country state city homes don’t think nor listen.
If I need food, money, water, and I have shelter. I rather wait until the winter ❄️ storm passes by just to go get those resources! Then put my life at risk…etc.
They're doing it for fun
Power Grid? Now imagine if more and more people drive EV.
People need to slow down
I don't know where they are getting their power outage information from but it is not true. There are over 300.000 people from Austin to Dallas and a few places in between that don't have power.
come to texas if you want to Overtake the streets! drift!~!
I feel bad for those people who can't work from home anymore. I don't want to drive more than required. It feels wonderful, knowing you can sleep more, drive less, and avoid the elements for up to 3 days on my schedule. If I wanted, I could hunker down until my next grocery run.
A failing power grid in the cold, hope they have a gas fire place. Until fusion energy is a reality I would trust the GRID.
1:14 It's like someone set up a drone spot to get some great accident footage.. Wouldn't be surprised if the drivers saw it and got distracted. SMH
