Is Texas getting another 100 year snow storm *checks notes* less then a year later?

no, we had significant ice storms all the time in the 90s and then went through a period of dry or mild winters. then last year (an actually bad event) hit and now any time there's a stiff breeze people get ptsd

the gas companies and traders also made a ton of money in the last event, so they're probably planning to do what they can to induce scarcity again

People tend to make the common mistake of believing that a situation will last forever.
it was about 7 degrees for two weeks, then 50 degrees outside right now... the previous 14 inches of snow from 2 weeks ago is finally melting away, and its about to dump another 12-16 inches in my region of Ohio.

I'm sad, we have plenty of snow on the ground but we could probably use a fresh foot or more to clean things up and this is missing us.
