With stock ponds frozen, range cattle can't drink. The power companies are already warning about outages. Those coal-fired power plants don't seem so evil now, do they?

I am in Central Texas,Hill Country.We are frozen solid.Everything is covered with ice.19 F right now,tomorrow night it's suppose to be 2 F. Never seen anything like this in my 20 years living here.The ground is covered with 2 inch solid ice crust.I live in the middle of a skating rink,lol.
Must be why that wreck on 35 was so bad on Thursday. All the ice. And hasn't been above freezing since then... hope we got salt for the roads or something somewhere.
That was a private company that owned that road deciding to save a few hundred dollars. Semis driving 70 in icy conditions didn't help.
What’s even worse is that NTTA was always really good about keeping the roads clean so people would pay tolls on ice days. They sold to the Spanish company that now owns it and our first bad ice day in last few years had the worst wreck we have ever seen.
There was clearly some bad driving too because I use that express lane daily. Too many people that don’t understand black ice in Texas.
