Unpopular take: I am actually excited for the storm. Real winter in the South is so rare. As long as the power stays on, there is nothing better than a forced 'snow day' where everything shuts down. We work too hard anyway. Take the excuse to stay inside, make chili, and watch Netflix. The world won't end if you miss one day of work because the roads are icy. Embrace the hibernation.

Going from 61 degrees on Wednesday to a blizzard on Friday is the definition of 'Weather Whiplash'. This isn't normal winter behavior; it’s the new climate reality. We are seeing these Arctic blasts dip lower and lower into the South. People in Atlanta and Dallas shouldn't have to own snow tires, but here we are. It’s a logistical nightmare for cities that don't have salt trucks. Prepare for chaos on the roads because nobody down here knows how to drive on ice.

If you live in Texas, 'Winter Storm Watch' is a trigger phrase. We aren't scared of the snow; we are scared of the grid. The fact that we still panic about power outages every time it drops below 30 degrees in 2026 is a failure of leadership. 'Winter Storm Fern' is bringing ice, which is the worst-case scenario for power lines. Stock up on water and batteries now, because we all know ERCOT isn't coming to save us if the lights go out
