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.

'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
