I'm from Colorado so I'm no stranger to freezing temperatures and snow

Up here on Michigan? Up to my knees

Right now, in Texas, it's up to my calves in some portions but mostly up to my ankles.

Hmm. Down in Texas, sounds like yall are lucky.

You could say. But in reality, it's prolly not much different from how you are. Texas is not prepared for anything like this; snow, freezing temperatures, ice, power outages and frozen pipelines. So having snow up to your ankles and calves with a chance of no power when you get back inside is no different than having snow up to your knees and taking a while to warm up

True

up here in montana, its pretty dismal, but midwesterns all the way my guy. I came from Nebraska FYI

If you didn't read the title, I'm from Colorado and yeah, I feel ya. It's cold and depressing here in Texas because it rarely snows, let alone this bad in Texas, but in Colorado this type of weather is the norm lol
