No, it wasn't. I had power the entire time and I had to help neighbors whose vehicles would not start and deal with dangerous roads. No one in Texas has the correct winter tires and cities lack the infrastructure to clear the roads quickly. It was dangerous, not pleasant, even with electricity.
As a Minnesotan I concur, but most people don’t put winter tires on. It’s infuriating.
For those not in the know, the rubber is formulated to be softer at cold temperatures. Summer/performance tires get ridiculously hard and all-season tires are “meh” at best.
