Unusually cold temperatures and record snow continued to hit the US well into February, blanketing large parts of the territory. Winter Storm Shirley impacted the Deep and Upland South and Ohio Valley. In Texas, main roads were blocked, more than 4 million households were without power, and as many as 10 million were left without tap water. It was the costliest natural disaster in the recorded history of the state. Basic infrastructure was affected as it proved ill-prepared for such a sudden drop in temperatures. “Green energy“ also proved to be quite useless in such emergencies with frozen wind turbines and unusable solar panels covered in snow. Is this a glimpse of what may occur in other countries?
