the difference is the drainage gradient,your roads werent made with heavy rains in mind.I really don't know the difference in our highways, why they get so much more slippery than the other cities that get very cold.
Lol, it's ok. I've never had a problem driving in the rain, just when it's very icy. And it's actually never been this cold in Houston... We're reaching record-breaking cold lol ... Hurricane Harvey flooded our city because they released these big dams. It wasn't actually from the hurricane. Even though it was a monster hurricane. No highways can be built that could be driven through a level 5 hurricane. But I'm not a scientist, I just chill and endure our hurricanes when they come. Try to stay inside, then step out to see the damage. We actually throw hurricane parties sometimes and just drink hurricanes through the hurricane LOLthe difference is the drainage gradient,your roads werent made with heavy rains in mind.
PS:sorry for showing out of nowhere, but i thought a random knowledge is good :3
I know people have seen this but this was a monster! Then they released these dams that were built in 1939 which flooded the city. This was from my ig ... I don't have a problem with hurricanes, it's just these dam icy roads LOL No city is gonna be hit by this n not have water in the streets problems lol. My post earlier wasn't about flooding, it was about slippery highways from ICE.the difference is the drainage gradient,your roads werent made with heavy rains in mind.

She is absolutely beautiful!
The issue this week was that it rained first and then froze for 2 days, making the whole city a skating rink. On top of that a huge percentage of the highways here are built in the air so that mild flooding doesn’t shut the city down. 100 foot high overpasses freeze over pretty quickly when its 20 degrees out.Lol, it's ok.

Lol, yep... I definitely didn't panic, but I didn't drive anywhere. Yea there's no need to stock up on food! LOL! It's gonna be like in the 60s and 70s F, in a few days lol I do love my city! LOL ... It's gotta be something good about it to be, what, the 3rd largest city in the US, but we can get a little crazy lol ... prepare for the apocalypse! Lol ... I was getting my nails done the day before Harvey LOLThe issue this week was that it rained first and then froze for 2 days, making the whole city a skating rink.

That being said, the panic was a bit ridiculous. This is what the bread aisle looked like yesterday when I went to the grocery store. Apparentl people like to binge on bread when its cold out. I want to know whats wrong with that one last loaf.
