The winter storm of 2021 mentally wrecked Texans across the Lone Star State. The alarming reality of being so incredibly unprepared was overwhelming.

Texas doesn't get snow often so most people don't have the equipment and clothing needed to stay warm. 

WHAT SHOULD TEXAS BE AWARE OF THIS WINTER?

The Farmers Almanac, which has been predicting weather for over 200 years, is forecasting a potentially severe Texas winter in January and February 2024. "Any winter season is capable of producing cold extremes; this winter is no exception," ERCOT pointed out as we roll into Winter 2024. 

The Farmers Almanac predicts that anywhere between January and February could see winter storms. Texans are warned to stay in front of the weather and be prepared for the worst. This means stocking up on items like:

• canned food
• bottled water
• toilet paper
• batteries
• flashlights
• baby items (like diapers, wipes, etc.)
• jumper cables
• blankets
• warm clothing (jackets, coats, gloves, etc.)

SNOW IS COMING TO TEXAS

There will be enough snowfall in Texas to open an entire ski resort!

Crazy right? A ski resort in Texas?

The company is named Alpine X and they expect to open the first of two Texas locations in 2025. 

According to Snow Industry News, a letter of intent has been signed by Alpine X, offering, "Although we can’t disclose all the details just yet, under the agreement, our companies will form a joint venture to evaluate and select sites, structure, and source development capital, and oversee the design of the resorts."
