You don't get heatstroke from a few minutes of exposed skin.The Third Man wrote:So does heatstroke.
Nor do you have to shovel heat or chip it off your windshield.
Summer in Austin is awful and it is long. I will take it 100 times out of 100 in order to never have to set foot in the [expletive] yall are dealing with again.

Stay warm and stay home. No reason to go out in that cold.

I don't think it is as much the temperature as it is the fact that they can't get the roads cleared. If you live in the city, nothing gets plowed or treated except for the main roads. Lots of people can't get out of their neighborhoods if there is a hill involved. I have a couple of friends who tried to get to work today and ended up stuck because of an icy hill and unable to get anywhere.
In the city there are lots of narrow one way streets for apartments with no parking other than street parking which can't really be plowed or treated without people needing to park their cars a mile away. My building has parking for us behind it but most of the buildings on the alley don't. You either get a common back yard or parking. Never both where I'm at. Plus the city doesn't really get a lot of practice dealing with a decent snow fall like this. We don't get snows and temperatures like this combined very often.
