Historic snow, ice storm threatens gridlocks, major power outages from Texas to Florida

Millions across the Gulf Coast states are bracing for a rare winter storm moving along the northern Gulf of Mexico, which will spread dangerous snow and ice along 1,000 miles of Interstate 10 from central Texas to northern Florida and the coastal areas of Georgia and the Carolinas, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. The storm threatens to shut down travel for days and cut power for an extended period in part of the region.

As of Tuesday morning, an unprecedented blizzard warning was in effect from the upper Texas coast to part of the Louisiana coast. Blizzard conditions occur when the visibility is one-quarter of a mile or less in snow or blowing snow with winds of 35 mph or greater for at least three consecutive hours. The storm has shut down roads and airports along the Gulf coast, including in the Houston area.

For parts of the western and northern Gulf coast, this could be the biggest snow and ice storm in more than 100 years and possibly one that people may remember for decades.

I have a friend living in a senior center in San Antonio. Last year when they got hit with the ice and frost they lost power, and had to drive really far to find a hotel to stay in.

Praying and praying that we don't lose power! Up north I had a wood stove and good supply of wood but not here. If worst comes to worst however I think I could just go to the clubhouse as there is a gas generator there that I hope works properly. Uncomfortable but at least the folks here would not freeze.

Well that nixes that, apparently the generator at the clubhouse is not in working order. Not sure what I would do if the power goes down. We are going to drop into the upper teens tonight.

This snowfall is being called "historic". It's unusual for this kind of snow storm to this part of the US, especially with blizzard conditions.

I was talking with someone about this and I was asked whether snow can be man-made.
I immediately replied, anything is possible with the weather manipulation that's been going on for decades, but I had to say I'm really not sure if snow is man-made and whether it's possible that this historic snow fall could be.

I kinda forgot about the discussion but after a while it came to me.....

Yes! Snow Can be man-made!
It's possible that this current historic snow storm could be by weather manipulation.

What came to me was that we have a resort in our San Bernardino Mountains called
Big Bear ski resort.

Big Bear depends on the Skiers using the resort for skiing every Winter and it means making money for the businesses there in Big Bear.

So whenever a Winter was not having a good snowfall they would make Artificial Snow because the skiers loved "Fresh Powder" snow because it's the best for skiing.

They would use a special machine that makes snow and they use it to keep the powder snow that the skiers loved and that would keep the skiers there skiing longer which would mean more money for the Big Bear Business.

So while I can't confirm that this in particular historic snow storm is actually man-made, the possibility exists.

No big deal I'm sure unless this snow storm causes serious problems but still people living in the area impacted by this snow isn't used to this type of weather so it can cause some problems for some people.
But even if it's man-made, what can someone do?

It becomes problematic just like flooding has caused problems due to the cloud seeding that brings off Season rains or more rain than the soil can absorb.

I'm more inclined to think that this is God made, not man-made. God is trying to get people's attention. For those who are humble it is working. For those who are puffed up in themselves, they look for every other excuse rather than God.

God is trying to get people's attention

That is my thought also.

What would God be saying through this particular storm? How would it get someone’s attention?

I agree
The only reason I thought it a "possibility" that it "could" be from weather manipulation is because "science" has messed with God's Creation so much and has resulted in disturbing God's design and it's never a good result, and looking at Revelation 11:18 we can see that God is judging those who have destroyed His Creation, in this verse it points to the Earth.

"The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
Revelation 11:18

But I would more likely see it as God giving warning of impending judgement as well. Like precursor smaller earthquakes that happens before a major earthquake.
Or loud thunder that means a storm is coming.

Deadly 1,500-mile paralyzing winter storm blankets South in snow from Texas to Florida​

NEW ORLEANS – A historic and deadly winter storm that stretches over 1,500 miles blanketed the southern U.S. on Tuesday with historic snow totals, including the first-ever Blizzard Warning for the Gulf Coast and potentially record amounts of snow in Florida.

The rare bout with wintry weather first swept across southwestern Texas early Tuesday morning, leading to a crash involving "several fatalities" east of La Pryor, according to Uvalde County officials.

First responders said the icy conditions hampered the response to a deadly crash that occurred southwest of San Antonio.

Snow moved across major Texas cities later Tuesday, bringing snow and sleet to Austin and San Antonio before strengthening over southeastern Texas.

Nearly every state impacted by this system was under a state of emergency, including Florida. Tallahassee and Jacksonville in northern Florida are both under Winter Storm Warnings.

What would God be saying through this particular storm? How would it get someone’s attention?

I think the main message is -Time to get saved! Don't put it off.

Natural disasters kill people, reminding the rest of us that life is uncertain even in modern times when we've blunted the worst of the damages of weather, plagues etc. It's human nature to put things off, including salvation while the going is good.

People turn to God when they realize they are not in control, that eternity is closer than they thought. Thinking of the sudden surge in seeking God after 911 or similar situations.

ing these people do not lose their power. In Jesus Name. It has been really cold here in Mo only 14 today with a low of 16 tonight. This has been the coldest Winter that I can remember in quite awhile. We even had 9" of snow.

I agree God is trying to shake people to wake them up and turn to him.

Even in Alabama, we always had a couple of kerosene heaters and some full containers. Good for both heat and (simple) cooking/heating water for coffee, etc.

Came in handy several times in different southern states where we were stationed. As well as northern.

Every house we owned had a wood-burning fireplace or a wood stove, as well. We kept enough seasoned, split wood around for enjoyment and utility.

Ski resorts/slopes make snow most places, as it's a necessity for the business.

The snow machines make snow from water using the cold air. They don't seed or feed the clouds to create/add to precipitation, snow, ice, or otherwise. If TPTB want to exasperate a snow storm, they need to feed the clouds, so more falls. That involves getting up into the atmosphere.

Exactly. When tragedies and difficulties strike, people are more open to listen to the gospel when it's presented to them.
