Quick reminder that America isn't actually 250 years old. It was born on March 30, 2003 when legendary American patriots, Limp Bizkit, performed "Rollin'" for The Undertaker's entrance at WrestleMania XIX.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.

⚠️ I can’t overstate how CATOSTROPHIC this Ice Storm could be if the models are even half right.

🧊The Model AVERAGES are showing around 1 inch of Ice Accumulation from Texas, through Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and into the Carolinas.

Some Models (like the generally reliable Euro Model) even have a crippling 1-2" of Ice accumulating there.

🧊 To put Ice amounts into perspective:
🧊0.25” – Highly disruptive. Iced roads, scattered power outages, tree and line damage.
🧊0.5” – CRIPPLING. Severe tree damage and widespread, long-lasting power outages.
🧊1” or more – Catastrophic. Infrastructure failure, impassable roads, and weeks-long power outages.

⚠️ This is why this setup is so concerning. A prolonged, multi-day freezing rain event would lead to disastrous ice accumulations.

🙏 Let’s hope the models are overdoing this, because if they aren’t, the South could be in serious trouble.

Don't panic yet. There is still time for trends to change. I'll be live at 7:00pm ET to talk through this.

Hang in there. I'll help get you through this my brotheren

⚠️ A Winter Storm WATCH has been issued for all of north Texas and the DFW Metroplex from late Friday afternoon through late Saturday night.

❄️ Moderate to heavy accumulations of snow, sleet, or ice are likely across the region Friday through Saturday night. In addition, dangerous cold temperatures are expected Saturday night through Monday morning, according to the NWS.

🌨️ Roads, especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become dangerous. Significant ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs may cause power outages. Extreme cold will become life threatening and likely damage unprotected pipes and put livestock at risk.

🏠 Make winter preparations to home and businesses before Friday. Check on vulnerable friends and family. Consider delaying or altering weekend travel plans.

When people outside of Texas ask why we’re so loyal to a private company like @HEB…this is the reason. Every disaster we have, they beat the Red Cross there and do so much to help. Born and raised Texas right here!
