I think sometimes the meteorologists just get dramatic cuz they can. 🤣

TV meteorologists have to generate their own excitement because most of the year here it's dry, sunny, fairly warm to awfully hot. They like to talk about rain and snow in the "high country," and are fairly animated when there's possibility of a monsoon storm in the summer.

People in N. M. all need to have frozen plumbing then all go outside and pee.

Problem solved.

@SharkE.  People in Texas shouldn't build houses with the plumbing in the unheated attics.   Having to pee outside is the least of it.  Pipes swell, then burst with water soaking drywall.  The interior of the house is trashed.

Run water in a bathtub before a freeze then use it to flush toilets.

It's a very pleasant 50° in West NM; the East side is freezing with single digit temps.

@Chessa35.  There are places in the mountains in the Rockies and Sierra Nevada that look just like that.

@Chessa35   Just WOW

My house the plumbing is in the walls and under the foundation. No pier and beam houses here I don't think

Up in Ind when I lived in a mobile home we had to run electric tape around the pipes underneath the mobile home and run a drop cord to a electric plug in

Also, put a rug over the electric meter down in the meter hole to keep it from freezing up. Water froze up  one time . Meter wasn't installed far enough down.

It's sorta the same way here. Hardly any snow but plenty of high winds and cold. Colorado Springs is also in a high desert region.

That stinks with the wind. We got about 4 - 6" of snow here in the foothills of metro Denver. Did you get much?

@Chessa35 ... Is this for real and that's snow? I wouldn't be able to be right there having those two walls of snow by me! That's by a mountain so the whole country isn't like that right? Just WOW !!!! Claustrophobic city !!!

@Kachina624 , my brother in interior BC was lamenting no precipitation as well.  Things changed!  After the bitter cold, he was X country skiing yesterday!
