I was in Dallas over this past holiday weekend. I experience the snow, cold and rolling blackouts first hand. My hotel had long black outs (6-8 hours) followed by short intervals of returned power (2-4 hours). Most fast food and other businesses were closed. I managed to drive to a Target, and stocked up on "cold" foods (pre-made sandwiches, Oscar Myers Lunchables). I placed my cold items in the car rental trunk to keep cold since the temp was around 15 degrees.

Items inside those large gas stations, that sell everything, were wiped out. It was surreal and I was so glad to leave on Tuesday. My main worry was where to get my coffee. LOL

Honestly, I was not that cold in my hotel, probably due to the fact the hotel was newly built and well insulated. What pissed me off was the view I had of the skyscrapers in downtown Dallas, Downtown Dallas was always lit, no rolling black outs there.
