Sleet/ice there soon, enjoy it because I would !!For example, extremely cold temperatures for an extended period of time can cause Texas' power grid to fail.
Conversely, extremely hot temperatures for an extended period of time do not.

Extremely hot temperatures puts an exorbitant load on the power grid when everyone has their AC's blasting trying to keep up with blazing hot temperatures 24/7 - resulting in electric generating units running full steam and causing all sorts of other issues, not the least of which include enhanced air pollution.For example, extremely cold temperatures for an extended period of time can cause Texas' power grid to fail.

Yeah right around 4 inches here which would lead me to consider this an average winter. The way AN December would drop it down a peg but the cold Jan would bump it up so still right around an average winter so far depending the outcome of Feb/Mar
So in summary it’s ice or it’s rain. One or the other. Maybe a little of both.

Texas has experienced horrific periods of air quality EVERY summer that are directly correlated with extremely hot temperatures.Texas has *NEVER* experienced the systemic grid failure that it did in February 2021 because of extremely hot temperatures over an extended period
Not even during the 2010-2012 drought-enhanced torch.

It sends people to the hospital and in severe cases, can lead to death. Air pollution isn't an allergic reaction to grass pollen so I'm not sure how Benadryl is going to help someone having an asthma attack or COPD flareup that is caused by increased ozone concentrations in the air? You're way off the mark on this one.Horrific air quality doesn't shut down commerce or cause widespread destruction.
People with bad allergies might need to take more Benadryl and carefully plan their daily activites, but that's the full extent of the issues it causes.

Pollen is a form of air pollution, and it does get quite bad in extended hot/dry periods.
That said, my point stands, which is that you're also making a false equivalency.
People hate ice storms, and it's weird to cheer them on, because they're disruptive to daily activities (business or personal) and destroy things that are expensive to replace.
All places with a high population density deal with poor air quality, but you never hear about them grinding to a halt because of it, nor do you hear about massive infrastructure failures or costly property damage due to poor air quality
Pollen is not air pollution lol.Pollen is a form of air pollution, and it does get quite bad in extended hot/dry periods.
