Texas drivers are really struggling with the snow.

Even a light layer of snow is proving to be a huge challenge.

From spinning tires to fishtailing cars, it’s clear Texans aren’t used to dealing with winter roads like this.

Videos coming out of Denton, Texas, are revealing just how underprepared these poor drivers are.

Texas drivers seen struggling with snowy roads

One of the videos, posted on X by Jordan Hall, showed a red Mustang attempting to get traction using a ratchet strap on its rear tire.

Despite the effort, the car kept slipping on the snowy street.

Then came the Camaro driver, who seemed to have given up altogether, stuck near the median and not moving.

A Miata, on the other hand, decided to take a bold approach.

The little roadster fishtailed all the way up a hill, barely making it through the slushy snow.

It was risky, but the driver somehow pulled it off.

In fact, many viewers were pretty impressed by the Miata, with one commenting that it was ‘doing the Snow-kyo drift’.

However, not everyone was so lucky.

Some cars spun out and hit barriers, showing how dangerous wet and snoy roads can be.

Even a Ford F-150, known for its toughness, and one of the best-selling cars in the US wasn’t spared.

The poor truck was spotted in the snowy median with its flashers on, unable to move.

Rear-wheel-drive vehicles like the Mustang and Camaro clearly had the most trouble.

But the biggest issue appeared to be that many drivers from Texas underestimated the snow, thinking they could drive as usual.

This led to accidents and lots of stranded cars.

Maybe they would have had better luck in a Cybertruck, given it was filmed pulling a Ford F150 out of a snow mound, but we wouldn’t like to test it ourselves.
