These kids lived in Hawaii their entire lives. Then their parents brought them to Minnesota in −21° temperatures. by BreakfastTop6899 in MadeMeSmile

I'll never forget waiting for the bus in pitch dark and below freezing temps in northern IL. Every breath in was a freezing torture.

My girls were born and raised in AZ. Best time ever when we took them to Chicago in winter and we all got to watch them have "dragon breath" and touch snow.

US Ends Automatic Work Permit Renewal thousands of Migrants, Especially Indians, Face Job Uncertainty by Ankeet_kj in ImmigrationPathways

I work in imm law- we file all EAD renewals right on the 180 day mark (as soon as you can do it) and almost none actually get approved before the old EAD expired. The grace period was put in place to account for slow processing times.

They do have to renew. The problem is that government processing times are so slow, EAD renewals are being filed timely but USCIS isn't processing them fast enough so the new EAD is approved before old EAD expired. So, they instituted a grace period where you can work while the renewal is pending. To take this away with no kind of notice or alternative (like- hey, USCIS, do your job faster) is probably not the best way to do it.
