All Activity

RE will continue to get more expensive on a PPA basis so long as we continue to ignore the issues plaguing transmission, distribution and direct competition between industrial scale AI/DC buildout and the insane lack of investment in upstream base materials supply (like spinning up mining and refining). I maintain that negative prices on the spot market are a sign of market failure, not something that should be cheered. These prices certainly are not going to get better this year: The correct take is that *all energy* will continue to get more expensive in the world we've built for ourselves now. (Disclosure that I am long ICLN -- because yes, most of these companies will try and expand their margins off the backs of the ratepayer and externalizing the grid cost -- my PNL tells me if I'm right or not, so far, so good.)

Or maybe not!

Two main factors allowed me to retain some snow 1 I have done a bit better than most of SNE in these garbage events, which is usually where I "shine" relative to the region...you guys will rain, and I'll get Dendrite and Jeff's sloppy second-crumbs. I had 1.5" of pack-preserving sleet last Friday while it rained a few miles south. 2 My warm stretch yesterday was fleeting bc I didn't mix out until the front was approaching. Not to mention I radiate pretty well...

I’m gonna be the guy that says he misses the weather we had earlier this week. I’m super done with cold weather.

this storm covers alot of acreage

Great read! Thanks! Once in a lifetime event that was. Especially in terms of the large area affected. Not to mention max wind speeds, sfc pressure, snow totals and gulf storm surge. Rouge event not to be repeated anytime soon on that large a scale. Not to say regional storms across the MA/NE won't pack a punch at times just not to the scale of 93.

Yeah no way in hell I would want to live there.

CIPS has been more anemic than the CSU-MLP page. We'll see how both pages evolve over the next few days.

I think a consequence of this early convectively, active pattern will be a relax followed by a well timed vigorous return. I also haven't given up on winter. I still think the old man shows his face during one of the swings.

D4 setup could be legit if we aren't too socked in with low level clouds, etc.

Yep we had snow then

I'm starting to get heavy recession billowing out from beneath trees...but the lion's share of the flat expanse is covered.

Pray for Phoenix

Yeah I saw a graphic yesterday that SLC has only had 2.9" but I'm sure they'll still have chances to add to it

Hold out huh No snow here on flat expanses. gone. We do have the piles though. It's a weird look. Almost like happening upon the collapsed ruins of an ancient era.

Will some please post the FRAM forecasts?Thanks in advance.

Let’s get some solid damage Monday/Monday night with the screamer

G64MPH ORD and G70MPH GYY.

Plant your onions.

Same in my yard...

The big issue here will be the ice. MSP should get hit hard Sat night into Sun am with snow, as well as N WI/UP during the day, but a big mess for ev1 else.

Barely even negative on that forecast.

I thought 2020 had flurries in May... in fact, I know it did. I recall standing out on my friend's deck as a blown out virga CU came over and stray dendies floated by for a couple minutes. I'm like really - I don't know. Maybe it has to actually be 32 to damage orchard crops... and that was say 33 to 44 with very low freezing heights.

Yep-with that ridge very little precip and the ridge is going nowhere fast. Awful skiing conditions at Breckenridge this year the worst I have even seen

It can snow there in May.
