Blackstart is also a pain in the ass. Not sure what generation is local or on this side of the transmissions outages, but could be a while till back up. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

The tweet said they lost 12 MW of grid power but have 15 MW of on-site generation (turbine 6), should be nat gas turbine. Based on that wording they should have full capacity, but certainly on more of a knife edge. Could also be a lot more going on as that is Turbine 6? I am sure they have very regular maintance and test runs, but if gas turbines they are dependant on gas distribution. Gas distribution is generally hardier but can fail with loss of power if compressor stations don't have backup, as we saw in Texas this winter. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

She ain't got no alibi. Last few sattelite frames have been impressive. Good luck gulf... not exactly Henri. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Max heights, not significant wave height. Impressive no doubt though!! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Yeah set up for pockets of maximum damage. Additionally no one videos the areas which don't have damage, which slant sticks the perception some. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I get what you are saying, but seems worse than a moderate noreaster. I know quite a few people with full oaks down. Damage definitely falls off very quick away from the water on both sides of the bay though. https://instagram.com/stories/thekingslens/2646040594301596826?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&utm_medium=share_sheet Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Power out at my house in Narragansett Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Strengthening has been indefinitely 24 hours away for the past 4 days Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I live in Narragansett and lost power 4 times this summer and about 7 times this year so far. US grid average is ~1.3 a year. Kinda pathetic. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Was hoping to sneak in and get a surf in before dark, but might have to push back to Monday. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Flight arriving at 4 pm into pvd on Sunday, seems like a 50-50 chance? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Very well said. I guess I am also struggling with what OPs point is. His copy pastes seem to highlight the culture war and terminology aspects of the book and opinion pieces, but beyond that what is he saying? Do you not think AGW is real? If so, why not? What other mechanism describe the increases? Does that theory hold up to review and scrutiny? Do you expect research to continue in that area? What criticism of that theory would make you chnage your mind? There are many facets of climate change discussion which are ongoing and will continue to be ongoing as we live through it, more data results, and research continues. "Settled" is then a vary vague and imprecise term without more detail and context... For OPs benefit, climate science is very active with research into the impact of past, present, and future human behavior on climate change and various climate, biological, and social systems. The area is not "at rest" or "settled" with ongoing research and input subject to the scientific process and peer review of its merits. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Found this snow depth visualization of Steins run from the groomer pretty cool. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Sounded like a freightliner just came through, shook the house and trashcans all knocked over. Impressively abrupt here. Weather station has only been up since xmas, but just hit its max gust of 32. Nothing crazy but decent considering it is pretty sheltered from the north by the house and reads low as a result. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

2-3 (eyeballed) of fluff in Narragansett, RI. Coming down nice and dead clam out. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Snow plastering everything, decent number of small and medium trees down in the neighborhood Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Pretty quickly (10 mins) went from nothing to snowing pretty good in Southern RI. If it keeps this up, seems like we should do well enough Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I know there was a partial burial of some folks yesterday who had no gear, training, etc, but I haven't seen any news elsewhere of a slide/death today. That would be tragic, especially if it was a rescuer... Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Wind was much less than the last one in S. RI. Some light roaring, but all my wreaths are still on the windows. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Thats a nice wave maker. Nice xmas south swell. Beauty of skiing and surfing, make lemonade out of grinches. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Drought in the summer, rain in the winter. Might as well jump in the bay now. Lock in the weenie shrinking... Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
