    Right, you come barging in acting like no one cares. Like no one was going to comment on your 'fart in an elevator' post.

    I made a comment about the discussion you reply with a catty personal attack. Don't care if you've been here 20 years, are the site admin, or a mod, it was petty. I was trying to add positively to the discussion. Even if it was not the most profound or highest quality comment at least it was pertinent and not another shit off topic comment (kind of like this one, I guess). I'm not going to derail this thread anymore.

    Yes mr. 10 posts, everyone talking about the rating totally doesn't care about those who have been killed or injured. It is totally that.

    Thank you for proving my point. People being rude to each other over this, no matter what side you are on, is wrong. 10 posts or 1000 makes no difference if you are just poisoning public discourse and has nothing to do with the discussion going on.

  3. The power has thankfully stayed on for us and customers throughout the state without power have gone down about 50% from 4.5 million to 2.7 million. Still a whole lot of people without but doing a lot better than yesterday.

     

    Ended up getting another 3"+ of snow last night with totals from both storms at over 8".

  4. Hoping we are done with the rolling blackouts. The power has stayed on for 2 hours now, by far the longest stretch since Sunday night. We were expecting another 2" - 4" tonight and I have not seen a flake as of yet. 19°F feels downright balmy compared to this morning's -2°F

    Wind had problems but it wasn't *the* problem. That honor would go to natural gas: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.texastribune.org/2021/02/16/natural-gas-power-storm/amp/

    Though some turbines did freeze, wind actually went over their projections this past weekend. Here's another good article on what actually broke down.
