Stop in for a cup of coffee

Wah, wah, wah, Texas got a little snow... :(

What you had then was nothing for us up here... :realcrazy: :poke:
Yeah but y'all get it every year and are prepared for it. We didn't get snow this time.....it was all ice at least where I live. I grew up in New England so I know about what winter is like and I don't remember losing power in a non wind event. Last time we had an ice storm here my power didn't go off but it did this last time. Not used to having my house inside temp in the 50's especially when the temps were in the high 60's just a couple of days earlier and the houses here ain't built for extended temps in the low teens. I'm sure the refinery I used to work in had another total freeze up like it did in late 89 when the temps hit 7 degrees. Refineries up north have insulation on key components or are in sheds etc. It's been said that we lost power because several gen plants were down and the others couldn't handle the load and the wind turbines iced up to add to the cluster screw up. And it looks like there's not much of a move on fixing the problems with our power grid.....
