Almost done here in Montgomery county. Switched over to snow around 2:30 and since then picked up about 2 inches. Going to look beautiful in the morning.

Then you’ll never be impressed. Easily the most impressive I’ve ever seen here and probably will stand for life

Moderate snow now and just saw lightening and a clap of thunder. Thunder sounded really weird.

We’ve got a bigger problem. ERCOT said 15 minutes to an hour for rolling blackouts, but Center Point is apparently saying that due to excessive demand they’re having to cut power during rolling blackouts for longer than expected. Many including me have been out for hours so they owe a bit more of an explanation as to how long we’ll be out for and how frequently they’ll be shutting off. Apparently 12,000 megawatts of power is offline due to frozen wind turbines. Those who want us completely off reliable natural gas should take a cue and learn an important lesson in logic and reason from this event.

More than half of America is an emotion over logic crowd so don’t hold your breath.

Unfortunately you’re spot on. Seems like today’s system is just about moved out.
