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.

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.

Unfortunately you’re spot on. Seems like today’s system is just about moved out.MontgomeryCoWx wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 6:11 amMore than half of America is an emotion over logic crowd so don’t hold your breath.txsnowmaker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 6:02 am We’ve got a bigger problem.

Sorry about the orientation.

Not to jump ahead, but overnight trended towards starting (at least) our next storm system as freezing rain across a large portion of the area. We'll have to see if models continue to trend colder with a longer duration of freezing rain Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Might as well jump ahead since maybe another winter storm watch could be issued for some areas if the surface air stays like an ice box. Not as brutal though.

Awesome coating of white outside. Been without power now for a little over an hour and a half at this point. Would presume part of the blackouts, but difficult to say for sure for obvious reasons. Gas fireplace is on. Will have an old fashioned campfire-style breakfast if things don’t get going here in a bit.
