Just in case you think it's truly cold there:
Keep in mind, my car reads three degrees warmer than actual temp...

Same here. (except I haven’t built a fire yet this AM). For some reason all my smoke alarms went crazy at the same time with the power off at 5:15a. Had to pull batteries to get them to shut up. Not liking having to do that.

No they hung up on me honestly. “ due to extremely high call volumes we cannot take your call at this time. Try again later.“

Wow, colder than here, it is 12 in Indy! Unfortunately it’s headed here with 7” to 12” of snow by tomorrow. I remember when it would get in the teens in Houston and everyone was was out wrapping pipes a freaking. A high of 35 was like the end of the world.
Bundle up, wear loose fitting layers and stay warm!

Big difference when it is not that uncommon in one place and the end of civilization in another. When we moved here from Texas and -17 was forecast I thought I would die until remember people in Minnesota think it’s just another day during winter. I learned to deal with it, unless there is wind, in which case it’s screw it and stay inside time...

I think it froze. It wasn't on yesterday. I actually had to Google it because I've never seen that light before.

Almost 6 hours now without power. Buddies near shady oaks and in tanglewood haven’t lost power yet.

I haven't lost power yet either. I live in the slums of Wedgwood.

all pretty simple, take those furloughed welders from the shutdown pipeline, and have them thaw out the windfarms.

the inefficiency in the transmission of electricity via powerlines and the problems with storing electricity effectively and efficiently are the elephants in the room no one on the green side seem to want to recognize
