This morning Texas hit the peak demand of 68,881 MW at 8:40 A.M. the grid had 83,000 MW of supply, meaning Texas had a 14,119 MW margin of safety.
This cold snap doesn’t compare to last year’s, though, both with temperatures, the length of the storm and demand. During last year’s freeze, peak demand was 74,000 MW.
Temp now is 30˚F with mostly sunny skies the ice is melting fast. The roads are already clear. With temps rising above freezing this afternoon today will be last day of the ice around here.

10°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 27° today. The winds are much more manageable today at only 6mph, so the power seems to be staying on (probably just jinxed myself there).
The clasp on the barn door is still frozen shut. Hoping the sunlight today will melt that. If not, I'll have to get after it with the heat gun this afternoon. Need to get the tractor out today to clear the drifts across the driveway.
Talked to my boss this morning to tell him what we have going on here, and that I still can't get out of my driveway. He told me the highways over in the city and STL County are terrible, and that I should just stay home anyway and come back Monday morning. Sometimes, he's a good guy.
Wife told the stepson this morning that she wants him to help me clean the upper part of the driveway and the concrete pad in front of the garage. I told him I was going to wait until it warmed up a bit. He put his gear on, went out, and did it by himself. Sometimes that boy surprises me. I know there was an ulterior motive, but the fact that he did that level of manual labor without being bribed is a rare feat. Not going to complain at all.
I've seen some of Paul's videos on YouTube. Good stuff.

24°f now not much wind, rained from suppertime last night until early this morning when it changed to freezing rain and then sleet. It's changing back and forth from sleet to a mix now maybe an inch so far, supposedly will be over early this evening. there's about 1/4" of ice under it all which will make clean up a joy lol. Gathered up all the tax stuff this morning may play with that later or not! I think a movie and a beer or two this afternoon, clean up tomorrow most likely.
Everyone stay safe and enjoy

PJS - I can't get my son to do that kind of labor, nice to hear.
Be careful with the ice.
I also found the PA list of Native species for planting supported by PA DOC.
So I will start looking at this list to start my screen and replant.
We have lost so many Ash on my property, it is looking very sparse and can see through to neighboring properties.
I want to replace some of these, so time for research and of course some of the GM team is providing some much needed help, which is greatly appreciated!

Our temperature, at the south edge of Denton, TX, just hit 32 sunny degrees, just after 1:30 p.m., and I just went out and poured about .55" of water out of my rain gauge that had shown to be just under 4" of snow.

Good morning to all! (Well, now afternoon). Low was -1°, now up to 32°, shooting for a high of 34°.
I had to make a run into town this morning, tried taking the car.... no go.... went about 6 feet before it was stuck. Took the truck instead, no problem with 4WD. Once I made it out to the main road, it was clear sailing.
So, after getting home, got the tractor out and cleared the parking area and the main driveway. It was nice to get some seat time.
It wasn't brutally cold, but my hands and feet both got cold to the point of starting to hurt. Got finished and now warming the footsies by the pellet stove.
No more precipitation forecast for the next 7 days (always subject to change within 24 hours) so we'll be good for a few days.....
