Ken can we call this weather an illegal entry since it crossed the border?
A month ago we could have. Even criminals and terrorists are welcome now. They’re not even checking for diseases.

I think it's going to snow around here for awhile and Griffin is not happy about it at all.

Just took these pictures off my front and back porch. This small electric gage is reading
11 degrees with 62% humidity, but Mickey says is about 3 degrees and the snow is still
coming down good. The wind chill is now a -9 degrees. The news says it will end later tonight,
but we have more on the way this Tuesday and Wednesday.

17 below zero yesterday and 24 below zero here in Sioux Falls this morning, actual air temps not wind chill. Fortunately no wind here this morning. One side benefit to this though, I picked up a frozen fudge turtle ice cream cake for my wife for Valentines Day yesterday and did not have to worry about it melting on the way home. lol In this area we are somewhat used to and prepared for this kind of weather. Feel sorry for all you poor folks in Texas who are neither.

I think all of Texas is going through rolling blackouts right now because of the low temps and the extra high electrical usage.
We're getting about 25 minutes on and 25 minutes off. Makes it hard to cook or keep the house at a constant temp. Is anyone
else going through this same thing right now?

I just read an article about the wind turbines freezing, a lot of Texas' power comes from those.

Your right there is a big windmill farm just west of my area and not too far up in Oklahoma is a huge array of them (over 40).
According to a May 2020 article I read Texas power breakdown is 34% Natural Gas, 32% Coal, 11% Nuclear, 17% Wind, 5% Natural Gas (other), and 1% Solar.

Temperature here is 4 degrees with 10 mph north wind. It stopped snowing though and the sun is shining. We got about 6 inches of snow by my estimate - haven't actually tried to measure but waded through it this morning when I went out to check the cows water - had to chop a hole in the ice. Water in creek is frozen over also.

We are having rolling blackouts here too David. Our power comes from an REA co-op but it's subject to the state power grid control. Blackout here started about 3:40 AM and power has been off and on several times since. Power is off about 45 minutes, on for 15. It's 60 degrees in the living room of our house and getting colder. The heat is not on long enough to hold its own. It could be worse though - at least so far we're not among the millions of Texans that have no power at all.

Wind turbines in West Texas are frozen up due to ice. Generating no power. Solar panels are covered by snow. Generating no power. Stupidity on display.

I'm on my cellphone, the power is off again. Your right Ken we've got the quilts and blankets out because the heater can't keep up with the power outages.

Temperature here now is 2 degrees. At 4 AM it was -3. Can't remember it ever being this cold in my lifetime. Lots of plants are not likely to survive.

Still having rolling blackouts since early yesterday with power on only 15 minutes every hour. Temperature inside the house is 58 now. Forecast is for more snow and possibly sleet starting late today into tomorrow. Worried we may lose electricity altogether.

This is a huge storm affecting most of Texas with ice and snow as far south as Houston and Corpus Christi.

Around 10degrees here in Grant County Indiana. Been out with the snow blower until my fingers got numb. Gonna warm up and then back at it, city plow hasn't been out yet or maybe the driver just quit. Thinkin that snow blower is the best investment I ever made, should have done that 10 years ago!

My brother that wintered over in Alaska in 2019 just sent me a text

It's now 18 degrees here in my little slice of paradise. We have been through two ice storms over the past few days with the second one concluding last night. The weatherman says we can expect another round of winter by late tomorrow or perhaps early Thursday. Many of the homes in my county are without electricity at this time. The ice formed by freezing rain has taken down lots of trees and /or large limbs that have inflicted major damage to power lines. I've been very fortunate (blessed) that our power has remained on. One of my daughters is without power and has been since yesterday afternoon. My heart goes out to all the folks in Texas that are being hit so hard by this extreme winter weather.
