Funny they are wanting to put in numerous data centers in Indiana, but they are already cautioning homeowners to crank down the thermostat to 65 to avoid overloading the system and power outages. If there isn't enough power in the grid to heat homes, how are we going to run data centers?

That’s a good point, Bob.

It’s 8 degrees here with a windchill factor of zero. I’m on winter lockdown for the next several days. Got groceries, whiskey, chili in the Crockpot, and I don’t have to go back to work until Wednesday. We have our name on the list for the guy that plows our driveway too. Sippin’ some whiskey now and don’t much care about the storm. Tomorrow is another story.

Stay safe and feel free to check in with us when you can.

Our world here as of early this morning.

Mahalo for the photos....makes me nostalgic for my skiing years although I definitely do not miss the low temps that come with it. I remember well an ice storm I was in when living in upstate NY (Rochester). Tons of large limbs and even whole trees came down blocking roads. We were without power for an entire week. Was not pleasant; wouldn't want to go through anything like that again, so I feel for any of you who are.

Rochester NY Q? That's my ol home town area (actually from the county east of Monroe).
Been here since I hitch-hiked down in 1882.

Yes, Scott IIRC, I believe you once mentioned that you'd lived in Palmyra. My family moved to Fairport in 1978 where I graduated from high school (1983). March 1991 was the massive ice storm; they called it a 100-year storm. I split the very next year, 1992, and headed for sunny CA and eventually HI. Although I mostly liked living in the Rochester area, that ice storm experience was no fun at all and I do not envy anyone who may be experiencing something like that now.. I haven't gone back there ever since.
