2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
ERCOT chart is interesting today. Grid has made a significant recovery with 65kMW capacity, demand peaking around 50kMW. Yet, market pricing is still maxed out at the $9k cap. Probably letting the producers recover their loses from the past few days.

Yeah I doubt that’s happening. I’m due for my 2nd shot next week and haven’t seen anything about an appointment. Also all the supply shipments were on hold due to inclement weather.

You guys have sun?? Nothing but grey, gloomy and 25 here in Georgetown.

Switched back from team drip to team wrap. City lost water overnight and not even a drop this morning. I’m just praying all my exterior lines, which were on drip, emptied first.

Yeah stop watching the forecast lines. They’re meaningless. Capacity will be horizontal and demand will be kept below that.

And here comes the pouring freezing rain in 78633.

ERCOT capacity dropping again, guessing lost solar? As far as I can tell, no significant gains in production today. Insane. Going to be another long night folks.

Dead battery is probably the biggest concern if it’s old... otherwise cars can handle the cold.

Not seeing it on the ERCOT app, my capacity line basically looks horizontal since midnight

The forecast lines don’t mean shit, they are for typical days. The supply isn’t going up until more plants go online. The demand line is being capped below capacity due to the blackouts.

Zero degrees here last night in 78633. Unreal.

Switched from team wrap to team drip tonight. Hopefully don’t wake up with all frozen hose bibs and an inoperable bathroom sink again.

ERCOT map not looking good. Capacity continues to drop. Going to be a rough night folks- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
Tonight’s going to be terrible with no cloud cover. Buckle up.- Texas deep freeze carnage thread
I’d be trying to drain the equipment above ground. At least, get as much water out of the pumps and filters as possible so there’s room for expansion when whatever is left freezes.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
So, can we all expect like $10k electric bills this month? Serious question.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
Went out to check my hose bibs around dark and 3 out of 4 were frozen. Quick hit with the blow dryer and 2/3 were operational again in no time. Wrapped the fuck out of them and built shelters around them. Been dropping my faucets inside like a mother since Friday night. The one that wouldn’t unfreeze is supplied by a line that runs in the attic above the garage (which is uninsulated) into my spray foam sealed attic above the rest of the house. Hit it with the laser thermometer in the attic above the garage and the pipe wrap was showing 16. I guess I’m just hoping the pex can handle it at this point. Fuck.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
The power grid is getting slammed... ERCOT forecast has demand exceeding supply tonight at 9. Urging customers to conserve electricity to prevent rolling blackouts. Unplug/turn off shit you’re not using.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on

Don’t drip outside.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
Drinks aren’t already frozen? Otherwise, you should be drinking them now so they don’t go to waste when they inevitably freeze and explode. - 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
