Is that map really suggesting that 3/4 of the United States will get 6 inches of snow or over?

yeah, I'm not buying it. i think someone forgot to change it from mm to in in the legend
also, you'll be hearing more about the Christmas storm, don't you worry.
my hopes for a decent snow have gone down. 1-2in, MAYBE 3. :frown:
Could be around 2" ... but also could be 6"!

Praise be . . . the secret gov't weather modification people didn't fire up HAARP and divert the storm away from the Drought Stricken Kansas Plains. Hopefully they'll hold off on their weather mods for the central/SW US for awhile so that area can get some moisture.

I'm going to need to be on the high side of that estimate to also get an office closing on either Thursday or Friday or both. what's the timeframe looking like? like, when does the snow start and when does it end?

you will be fighting everyone else that was delayed to get out on the next flights and they aren't going to bump anyone already booked on those flights. pro-tip: the second the flight is cancelled don't go stand in the line. call the phone number of the airline and talk to them and they will rebook you.

I-70 could be closed west of Salina by 6 in the morning. I could even see it being closed west of Topeka at some point.
Leaving Omaha Friday early afternoon heading back to KC. How fracked am I? 1-10 level of frackness please.

If you understand how models work you would not crap soo much on them. It's a amazing piece of science that we can be even as close as we are in predicting weather.

Never say never. Ask the people that got 3 or 4 inches of snow last week when the forecast only had a trace.Yeah, here comes all the weathertards... "Our previous models are changing and now we'll get a dusting and some rain. Ooops"

Yet they never seem to predict 2" and end up with 10".
storm, what's your call for Manhattan now?
STormnut I'm not bagging you or the "science". I'm bagging the f*cking nancys here in KC on the weather that are claiming a freaking deathstorm 3 days in advance and then slowly back away to... Oh nevermind it's just going to be an inch or two... BECAUSE MODELS.
My industry makes lots of decisions based on crap like this. Making the country think we are basically going to be wiped off the map for a few days just to get ratings is bullshit.
storm, what's your call for Manhattan now?
Thinking 10 to 12. waiting for the 18z models and see if the slowing trend continues. That will not come out till 3 or 4 this after noon.

6PM - Highball's start to flow
7PM - Order Domino's
8PM - TSC my ass off in the comfort of my living room while watching the game, in front of my gas fireplace. Comfort family that we will now explode the house like JJ's, because I know they will rough ridin' go on and on about that.
10:30PM - Fist pumping ends.
11:00PM - Watch the new version of Red Dawn. Complain about how much better the first one is to Mrs Pete. Perhaps even get in an argument about communists or something.
1:00AM - Go to sleep (pass out)
did everyone see my post where i said i can wear whatever i want tomorrow? that means no business casual and i can wear denim.

I just shoveled too. I had 12+ in my driveway. Also, the new driveway is big as eff. Like 2.5x bigger than the old one. Buying a snow blower this spring for next year.

I almost just tied of a heart explosion shoveling my drive.
OP got more than 10. Probably more like 12-14.

Was just getting ready to go out and do my giant driveway when the doorbell rang. 2 guys with snow blowers. I say how much, he says $45 and I say, get to it and closed the door and cracked a beer. It was glorious. :gocho:
I wanted to get a workout in today, so I did it myself. I also did it for a few neighbors that I like and for the cute girl down the street pro bono. Gave her a ;) as she pulled in and she replied with a "thank you so much, I owe you". ZIPPPPPPPPP!!!

first off dont be rude its cadly, secondly my point was i always wait until the snow stops to shovel MY own driveway. it may be more to shovel but i ony have to do it once

I can see both sides of this.
To me it makes some sense to get some off when I can, then the last few are just basically scraping off an inch or two which goes really quick. Waiting for 8-12" seems like a lot more work to me. :dunno:

What is cadly? Are you saying mocat is behaving like a cad (i.e., an ill-bred man, especially one who behaves in a dishonorable or irresponsible way toward women)? If so, you're way out of line. I'm pretty sure mocat is the opposite of an ill-bred man. Superbly bred is more like it. Non-cad. Anti-cad maybe. Basically what I'm saying is that the last thing anybody is coming at mocat about is his breeding. It's just not a fight you're going to win.

His method is both lazier and ultimately more difficult if you get a lot of snow. Not surprising to see _FAN completely mush this fool. Textbook _FAN mushing: subtle, classy, devastating.

If it forms in this area Kansas City will be in the perfect spot for a snowstorm, potentially bigger and more intense than the storm we just experienced. This would create near blizzard conditions over our viewing area with major accumulations of snow.

Yeah. He said the snow won't start until 12:00 to 3:00AM. 6-10" for the south side of KC and 1-3" for the north side. They don't have that on their website yet though and their blog has been down.
I'm hoping for pud central in Chicago this week. I hate snow and cold.

It's just El Nino, guys.
there's a group of people that will bitch about whatever weather they're having. regardless of what type of weather it is.

No it's not. (Although I wish it were.)

Well, I'm not sure if we're having a serious discussion or not, but I'll post this anyway.
First off, climate change is very real. Multiple ice ages, bla bla bla. Man-made climate change is debatable.
The NOAA has a page dedicated to El Nino: http://www.elnino.noaa.gov/
Basically right now conditions are "neutral," neither El Nino or La Nina.
ya not good for mountain biking either but in a month it will be 95 and humid as crap. and then it will be like that every day for 3.5 months. and then people will be complaining that it's too hot but it's not only the heat because it's also humid, and that their AC bills are too high, and their uncle's sorghum is dying and the corn harvest is mumped and it never rains and ben ji can't go fishing because the rivers are too low
The only type of weather that I hate is humidity. Freezing cold, rain, wind, dry heat, snow all fine. I would like to see the future get rid of humidity (Rusty's good thread). I don't bitch about it (other than right now), but it does make me very surly. I will just let it absolutely ruin my mood. crap my pants about it every time.
ben ji, why do you need so many fish?

Most ridiculous thing I've ever read. The only people that don't like wind are people with weak muscles that get all pushed around and picked on by it. Definitely not something I can relate to there.

But you could probably go either way, like "if it snows I'll get to use my new snow blower, but if not it will be easier to get around, so there are definite advantages to both and it really depends on the situation."
i hate snow and living in the midwest equally which one worse though, if had a check for $10M on the line? i would prob choose hateing snow more.

Last year we drove right through the storm in the middle of the night and I was scared shitless sitting in the backseat. Whiteout conditions going 15 MPH on I-70 from Hays to Colby following faint tire tracks in the snow. We made it through KS and crashed at some hotel in Burlington before they closed I-70 tho.
Then on the way back there was another dumbass storm when we were getting in town. :shakesfist:

Hit some black ice on the 435 access road to the nall/roe exits on the way home. Was going about 40 and would just slide when I hit the brakes, there were a couple of cars about 30 yards in front of me that I was convinced I would slide into, one was in the process of fishtailing. Resisted the urge to jam on the brakes like an idiot, kept moving forward and planned to rub into the guard rail if need be...Ended up being able to brake in time but wow, WHAT A RUSH.
I'll give that a try next time, thanks.
I just don't get Summer haters/winter lovers. I never will. But to each his own.

Just received word from snowremovalcat, friend of Limestone and mine. He company thinks that everywhere in KC is guaranteed to get 8", with another inch on Wednesday. They pay for some pretty pricey forecast subscription services, and typically end up being more accurate than the TV guys.
Supposed to start around 4 am in west KC, moving east. Will probably cancel KC area schools on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

It's picked up a bit in KC, but not too much more than it was at around 8am, and we have maybe an inch down. It's going to have to pick up speed or we aren't going to hit the 8" by 5pm (when they said it would taper off).
Based on the current rate of snow, I am predicting 4" by 5pm in KC, who knows after that.
Today will be a cluster eff for me. All the idiots who have crap out kids will call in today because Wichita closed all the schools about 18 to early.This. 3 of my co-workers called in, leaving me to pick up their slack. 2 have stay at home wives.

He's even more :opcat: now that you've left...took him the handle that I broke last year and he said that the house to the east of the entrance had lights professionally hung that made it the "jew house" of the neighborhood since they apparently have too much money to hang them by themselves. Keep in mind that this was before Xmas this year.

The first few games you play your kids, don't play very well at all. Win by 21-18 type scores. Then, after about 10 games like that, let one of them get out to a 17-5 lead and bet them some sort of chores or something that they hate. Then just SMASH THEIR FACES!

I will probably get so good this weekend that I will just start playing ppl I don't know with my left then have a total Inigo Montoya moment if they start winning, then finish by dominating their faces off.

Then i'm a big fat wackyluke.How has this not been discussed yet?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXZsqwHO_5w&feature=youtu.be
What if it has?
As you can see, we have a pretty large 6 to 10 inch snowfall forecast for the KC metro area. There will likely be a 50 mile wide band, or even tighter, perhaps a 25 mile wide band that ends up with the highest totals that could approach a foot or more. It is very rare for our area to have significant snow on radar and also have temperatures in the single digits. This may happen early Sunday morning which would increase the accumulations.
crap
So what happened? Were we really wrong in the forecast? We should look into this a bit deeper and I am going to do this in tomorrow’s blog. I first would like to see how this last band of snow moves through and how much we will get. It almost baffles the meteorological mind that sleet has continued to fall as of 10 AM with temperatures this cold. I will hold off on the explanation and discussion until tomorrow morning.

There is a contingency plan to be indoors, but as of last night the groom said it was 50/50 that we'd still be outside. In their defense, the last 4 years the high on Nov. 15 has been 62, 56, 56, 57.

I like how @nwstopeka probably got a crap ton of crap and the only way they can fire back is to reiterate that travel conditions will still be less than ideal and then exclamation mark their proclamation.

It's been quite a storm to forecast...that's for sure! While roads were plenty slick and ice caused power outages in east central KS, in the end we'll end up with a "BEST CASE SCENARIO" of sorts. This is good news as most of the weather models were forecasting more than a foot of snow for parts of the area (some as much as 18"!). Even while we at the NWS were forecasting much lower than those models, a shift in the storm track and more dry air in the upper levels really ate up the snow totals. It's interesting how such small details can make such a huge difference...especially with snow!

Like 4-6 inches of sleet in Chicago with 35 degree weather so the whole god damn city is a slush puddleI made it all day without stepping in water up to my ankles. The moment i get off the bus on my evening commute, boom. 7 or so inches of water on inner lake shore. Apparently the lobby of my apartment building had water going into it yesterday afternoon. It could be worse, of course, but yesterday was nasty weather.
Pro tip: If you're going to the Liberty Bowl, be careful of Pig Aggie perverts. They'll approach our sweet young ladies and say something like "tickle your ass with a feather?", but when asked to repeat what they just said, they respond with "We're in for more nasty weather!". :DLike 4-6 inches of sleet in Chicago with 35 degree weather so the whole god damn city is a slush puddleI made it all day without stepping in water up to my ankles.

We have beer, wine, and liquor. I might need to make a mixers run tonight. Good call. Otherwise, unless the power goes out, we are set for two days of not being able to get around. If the power goes out we have bottled water, stuff to make sandwiches, chips, annnd I think some cookies.

Bring every laptop you can find, charge batteries to 100%, leave them off and fully charged until the power goes out. Then turn on, dim screen to as dim as it goes, and then LOL with buds at movies.

it's even getting pud up here. supposed to just get 10" now. the bad part about it is the timing though. It's not supposed to stop until super late in the night on tuesday. I don't mind shovelling/snow blowing my drive and walk and junk. But I hate doing it in the morning before I go to the office. I want to do it in the late afternoon like a normal human being not 4AM like some kind of psychopath.

They cancelled school today in KC and it's fine outside. Freaking snowflakes. :Ugh:
I've never talked to them
Last night the Coffeyville School district posted on FB that as of then school for Friday was not cancelled and they would be driving the roads at 3am-6am and then make a decision; however if students didn't go it would be an excused absence. Then there are a bunch of whiny comments. :lol:post the whiny comments woman!
Then they cancelled this morning.
(xpost with FB hometown thread.)

post the whiny comments woman!
I hate when they wait till last min to make a decision thank God my child is older but when he was younger you had to try and make child care arrangements at 6 in the morning tried making them the night before but then if there was school then you got people ready for them for no reason
Knock it off Satan aren't there a ton of snow days allotted for this? It's Friday the 13th with a national newsworthy massive ice blizzard coming in. You must have walked to school barefoot in the snow uphill both ways with my grandpa
really i remember last yr when i took my son home 30 mins early because they were calling for severe thunderstorms my son was given 2- 1 hour detentions saying this was not an excused absent that my child is to be in school if school had not been canceled by usd 445.
As a teacher, I hate that the parents are told we having school, but if you want keep your kids at home. That just means half-filled classrooms causing a whole different set of problems.

Transforming a crawlspace into a Michigan basement seems to have been popular in the roaring twenties, when credit was easy and the American family needed extra room for storage of the junk they began to accumulate.

DFW facing 8 days of the most significant winter weather it has seen since the Super Bowl at Jerryworld 10 years ago. 4+ days without getting above freezing and mix in some winter precip and baby we got a delicious winter smoothie. My body is ready.:kstategrad:
As a selfish note, this is a potential huge revenue driver for my pool business. Pools do not get winterized here for the most part. “Freeze protection” is a thermostat kicking pumps on to make sure they are circulating water to prevent freezing and the damage that occurs when that happens.
For the most part, freeze protection generally kicks on about 10 times a year in the middle of the night or day for a handful of hours. But 4+ days straight, all I am seeing is $$$.
Any sort of leak at the equipment pad already is going to cause problems as equipment can freeze from the outside inward at these temps for this duration, even while running. Mix in potentially some winter precip and power outages and all hell can break lose. A really cold hell, but still.

That really sucks, but you should also direct your anger at Texas being Texas and deciding that having their own grid for the sake of being Texas was/is a bad idea.

Yes, it really sets us up for failure when there is a winter storm warning covering the entire state for the first time ever occurs...
Maybe we will be better prepared when the 2nd time ever occurs!

I mean like whatever man. Like I have any control over how the state does its electricity.And the rolling blackouts have begun. House temp dropped 8 degrees in 25 minutes in spite of having all new exterior walls and attic insulation.
It was fun until this crap started and now I am out.
That really sucks, but you should also direct your anger at Texas being Texas and deciding that having their own grid for the sake of being Texas was/is a bad idea.
Yes, it really sets us up for failure when there is a winter storm warning covering the entire state for the first time ever occurs...
Maybe we will be better prepared when the 2nd time ever occurs!
Not the first time you've had rolling blackouts (been about a decade) but you all do you
I had people cancelling their appointments for this week last Thursday and Friday. I just imagined they saw those wrecks and said "nope".That, or the whole no power thing...Wtf.

Unless they are bringing tons of additional capacity online, I don't see an easy way out of this for Texans. As soon as the power comes back, heaters will be running like crazy in people's 40 degree homes...I'm supposed to fly in tomorrow
have avoided any frozen pipes so far, but tonight will be the real test. i've never heard of negative double digits in kc in all my life
Is the Midwest in for some pretty nasty floods when we finally start thawing out?
We were supposed to get 12-20 inches today. I am ready with my snow shovel. So far, very little snow. Total bullshit.Heh. Your back will be sore in the morning. Second round just started in Louisville.
Luckily the pipes that would be a problem this time broke like 2 or 3 years ago when we had an extended 0ish time period. Got them fixed and added some electric pipe heaters that kick on automatically. Seems to be holding up.
Sounds like they will be implementing rolling blackouts. Anyone experiencing this yet?

Yes, the entire Alma metroplex was without power for a little while but came back on around 1:25. Per my inside source Evergy is shutting off power every 8 hours for 30 minutes at a time.
some people that live near me have lost power :ohno:

that's pretty ridiculous. you would think that wolf creek nuclear plant could just add more electrons to the wires and have enough energy for every kansan who wants it. is this just another example of evergy being cheap again?

I rent, so the landlord did it, but basically something like this.
He built the laundry room literally on the back deck, so these pipes just have some batt insulation between them and the outside world. I don't know if you'd want to put these in the wall.

Weird, I had heard rolling blackouts were a Texas issue. Guess we have company.Our power co has plenty of juice but says we’re part of some big regional multi state thing and may have to do blackouts to support you downgrades who can’t handle the cold. So thanks a lot.

Oh interesting, was wondering why some of parts of the midwest (that actually get cold af on the reg) would have to do them.
Is the Midwest in for some pretty nasty floods when we finally start thawing out?
I've done v little research, but i don't think the snowpack has been that ridiculous this year. As long as it doesn't get extremely warm quickly, i think it will be an average year.
Power out again, at 8:30 on the dot. Grumblings that it might last an hour instead of 30 minutes.

Not huffy at all. I was told Texas was having blackouts because Texas.
Apparently Kansas is having blackouts because Kansas.
I'm that thankful Kentucky is in a different power network. Heat pump going hard though.
Interesting to nerd dive into the central plains energy mess. Hopefully, natural gas utilities will add some delivery capacity to the NG plants after this. My buddy's plant was only able to run at 50ish% capacity. If they went higher, they would've sucked down the city pressure and fubar'd the residential network.

Curious do you know if the natty gas issues are related to equipment failures or it's just that cold and the equipment doesn't get to the same pressures and you get less mass flow or residential heating is using that much more (or all of it)?

Why choose which one? You can't do rolling blackouts with NG. Much easier to flip the electrical supply. If ng drops, it doesn't get sent down the pipe until every home supply is pressure tested individually. Nightmare scenario if powerplants tripped the ng supply.I'm that thankful Kentucky is in a different power network. Heat pump going hard though.

In a nutshell: 1/3 of the country was hit with cold it's not used to, all more or less at the same time, most heat comes from gas, not the grid, so either you shut off power plants that run off natural gas, or shut off natural gases to houses, one is way easier to do...
Nat Gas company charged a penalty of $1.1 million for four hours of normal usage for a manufacturing facility in Kansas Monday morning. Usually, bill runs 70k/week. You would think these things would have been worked out or at least communicated when this event had been in forecast for weeks.Yeah, that SPP one is who our power co mentioned we’d be letting suckle at the Omaha Public Power teet

Apples and oranges in scale.
And in case anyone was wondering, KY and KS are connected, all of the Eastern US, and a ton of Canada connected together.
And all of Western US connected together.
Not connected: Eastern US, Western US, and Texas,
Hence why Texas has 4 mill out, KS after dealing with this for 2 weeks decides "well we'll occasionally have outages every so often and not for everyone and only for like 3 hours a day for some people" Texas after it's exhausted all it's resources after 2 days: welp that's it isn't it but the power for emergency sources". That's the difference. That and natural gas for everyone (lol) is just poof, CO2 right now. And here I was told fossil fuels were the reliable ones.
Resiliency and grid reliability comes in numbers (for the most part).
And I was not trying to pick on you obv, you can't do anything about it, it's just really funny (to me) to have "we can do this on our own we're our own goddamn country" Texas brought to it's knees over a little cold in 48 hours time.
And that's with all the oil a Texan can shake at. At least it took KS 2 weeks to succumb to (occasionally) having to have (some) people go out (for 30-60 minutes). And most of that succumbing is due to Texas falling down at it's fat face sucking all the natural gas for itself as it huddles for warmth around the burnt out embers of it's pride cause it can't handle it.
Hope you and your family are staying safe AST. This has moved from inconvenience to perilous really quickly for Texans. To your point I think ERCOT will have to change coming out of this.
This is a really bad situation. Real thoughts and prayers to folks in the great state of Texas.Hope you and your family are staying safe AST. This has moved from inconvenience to perilous really quickly for Texans. To your point I think ERCOT will have to change coming out of this.
Thank you, we are. We had 4 x 1 hour power outages, 2 x 5 hour, 1 x 12 hour. Power was only on for 1-2 hours between each of those instances. We have had power back on for 18 hours now without interruption which is fantastic.
Fortunately we converted our gas fireplace to wood when we bought our house 7 years ago so our tv room, adjacent to kitchen, has been manageable through the blackouts so long as I fueled it every 30 minutes. That made for some major sleep deprivation for me but kept my wife and boy warm and sleeping. We also have a gas wall heater in our bathroom which helped.
My brother and parents in the Hill Country are not as lucky. They have been without power for 4 & 3 days. Not ERCOT related. Ice storm and they just received another round of ice overnight.
what if you lose gas service?
Srs, I am buying a generator because of this debacle & the only thing to decide is if it is gas operated/moveable or natural gas/permanent. My leaning is gas operated.

For a little more context, the heating design day temperature in Kansas City is -1, in San Antonio it’s 26, Dallas 17. Equipment generally has some safety built in, so you can go below that for a little while, but at some point you won’t be able to keep up. Also, the building codes require less insulation in southern climates because you don’t have the extreme cold temperatures, so houses can lose heat more quickly when they get outside the bounds of the design conditions. These relative temperatures are more important than absolutes when considering the impact on the infrastructure as a whole.
Those are design conditions for HVAC equipment, which would apply to the HVAC in an industrial setting, but I don’t know what other equipment would be designed for.For a little more context, the heating design day temperature in Kansas City is -1, in San Antonio it’s 26, Dallas 17.

i assume those temps are from the commercial building code? do they apply to industrial buildings?
Sorry if I missed it, but would "being part of the federal system" (sorry if this is phrased incorrectly) have done anything to help prevent Texas' situation? I see people referencing that, but I'm unclear how that figures into it exactly.

My understanding is the biggest failure is/was energy providers failing to act on recommendations to better weatherproof power facilities after the last major blackout event 10 years ago. Because that was all it was, a recommendation without any weight behind it and the energy producers passed as it was “too costly.”
Then, ERCOT failed to order additional available power online 2 weeks ago when the forecast became abundantly clear. Those supplies were down for maintenance but could have been brought up in time. Their refusal to respond to why it was not done has led to mass speculation of a cash grab for certain groups.
For the most part, sensors freezing leading to generator failure and an unknown ability/desire to ramp back up production, which was possible, to meet a very clear increased demand.
And to be clear, the generator failures occurred across all generator fields. Nuclear, coal, natural gas, and wind turbine.
So if being part of federal oversight could have insured that weatherized recommendations were met as well as ensured forecasted power demands were met, it could have made a huge difference.
But I am not an expert in the field so I have no idea.

Nothing will change in Texas.
Nothing will change in Texas.
Nothing will change in Texas.
It will but it will be slow. Despite some people claiming the contrary, the only insulation for outages in this event were either proximity to critical infrastructure and/or hospitals or having a generator. Some of the richest zip codes in the metroplex were without power for greater than 50% of the time and shouldered a huge load of the energy bleed off.
Texas is not the same Texas it was 10 years ago. More influx of out-of-staters is slowly changing the atmosphere. Those people losing power are not the same crop of people as before. These neighborhoods are now full of transplants whose politics align differently. Doing without power in order for cronies to make a buck is no longer in the interest of people as the neighborhoods are now getting filled with CEOs and executives whose businesses have relocated for the business climate.

Roughly the same number as or more people were out of power in Texas than the entire population of Kansas. Maybe that brings to light the scale difference in how many people the Texas grid is providing power too. To go even further, it looks like ERCOT services most likely twice as many people as SPP.
The infrastructure and houses are not built with this cold of weather in consideration. Why? Because historically there is not a need for it. So when this type of event happens, there becomes way more demand per person/household than our northern counterparts.
This is in no way a post white-knighting ERCOT and it is becoming pretty apparent as this event unfolds they are a mumped ip group. Several of its board members do not even live in Texas. So this does not appear to be a Texas only mindset as has been implied heavily. The chair and vice-chair live in Michigan and Germany so this is apparently not Texas only thinking.
For the record, going off of the little information that is available on their actions at this point, I hope that ERCOT is severely overhauled or even dismantled after the investigation into this event.

Hence why Texas has 4 mill out, KS after dealing with this for 2 weeks decides "well we'll occasionally have outages every so often and not for everyone and only for like 3 hours a day for some people" Texas after it's exhausted all it's resources after 2 days: welp that's it isn't it but the power for emergency sources". That's the difference. That and natural gas for everyone (lol) is just poof, CO2 right now. And here I was told fossil fuels were the reliable ones.
Resiliency and grid reliability comes in numbers (for the most part).
And I was not trying to pick on you obv, you can't do anything about it, it's just really funny (to me) to have "we can do this on our own we're our own goddamn country" Texas brought to it's knees over a little cold in 48 hours time.
And that's with all the oil a Texan can shake at. At least it took KS 2 weeks to succumb to (occasionally) having to have (some) people go out (for 30-60 minutes). And most of that succumbing is due to Texas falling down at it's fat face sucking all the natural gas for itself as it huddles for warmth around the burnt out embers of it's pride cause it can't handle it.
I am glad you talked about apples & oranges in scale. It is a great point.
Roughly the same number as or more people were out of power in Texas than the entire population of Kansas. Maybe that brings to light the scale difference in how many people the Texas grid is providing power too. To go even further, it looks like ERCOT services most likely twice as many people as SPP.
The infrastructure and houses are not built with this cold of weather in consideration. Why? Because historically there is not a need for it. So when this type of event happens, there becomes way more demand per person/household than our northern counterparts.
This is in no way a post white-knighting ERCOT and it is becoming pretty apparent as this event unfolds they are a mumped ip group. Several of its board members do not even live in Texas. So this does not appear to be a Texas only mindset as has been implied heavily. The chair and vice-chair live in Michigan and Germany so this is apparently not Texas only thinking.
For the record, going off of the little information that is available on their actions at this point, I hope that ERCOT is severely overhauled or even dismantled after the investigation into this event.
But to say you are comparing apples to apples in referring to the blackout in Kansas and Texas is just as disingenuous on your end.
All of your post is fair, the bold is really the crux of my issues of the "Texas being Texas." They decided to create their own grid, on their own, and play by their own rules. It is well and good, but, and as unfortunate as you all have to live with said consequences, you are seeing that. I get CEOs and others can live wherever to do whatever, but Texas still decided to go in it alone. And you are right, they should be investigated and dismantled for thinking they knew what they were doing. After all, it birthed the ability for companies like Enron to go around and selectively blackout people because of economics, instead of thinking of the welfare of their compatriots.
Where did Texas touch you? Show it to us on a doll. We won’t tell.
What's the lowdown on crazy rate hikes, I guess more specific to TX? Do they (power provider you sign a contract with) keep most of that or is it shoveled out to another provider due to a contract they have and are using to get ya the juice?

are they actually raising rates on retail customers? i thought the pricing increase talk i was seeing was about wholesale pricing.
Those are indeed wholesale prices, and most customers are on fixed rate contracts that won't see immediate large jumps.
However, there is at least one company in TX that charges individual consumers a flat fee to get access to wholesale electricity prices. That company began telling individuals to find another provider last week. This week, bills for their customers were in the several hundreds to a few thousand dollars per day.
What if, and I’m just spitballing here, the surging prices were related to a macroeconomic concept known as supply and demand.

The mistake in this case was a colossal one, but the solution seems incredibly simple.

My deepest apologies but it is really hard to separate your disdain with Texas from what I have and am experiencing at this moment. Maybe it is a timing issue. Maybe it is full tone can not be determined over the internet issue.
Kicking “Texas” while it is down feels really a lot like kicking its residents while it is down. Event if we do jot agree with the whole “Texas” mindset.
Sorry I got sideways but the whole conversation started when I was cold and my nerves were quite literally raw while trying to ratio firewood by candlelight without electricity while keeping my wife and baby warm with -15 windchills in a house not built for winter.

It’s not being on its own grid that caused the problem here (although obviously being on a larger grid would have helped). It’s the fact that each producer was pretty much left to their best judgment as far as what was needed to survive harsh conditions, and (as private businesses tend to do) many balanced preparedness with profit.
Crapping on Texans for reaping what they sow is p dumb bc there are only a handful of ppl who truly profit from the Texas setup and I sure you it is not any of the bloggers on this site. It's not an issue that comes up in election years. In fact I would go so fast as to say the vast majority of Texans probably had no idea what ERCOT was until this week, and in fairness they haven't really needed to. Having reliable power just really hasn't been a thing to worry about in Texas, until now.
What I think could be interesting is what happens with the insurance companies. Like it's one thing is you lose power because an iced over tree breach falls on your power line or some other force majeure, but when Centerpoint says ok we're cutting power to these ppl for 36 hours so that Joel Osteen and the rest of River Oaks don't even lose power for a minute... And then your pipes burst...bc the electric company choose to cut your power and leave it off for so long as to cause damage...I dunno. Could get interesting. Or maybe it won't.

there's a bit of moral hazard to bailing these customers out completely, but i can't see letting them get stuck with the whole bill. same goes for the power companies that couldn't pass the wholesale rates down.
not sure if it's possible to claw some money back from the nat gas suppliers, but should try.

To me this does not make much sense. Who cares of they are from out-of-state. ERCOT does not even make the policy or enforce the policy that led to this event. It is the legislature and Public Utility Commission of Texas that sets the agenda. ERCOT only manages the flow of available electricity and can only make suggestions.

It's only for like 3 days this time, so they should be good, that being said, hopefully they got a lot of propane tanks to thaw crap out this time. I'm sure the eyes of Texas are on ERCOT this week

ERCOT is claiming they have done a bunch of upgrades since the 2021 calamity and are not worried about having to intentionally cut power for several days to regular honest tax paying texas residents in order to ensure that national treasure joel osteen can keep all 17,000 square feet of his home nice and toasty without any of his backup generators having to kick on at any point.
I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of power lines just happen to go down (in the middle of the night when nobody is looking) throughout large areas of major population centers, you know, b/c the storms will do that sometimes.

Free market electric power is fun isn't it?
In the bleak midwinterthis month of endless night
Winter weather on the horizon and Christmas this weekend I'm sure the grocery store will be a ton of funI have a friend who manages a local grocery store. He confirmed that it was crazy yesterday due to the two factors you mention above. Big run on bread and milk.
Opened the door to let my dog outside and she sat down and looked at me like I'm an idiot
Barely even needed a jacket this morning.

I’m kidding I’m back home for Christmas and I hate it.Barely even needed a jacket this morning.
Damn how far south did you go?
it's rough ridin' cold outside (in kansas). stay safe out there, cows.
Most of them unexpectedly died this past summer. They should be fine.
I’ve been heating my whole house with just my fireplace last night and today. It (fireplace) is the only really nice thing about my house and I love it so so much. ??

It’s wood burning fireplace and forced air or something. So I start a fire and then flick a little light switch next to it and then operate the strength of the fan with a twisty knob. I don’t even have this thing full on and it’s heating my entire house. Currently 69 ( ;) ) in the living room/kitchen area. I had it up to 70 earlier today but my heat hating wife made me turn the blower off for a few hours. I love it so much.
You burning hedge in that thing Rick?

Thinking about how people heated homes of various sizes and qualities before gas and electrical heat is pretty interesting.Love to burn coal in my home to heat and cook with!

Here’s the thing Rick, if you cut your own wood it’ll warm you twice.You burning hedge in that thing Rick?
Don’t I wish! I think it’s mostly oak and walnut. It’s also just a regular looking fireplace built into the wall not a wood burning stove or anything. Buy it by the truckload from different friendly pott county residents.
my dog starts doing the 3 legged shuffle after about 45 seconds of outside time
deposits are getting closer and closer to the garage i stand in when taking her “out” - we will both be okay with pooping on the garage floor by this eveningmy dog starts doing the 3 legged shuffle after about 45 seconds of outside time
yeah, ours procrastinated too long last night and couldn't poop due to regret. Was expecting to find a big bow-wrapped turd on our floor this morning. But she held until letting her out this morning.

is it true that an abnormally wet winter in CA means more potential for wildfires the following summer (due to excess foliage growth that can later be fire fuel)?
california is grateful to finally be getting some weather worth blogging about.

No, water is bad for fire. Basically just puts it right out in my experience.

👀📷 Check out this awesome picture of the Phantom Falls in the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve north of Oroville, CA! All the rain over the last week has led to these normally dry creeks becoming waterfalls. #CAwx

Good, could still use more, or at least specifically it slipping past in NV/UT/CO so lake mead can heal a bit.
There was a lot of black ice in joco this morning.
Predicted snow totals were way off on the southern end of the storm. woofDeathstorm was a huge nothingburger here. We got like 10% of the predicted snowfall.
we're back baby.
alfalfa isn't grown much around here.
:White flag:
ok, it's too much now (and the snow hasn't really even started to melt yet).

Are any of the storms getting through to the CO river basin to fill up the dams along the river?

Very telling there isn't a summer death storm thread, though
Still no power in PV

I can confirm that 3 days without power is worse in the summer than winter
Got power back at 630 last night. PRAISE BE
(It did provide a great excuse to clean out my fridge/freezer and throw out all the random condiments that have accumulated over the years)
How is the death storm shaping up where you are, fellow gE'rs? Already have a nice inch on the ground here in Smallville. Hoping that it continues.
First I was worried about snow when I'm driving home from the game. The forecast changed and I was worried on snow driving to the game. Happy to see that we settled on snow driving both to and from the game.
it’s starting to rainHopefully you already have your milk and bread. Just saw two Karen's brawling in a Hy-Vee parking lot over a shopping cart, probably looks like mad max inside.
it’s starting to rain0.44" of rain here so far. Starting to see some big snowflakes but they are still melting as they fall.
x-post midwesterners thread. Mrs SSOC said it was a madhouse at the grocery store yesterday. No bananas or pasta to be found anywhere.it’s starting to rainHopefully you already have your milk and bread.

The same western ks where I70 is closed from Hays to Colorado?
Got about a foot of accumulation in south joco this morning. Probably the most snow I've seen come down in a decade.
Texas is going to eff up the natty gas supply again aren't they
