The good news is this shouldnt be as cold and probably not as long lasting either.
Im still getting my head around some details though, as the Nor'easter has been my focus last couple of days.

The issue wasn’t the power plants themselves. It was the natural gas wellheads freezing up.
But it’s a moot point. While it’s getting super cold, it’s not the cold soak of last year if days at a time.

Seems there were several issues, a big one relating to them using solar panels to power the natural gas supply mains. Seems after a week of snow and ice the batteries were no longer charged and WTH the valves couldn't be opened or closed. Cool right?

And where they had power available, the grid couldn’t support all of electric heaters (homes without gas) all turning on and overloading the system.
DR Horton and DSLD are known to save money by not including gas in some of their new neighborhoods.
We have run into that problem in a few locations in Louisiana where we had to upgrade OH lines and overcurrent protection.
