That’s warm to you?!?

I'm in North fort Worth and It's 7 degrees out right now and feels like -12. Snowing like mad. Tomorrow is supposed to be even colder. This is insane.

Oh boy...looks like we already lost power from Entergy here at the station. Fortunately we've got a generator. A little worrisome to lose power this early in the event.

Power outages all around us but we still have power. Fingers crossed!

Still just sleet in Shreveport. No big snow accumulation like they predicted, not yet anyway. I'm at work and thought I'd be driving home with about 6" on the road, instead I'll have sleet covered roads. The Barksdale bubble doing work.

I’ve heard three transformers buzzing out here already. Two somewhere west of me and one to the east. BR will be a shite show tomorrow morning.

Our transformer blows when it’s 75 and sunny so I’m not surprised ours went before we got anything more than rain. Entergy sucks.

My thermostat is on 60. So, yes, 69 is very warm.

Tripped a breaker, so I had to trudge out in the 19 degree sleetstorm to flip it on. Patio is solid ice with gritty sleet pellets.

National Weather Service Shreveport LA
240 AM CST Mon Feb 15 2021
.SHORT TERM.../Today through Tuesday/ Ongoing winter weather threat continues across the ArkLaTex. Freezing rain threat has ended across much of the region with the exception of possibly portions of north-central Louisiana. Otherwise, a mix and snow and sleet continues from Toledo Bend to near Monroe with all snow across the remainder of the ArkLaTex.
Current radar trends are indicating widespread snow plume across south Texas continuing to increase in coverage and intensity while moving northwest to the ArkLaTex. This will contribute another 2 to 4 inches of snow totals to what has already fallen earlier Sunday evening. High snow rates can be expected. After daybreak, the heavier snow will be moving into north Louisiana and southern Arkansas. Forecast for today is slightly complicated in that models tend to disagree drastically on the timing of when the precip will exit the region. NBM tends to rush the snow out by noon whereas the NAM lags by 6 hours. These differences can cause huge variances in total event snow accumulations. For this forecast package, went ahead and split the difference and adjusted snow and ice totals accordingly.
Looks like Shreveport is still in store for heavy snow on top of the sleet.

You might wanna report that. Anything over
Half an hour probably isn't part of the blackout

Do people that live in Canada just leave their water running full blast 6 months out of the year?
There has to be a better way.

Construction in the North is a hell of alot different than the South.

I’m sure. I lived in Missouri for 11 years and I never left water running when it got cold. There were many time we had 2 inches of ice then 20 inches of snow. Never lost power or had a busted pipe.

A 1/2 hour is pretty unrealistic for rolling blackouts. I’d report if out > 2 hours. There’s a significant amount of switching and verification that has to take place before taking an area down then back up. Plus they have to take the next area down before they can bring the previous area up.
Then the bad part. Every single one of those down have their heaters on. And as soon as it comes back up, heaters go, system overload and pop, back out.
