re: Louisiana Ice Storm Thread *Winter Storm Warning*

Also Texas has problems with actual energy generation and Swepco in north la is in same situation. Entergy probably as well depending on where they source their energy some of their system runs to the arkansas line. Some gas plants have frozen, wind is offline, and solar panels are covered in snow. That equaled with higher loads has equaled rolling outages. Add in ice and tree limbs going down and I don’t see how people can’t comprehend the issues here.

As long as the sun is out it will melt some ice even if it's below freezing. Solar radiation will melt ice even if the temperature won't.

Bro it’s 21 degrees here and we’ve already got stuff melting
