We bottomed at -2 degrees, with 25 mph winds and a wind chill below -20 degrees. Heat wave today, a 2:50 PM we raged to 18 degrees.

Wish I had fossil fuels heating the house. "All electric" I have learned does not mean all the time.
And OMG go green folks that support all electric, what do you put by your home to prepare for electric power outages, equipment failures, and rolling blakouts? Well OMG, a propane powered or gas powered generator so your GO-GREEN all electrci house has power.

I fiugerd out the strategy. We reduce demand on the power grid by having selected electric customers freeze to death, there by lowering customer demand.

Glad you came thru it okay.

another note. Temps here dropped 45 degrees, and with windchill up to 60-65 degrees.

My F150 tires normally are set at 35 psi. In the midst of it, tire pressure light came on and tires whenchecked were at 24 psi each/all 4 that way.

Found out on tire makers sites, 10 deegrees temperaure drop can drop tires air pressure 1-2 lbs.

Check your tires guys!

And today the temps went back up to 55 degrees, so from the -2 low point, a 57 degree rise, whcih could push tires we inflated back up to normal in the cold weather, way over the top. Jeeeeeeezzzzz.

Well global warming continues. no ice up north when normally we had ice rinks in our yards before christmas. Not even the lakes are close to frozen.

But you know, there are still people who deny it

Weather has been extreme. Storms in recent memory do seem worse. And ya know, I do understand how if the earth warms or cools even slightly weather patterns change. I just can’t sort out what “ is” the norm, since this has been going on for millions of years cyclicly.

As in kid in Pa, I remember odd summers in the 100’s in the 1960’s. And I also recall droughts, or extreme rains, 4 foot snow falls, and some winters where worst we got all year was 6-8 inches.

This earth I think will perpetually evolve. I think mankind has too also. Say in the next 20 years California gets no rain and Arizona gets 5 times more rain. Farming drops in CA and Moves to AZ. CA is a dessert and AZ becomes a green state. Gain and loss, adapt and overcome.

So buy as much KY land as possible, cause when we become ocean front it’s gonna be valuable.

And to be safe buy season tickets to the ark in Williamstown, Kentucky. PS Their website says it’s closed now. Does that mean they are expecting rain?

I hate these cop out responses that shuck responsibility from the people actually damaging the planet, like this one.

Its either very hopeless or naive or showing a lack of accountability, all are sad.

Wow, I guess me and my hybrid car are supposed to be offended at this point. You did strip the gas burning motor of your baot and out of your car didn't you? Want ta borrow some wrenches and a lift to do that, or are you just gonna keep yelling and playing eco-victim?

Estimnate now is air aint the problem , but plastic which may by 2050 be more present in the ocean that fish.

[Buzzy]

If you support “drill baby drill” or think there is a war on coal then that is what I’m talking about.

plastic is definitely a major problem as well.

“Eco-victim” is hilarious considering you’ll be dead and gone not having to deal with your generations cavalier attitude towards destroying the earth.

you guys certainly know how to shed responsibility while saying you’re the last generation who knew how to do things.

I’ll support any economically sound, well thought out, sustainable, plan that cleans up the environment and provides viable energy that is truly dependable and capable of handling all the surge capacity needed to provide sufficient energy to sustain life under the worst conditions.

My friend we ain’t there, and current approach is being well demonstrated in France where energy cost have driven the price of life sustaining goods up to the point people have to choose between eating and heating.

So if you want to go broke, and starve to death while in a cold dark house wearing your AOC t-shirt have at it.
