Texas currently has snow again, so expect it's grid to catastrophically fail again because it doesn't have access to the rest of the USA grid.

So expect a bad result again for like the 4 time in 5 year.

Hi from Austin, TX - we have no "abnormal" power outages right now and the tiny bits of snow look kinda cute

Grid is fine, snow is melting, everything is business as usual. CenterPoint had 99.9% deliverability for the past 24 hours, and ERCOT has 14,781 MW in reserve power available (https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/gridconditions). Source: I live in Houston.

I know this was tongue in cheek, but c'mon, we can respect each other, right? :)

I'm doing my best not to, but we can all observe that Donold has made it acceptable for many people

Snow did not cause the outage.
