Absolute chit show y'all! What a mess!

Records shattered...

Now I am going to sound like a yankee. Yea folks in Texas have ni idea what to do in snow storm. Dad was out there in 1978 and said they had 1/2" and cars where wrecked everywhere.


Now Chris probably ok since not born in Texas.

Here in NC its not lot better,then we normally have ice in our mess. Plus people get so uypset when you are driving side ways down the road. Good news you can go thru intersection with a cop sitting there sideways and he never moves to come after you or so I heard.LMAO

Ice coming tonight and tomorrow. People going nuts getting stuff.

Y’all have Icenados up north when it’s cold? We had 2 the one below and another on Eufaula lake closer to me.

They're going to have to quit blaming fracking now.

If I'm not mistaken, the supposed cause in Okla. was saltwater injection. Which is a sort of fracking when they inject it under pressure, in unconsolidated formations, and break the formation down to accept more volume. To what ever degree they are producing then they're going to have X amount of saltwater to dispose of.

$19,000,000,000.00 of Texans hard earned cash spent on the greenie wienies RENEWABLE ENERGY NIGHTMARE since 2006!
If even a portion of this had been spent sensibly Texans would have rode out this event in nice warm homes.
Now the Governor says the legislator "may look" at the program?
Boot his ass and put the Lieutenant governor in charge!!!!!

Finally .Looks like and dry week a head. Have been waiting two weeks to set truss' on house we are trying to build. Seems everything I do depends on weather. Making money and what I spend it on, race car and hunting.

So after all the bad weather in Texas all week today the snow is gone and it was 70 something degrees........

Don't know to what extent the following is true or not. The good news is maybe the libs that voted for Biden live in big cities and hopefully they were the hardest hit... like Austin.


"From a Texan Friend:
You think you know who’s to blame - guess again
Posted from a friend:
Who is to blame?
Looks like ERCOT is not to blame like we thought. Thanks again Biden No wonder you haven’t shown your face And for those of us in the LONE STAR STATE.....
Joe Biden’s Dept. of Energy Blocked Texas from Increasing Power Ahead of Killer Storm
A week before, Texas begged for help and asked for DOE to lift federal regulations barring state's energy.
An Emergency Order from the Biden administration’s Department of Energy shows Texas energy grid operator ERCOT was instructed to stay within green energy standards by purchasing energy from outside the state at a higher cost, throttling power output throughout the state ahead of a catastrophic polar vortex.
Going into effect Sunday, Feb. 14, Emergency Order 202-21-1 shows the Energy Dept. was aware of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s statewide disaster declaration and that ERCOT was readying gas utilities in preparation for a demand surge.
The order shows Acting Energy Secretary David Huizenga did not waive environmental restrictions to allow for maximum energy output, instead ordering ERCOT to utilize all resources in order to stay within acceptable emissions standards – including purchasing energy from outside the state.
Moreover, the order instructed an “incremental amount of restricted capacity” to be sold to ERCOT at “a price no lower than $1,500/MWh,” an increase of over 6,000 percent over February 2020 prices of $18.20.
On Wednesday, the Dallas Business Journal reported, “Electricity on the Texas grid has averaged about $1,137.33 per megawatt hour so far in February, up from $18.20 per megawatt hour in February 2020, according to data from the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas. That’s a jump of more than 6,000 percent.”
Days later, the Public Utility Commission of Texas set prices at $9,000/MWh.
The EO shows the Biden administration basically ordered ERCOT to throttle its energy output by forcing it to comply with environmental green energy standards, while knowing full well Texans could freeze to death in their homes with zero electricity as temperatures plunged into the single digits."

We should be 70 tomorrow and I am ready.

Canted you can expect more of this. As long as it only affects none of them in the pocket. I hope those LIBs that voted them in enjoy the ride.

The problem is NONE of this will see publication in the FAKE NEWS so the indoctrinated clueless lefties will never discover that the hiden biden regime was responsible for their suffering!!!!!

88° difference from when I left home for work last Tuesday to when I will get off today. Welcome to Oklahoma. LOL

Glad you all are getting back to normal... Yes Mother Nature is not happy about the election either..

In the teens here couple of days ago 73 today

82 during the day and 38 at night. It might have been colder because there was ice on my trucks windshield at 5:30 AM. I can't fathom 9 degrees, the inside of my freezer is warmer.
