That is a lot for Texas. Probably will jam up the roads.Not sure I would call that snow.
maybe a few flurries.
Solar is strange. Yesterday morning we overcast and rain. SolarRoof was generating 2-3 KWh.and I'm still making 0.9 - 1.4kw at 9:30 am

Yes, agree. I guess we all have a different definition of what is snow. Up here we don't even have a name for that.Not sure I would call that snow.

I call that is why I have lived in California all my life. I am at 1500 feet. So if I want to visit the snow, I just drive 10 minutes up the hill and reminds me of why I live where I live.Yes, agree.

This is what we call snow
yes, and I lived in California for 35 years and frankly, I love it here a LOT more than in California. Some people like the snow and some don't. We like it Never thought I would say that when I lived down there and would visit here. Auburn... a nice little city. We lived in the bay area.I call that is why I have lived in California all my life. I am at 1500 feet.

Relatives in Austin are complaining about ice and snow. I guess there is a big ice storm coming and weather in the 20s for the next week.With all the talk about how EVs are going to affect the grid, people are forgetting that many with EVs also have solar. At least so far. I think I'm going to look into it this spring.
And yes that is a snowy day here in N Texas. About everything is shut down. We have too few days like this to have snow plows. We also have lots of overpasses that are steep and will be frozen over by now. What is unusual for us this year is it is not sunny and we also have a fair amount of wind.
My backyard. Lived here for 31 years.yes, and I lived in California for 35 years and frankly, I love it here a LOT more than in California. Some people like the snow and some don't.

ha ha ha. That's neatMy backyard. Lived here for 31 years.
Is that state-wide or just in the DFW area?snowing at 2:20 pm and making 2kw... and 13 degrees... burr
i think monday Electric Reliability Council of Texas will not have not enough power, and roving blackouts... will be around 2 to 4 degrees for the next few mornings...

Grid operator requests energy conservation for system reliability
AUSTIN, TX, Feb. 14, 2021 – The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is asking consumers and businesses to reduce their electricity use as much as possible Sunday, Feb. 14 through Tuesday, Feb. 16.
"We are experiencing record-breaking electric demand due to the extreme cold temperatures that have gripped Texas," said ERCOT President and CEO Bill Magness. "At the same time, we are dealing with higher-than-normal generation outages due to frozen wind turbines and limited natural gas supplies available to generating units. We are asking Texans to take some simple, safe steps to lower their energy use during this time."
Here are some tips to reduce electricity use:
Given the prolonged, below-freezing temperatures, conservation measures should be implemented safely and within reason.
- Turn down thermostats to 68-degrees.
- Close shades and blinds to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows.
- Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances.
- Avoid using large appliances (i.e., ovens, washing machines, etc.).
- Businesses should minimize the use of electric lighting and electricity-consuming equipment as much as possible.
- Large consumers of electricity should consider shutting down or reducing non-essential production processes.
ERCOT has the tools and procedures in place to maintain a reliable electric system during tight grid conditions. If power reserves drop too low, ERCOT may need to declare an Energy Emergency Alert, or EEA. Declaring an EEA allows the grid operator to take advantage of additional resources that are only available during scarcity conditions. There are three levels of EEA, and rotating outages are only implemented as a last resort to maintain reliability of the electric system.
