my hr dept figured out that they'd save some people some time and moved prez day to mt luther king day, simply because it aligns with school vacations better (most people who are going to take the week of prez off are going to do it regardless)

Ash Wednesday. It's too bad Mardi Gras was cancelled. Nobody has anything to confess.

Scary driving into work this morning. Thick and icy fog, could barely see 10 feet in front of me it was so thick.

We're fine. Longest outage was about 14hrs. I hooked my generup and ran it for a hour every 4hrs to run well, deep freeze and fridge. Cooked on my wood grill and propane burners. Kept a fire going in fireplace. Might buy a good propane indoor heater for next time. I'm set up to handle extended power outages due to hurricanes. Heating isn't usually a worry, haha. I know others are worse off, and I feel for them. Sad part is it didn't have to be like this. Its a failure of the power regulating body, not the grid so much. Iirc, around 35% of Texas grid is from renewable sources (windmills, solar) these obviously failed, and due to gas plants being shutdown, the remaining gas plants can't produce enough.
