first time in my life that i've seen an ice storm warning

low of 3f friday

if power does go out it will be extremely bad

fuckin yikes

Homes around Salt Lake boast lush, forest-green lawns, despite the drought. And not always by choice.

In the suburb of Bluffdale, when Elie El kessrwany stopped watering his lawn in response to the drought, his homeowners’ association threatened to fine him. “I was trying to do the right thing for my community,” he said.

Robert Spendlove, a Republican state representative, introduced a bill this year that would have blocked communities from requiring homeowners to maintain lawns. He said local governments lobbied against the bill, which failed.

They hosed up the labeling on these maps. They don't show temperatures will be much above average. They show there is a high likelihood temperatures will be above average. Important difference. Idiot weather channel.

Drought conditions create heightened reliability risk for the summer. Drought exists or
threatens wide areas of North America, resulting in unique challenges to area electricity
supplies and potential impacts on demand:

Energy output from hydro generators throughout most of the Western United
States is being affected by widespread drought and below-normal snowpack. Dry
hydrological conditions threaten the availability of hydroelectricity for transfers
throughout the Western Interconnection. Some assessment areas, including WECC’s
California-Mexico (CA/MX) and Southwest Reserve Sharing Group (SRSG), depend on
substantial electricity imports to meet demand on hot summer evenings and other
times when variable energy resource (e.g., wind, solar) output is diminishing. In the
event of wide-area extreme heat event, all U.S. assessment areas in the Western
Interconnection are at risk of energy emergencies due to the limited supply of
electricity available for transfer.

Extreme drought across much of Texas can produce weather conditions that are
favorable to prolonged, wide-area heat events and extreme peak electricity
demand. Resource additions to the ERCOT system in recent years—predominantly
solar and some wind—have raised Anticipated Reserve Margins above Reference
Margin Levels and ease concerns of capacity shortfalls for normal peak demand.
However, extreme heat increases peak demand and can be accompanied by weather
patterns that lead to increased forced outages or reduced energy output from
resources of all types. A combination of extreme peak demand, low wind, and high
outage rates from thermal generators could require system operators to use
emergency procedures, up to and including temporary manual load shedding.

As drought conditions continue over the Missouri River Basin, output from thermal
generators that use the Missouri River for cooling in Southwest Power Pool (SPP)
may be affected in summer months. Low water levels in the river can impact
generators with once-through cooling and lead to reduced output capacity. Energy
output from hydro generators on the river can also be affected by drought
conservation measures implemented in the reservoir system. Outages and reduced
output from thermal and hydro generation could lead to energy shortfalls at peak
demand. Periods of above normal wind generator output may give some relief,
however, this energy is not assured. System operators could require emergency
procedures to meet peak demand during periods of high generator unavailability.

weird that ny is the only state that matches its borders on that map, unless the proportions are wonky and thats supposed to be the whole florida panhandle
