Ryan Hall is doing snow programs too.

 

[Texbudman]

well, luckily you texans have the most robust power system

Are you talking the sun or our questionable ERCOT power grid? I would prefer to rely on the sun. We lost power for six days back in 2021

Winds that once blew free now scatter dust to the sky
Cowboy, cowboy, can't run, can't hide, too late.

It'll be interesting to see if ERCOT will be more robust this time around.

Been in Orlando all week loving the weather. Flying back to Iowa this morning...after cancelled flights thru Dallas and Charlotte (twice) hoping to hop over Fern and en route to Chicago now. In the air currently and its incredible the blanket of dark clouds I've seen for hundreds of miles.

80 degrees yesterday in St. Thomas, just wonderful weather, today it's supposed to be around 85 as we sail to Aruba. Glad we are out of Iowa.

Technically it is a real thing... but it's misleading to say "exploding"... they crack.
