It looks as if our power grid is under stress tonight.
We are at 7 degrees this morning. Nice.... -been a while since I can recall temps this low in North Texas. As far as energy companies/suppliers - they're on my list. -didn't even turn on the heat until well into December (as we had 70-80 degrees consistently), and set the thermostat at 68. (got an $87 bill for "estimated" usage between mid-Nov. and mid Dec. which was double the prior bill). -when confronted with charges that couldn't possibly be correct, they conceded that my meter wasn't actually read; however, there was no solution but to pay it. -neighbor's bill for "actual" usage was $45.
Anyway, I'll be turning on the heat lamps for the chickens in a few, and taking fresh water out to the coop. (and enjoying the 71 degrees indoors)
