Gov. Greg Abbott, in a news conference Wednesday, was confident the state could handle the increased demand for energy as the temperatures dropped.

“I think trust will be earned over the next few days as people see that we have ultra-cold temperatures and the grid is going to be able to perform with ease,” he said.

It got colder than a witch's tiddy up here where I'm at it was minus 3 this morning with a wind chill of minus 30 and right now it's 4 degrees with minus 17 wind chill.

Not on the same grid up here as the rest of the state.

Power outages have left about 1.4 million homes and businesses in the dark, according to the website PowerOutage, which tracks utility reports. Utilities in Nashville, Memphis and throughout the Tennessee Valley said they were implementing rolling blackouts Friday to conserve power as the region battles an extreme cold front.

And more than 4,600 flights within, into or out of the U.S. were canceled Friday, according to the tracking site FlightAware, causing more mayhem as travelers try to make it home for the holidays.

You would think I’d be used to it by now. But it still just feels wrong wearing shorts on Christmas Day.
