Misc Winter Weather Support Group

Duke-Progress Energy was approved for ~16% rate increase. ~8% starting this month and then ~4% next year and other ~4% year after.

I was shocked to get this notice tonight from them and over what exactly? Further shocked at the WRAL phone call where the guy gave little to no information as to why.

edit: Makes me concerned about Duke-Progress being able to sustain us should we get any real snow event this winter.

Piedmont Electric Cooperative starts literally not even half a mile from the house and every dadgum time our lights go out, we can drive up to St Marys road and all the houses have lights on. It’s possible they all have generators but I doubt it.

I sure hope I get to put those 2 big sleds I purchased at an estate sale for $5 each to use this year.

You better book a trip to Snowshoe real soon if you want to.

GFS says welcome to la Nina! Huge SE ridge. 75 degrees in Dallas, and the GEFS gives a nod of approval. This is the 3rd week in January. I don't see this pattern reversing in time for the first week in February glory. Towel is thrown...I'm out.

Same. New year, same result. I actually have a couple trips planned to snowshoe, one late this month and one later in March, and two trips to Colorado in between. At this point I just hope we can keep enough cold between the warmth to keep the southeastern ski areas open. So far it’s been enough cold to manage, but nowhere is fully operational yet.

Maybe we shouldn't have a monopoly controlling our grid... take into account their ties with many of our legislatures as well.. corrupt. N
 
Yeah, overnight models didn't look great for the SE. The initial cold is focused in the west and we just get glancing shots (cool downs between rain). Even the CFS at the end of its run (first week of February) had this look:

I should have known this was going to happen when BAM Weather said they were 70% sure of a PV split and favorable cold in the east. Always go opposite whatever they say. Notice the timing. It's all about the money. The more I see, the more I believe HAARP is real and being used.

Only useful for finding patterns and if it locks into consistency. If it doesn't, it's meaningless. It should keep existing just for that reason but taking it seriously or confirming what someone said when they lack consistency after a cluster of days is pointless when you never should have believed something with low accuracy at that range to begin with.

Here in the Deep South we have a little over a month left before winter is usually over. Now the upper south is still in play even into March.

Alright I give up. What is HAARP and why should I care?

edit: Nevermind, I found it...and the plethora of conspiracies
