All the way down into the southern USA. Here in Oklahoma we are supposed to get to single digit temps and be below freezing for 4 or 5 days. Even as far south as Alabama it will be crazy cold. The folks in North Dakota are used to it, but it needs to stop by Nebraska, but it will keep rolling south.

So the super cold air of parts of Russia's Siberian territories we can't even pronounce, are coming to visit and we have no way to stop it.

Yeah, not looking forward to it.

Thank goodness we made it through that winter "snowmaggedon" OK, so I suspect/hope this will be OK too.

When ERCOT told the power companies to do the rolling blackouts, I think we had 3, or maybe 4. We had a 2 hour outage, then 2 hours on then 1 hour off and 2 on. I think we had one or maybe two other cycles of 1 off 2 on.
