Enjoy the cold...

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

Albertans Asked to Conserve Power to Minimize Potential for Rotating Outages

CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The AESO declared a Grid Alert today at 3:30 p.m. in response to ongoing extreme cold temperatures across western Canada, restricted imports and very high demand.

Albertans are asked to immediately reduce their electricity use to essential needs only. Reducing peak electricity demand through province-wide conservation will minimize the high potential for rotating outages this evening.

Currently, the AESO projects the Alberta grid will face a 100 to 200 MW shortfall of electricity during peak evening hours. Immediate power conservation could make a significant difference in reducing overall system demand, currently at approximately 12,000 MW. To put these numbers into perspective, tonight the City of Calgary will be drawing approximately 1,650 MW of electricity, and, if rotating outages are implemented, will need to reduce power by approximately 50 MW.
It was -35°C (-31°F) in Calgary.
That's a tad bit colder than it was in Texas, ya think?
Is -35 C colder than normal for you guys?
Yes.
It was -45 C in Edmonton.
Same for us. It was about -15 C here this morning.

I just don't see how the paper could freeze and be strong enough to support the weight of the roll.

I would love to test that egg one out, minus the being in -30 degree weather.

Moisture in the air. Snow landing on the toilet paper.

I get the moisture and the freezing part. but how could a string of sheets frozen be strong enough to hold the entire roll up in the air? it doesn't look as if the roll is supported by anything other than the frozen paper below it.

Well, things tend to get rather hard when they are frozen solid.

We've had a little warmup. 11 degrees with snow possible today. I barely needed my heavy jacket.

I know, right? After that extreme cold snap now El Niño is doing its thing and we'll be back in the pluses come Monday.
