That's not really that bad. Maybe for Germany's weather?

YES! Bring the pets inside!

UK's National Grid retracts panic alert on blackouts and running out of energy.

The Mirror (November 22): National Grid sparks panic after warning of blackouts in alert before cancelling.

National Grid sparked panic this evening after an automated alert said the firm's capacity was "tight" and warned of blackouts - before cancelling it.

The firm put out a warning that homes could experience power issues tonight causing panic at 7pm this evening.

The alert was later cancelled.. [sic] It had originally said there was would be a tight margin when consumption would naturally increase as people come home from work and school.

On Twitter National Grid ESO wrote: "The ESO has now withdrawn the Capacity Market Notice issued at 2:33pm today."

Earlier it wrote: "The ESO is confident that electricity margins are sufficient for this evening. However, a capacity market notice (CMN) has been triggered by the automated system.
[.]
The National Grid issues warnings when supplies are likely to be under pressure. This comes when insufficient power is being generated to supply the demand across the country.

The National Grid website says: "The notices are intended to be a signal that the risk of a System Stress Event in the GB electricity network is higher than under normal circumstances."

One worried person on Twitter wrote: "National grid has apparently announced that its struggling to cope with the amount of energy being used in the UK and we could have a blackout from 7pm tonight. Let’s hope it’s a bunch of b****t and doesn’t happen."

Another added: "So, the National Grid warns about possible blackouts tonight and then cancels the alert...we haven't even had a frost yet."

It comes as National Grid had previously issued a warning to UK households that blackouts could become a reality as winter hits its peak and icy weather bites.

A Panic Test Run? World Governments and Agencies have learned to push that panic button and watch too many freak out and it doesn't take much. "A respiratory virus that has a 99.8% change of survival? Shut down the world, wear a mask, stay six-feet apart from other and WARSHHHHA YOUR HANDS!"

Who Is The National Grid: 

We move electricity round Great Britain’s system to keep homes and businesses supplied with the energy they need 24/7, 365 days a year.

Everything wrong that's happening everywhere is all by design. No one person and no group of people could possibly be so grossly incompetent.

A Constant State of Panic. Not playing along.

77" of snow since Thursday and more on the way.

Is there anyone, anywhere, who gets more time off the job than Congress and federal employees?

Josh Kraushaar @ Twitter:

I hope "The Gang of Eight" is apprised of this and they approve.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

(Early) MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

A brief post wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

To everyone who finds some reason to visit this blog once in a while (thank you), to those that take time to comment and to everyone on my Blog Roll and Social Media sites, I'm wishing ALL a very Merry Christmas.

May your time with family and friends be Blessed.

Remember those who can't be with those they want to be with - for whatever reasons - especially deployed U.S. Troops. Merry Christmas. May God watch over you and your loved ones every single moment. God Bless You!

Summer was nice...

...while it lasted. Good luck, Denver.

Screen cap: 9 News.

USA MacPaper: 'Potentially historic' blizzard conditions.

    Travel will become difficult, dangerous and nearly impossible.
    Minneapolis/St. Paul is the biggest metro area in the path of the storm.
    Tornadoes possible, too.

Don't put away those scrapers just yet:

Midwest Blizzard, heRE we snow again.

Daily Mail: Massive blizzard to hit the Rockies and Midwest Wednesday weeks after a 'bomb cyclone' hit the area.

...the major storm will include everything from high winds to heavy snow and rain, while also bringing the return risk of severe weather, just three weeks after a 'bomb cyclone' hit the area. 

Temperatures could drop more than 30 degrees Fahrenheit across the northern Plains starting Tuesday, setting the stage for lots of snow.
[.]
Some computer models indicate snowfall could reach more then 30 inches in some areas from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, through Minneapolis and east to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, although it's more likely that the snow would max out at about 24 inches.
[.]
It's believed that winds as strong as 90mph could even be seen across the Front Range and High Plains from southeastern Wyoming through eastern New Mexico and the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles.

 We didn't listen.

Upper Midwest expecting a billion feet of snow. Blizzard conditions. Hazardous roads. Climate Keeps Changing? World Ending? Summer not expected until September.

National Weather Service map: Upper Midwest buried in snow.

News Channel 5: Mid-Tennessee storm alert Saturday.

The Denver Channel: Denver mild, but more snow in mountains and next week.

NBC Chicago: Mild, flurries, chilly, warmer; more snow next week.

AccuWeather: South-central states possible tornadoes, rain, hail, flooding.

National Weather Service: Snow in southwest Montana.

National Weather Service: Hazardous Marine conditions off Alaskan coast.

Use safety and caution out there. Make a phone call and check in with family and friends who...are a bit older...ask them if they need anything. Chances are they won't, but they'll be glad you called.

And - don't go out there.

Semi truck drives onto Lake Minnetonka

FOX 9 KMSP:  Semi-truck driver drives onto Lake Minnetonka.

According to the Hennepin County Water Patrol, the driver was reportedly making a delivery to a resident on the lake when he drove onto the snow-covered ice.
[.]
According to Jeremy Elshaug, who was on the lake checking on his fish house, he and some other ice-goers helped the truck driver dig out the rig. Elshaug then used his pickup truck to pull the truck to a less snowy area.

A brief update on radio news said the truck driver was following his GPS directions. Minnetonka is a big lake with many homes around it. In certain areas, in winter, with today's diminished visibility - going by GPS - yeah, I can see how driving onto the lake would happen. Lucky the ice is as thick as it is, holding the weight of a semi.

Minnesota Blizzard? No, we've been lying for years.

This is what it was like earlier today in Minneapolis.

We've been lying for so long to the rest of the country, and world, about harsh Minnesota winters. We don't want others to know how easy we have it.

U.S. Hit by BIG Winter Storm

AccuWeather: Back-to-back storm blasts.

USA MacPaper via Yahoo: Coast-to-Coast storm; Winter MISERY.

Daily Mail: 39 states facing winter storm; some areas 1 foot of snow.

USA MacPaper - The Spectrum: Snow in Utah. 

Remember winter driving tips, folks. Always drive as fast as you can, the faster your wheels spin the better traction, you'll stop on a dime on slippery roads so braking is rare, don't allow for extra travel time, honk the horn often and never clear away more than a dime-sized hole of snow from the windshield to see through - this will allow you, the driver, more than adequate visibility and the excess snow on your vehicle helps others to see you better.

The weather is entirely our fault. We didn't listen.

More Midwest Snow. More... Global Warming. Global Cooling. Climate Change.ManBearPig ALERT!We Didn't Listen!

Damn it people, we didn't listen.

FOX 9 KMSP: More snow.

The Twin Cities metro is now estimated to get around 4 to 6 inches of snow between Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Northwestern Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota could see 6 to 8 inches during that time.

This is nothing compared to the snowfall in other parts of U.S. The Twin Cities winter, so far, has been this: November; got some snow, had a few cold days here and there, there was light snow coverage on lawns around Thanksgiving. December; warmed up, snow melted, didn't get any significant snow, cold days, then higher than average, brown lawns snow-free. January; some decent and tolerable days, a Polar Vortex plunge (that was fun), some sub-zero days, then a few warmer than average. February; expected temps and it snowed yesterday.

National Weather Service

WeatherUnderground; other winter storm alerts: Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, and a lot of other parts of the U.S.  

So many other parts of the country have had far more dumps of snow. I feel for ya, folks; we know what it's like.

Could ManBearPig be real?
