A Snowy Super Bowl in Dallas

 

This isn't Green Bay or Pittsburgh, PA. This is North Texas, and North Texas is a mess.

Snow on the ground. Rotating power outages. Drivers sliding around on slush and ice. Low gas pressure. Temperatures in the teens.

The entire region experienced the planned power outages Wednesday as officials tried to maintain the integrity of the state’s power grid during the extreme cold weather that is gripping much of Texas.

The state’s major grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), and major power generators worked feverishly to restore generating units to full service and at about 2 p.m. ERCOT issued a statement saying the blackouts were no longer needed Wednesday afternoon.

The statement said, however, that there was a strong possibility that blackouts could return Wednesday night and throughout the week.

I would have to say the people least affected by the weather problems in Dallas have to be the teams themselves. Everything they do is so controlled, they can just go about their business.

Your point is brilliant and I can’t agree with you more. In fact, I have been following your blog for a long time and what you write is rather informative, helping a lot in fashion style. Look forward to more wonderful posts:-D-Glashutte Original watches conus
