    This is going to be the lowest two nights on record here in East Texas 17 degrees and 19 degrees! I know that's nothing compared to what most of the FHC Family is experiencing but for us folks down south it is COLD!

    I've used more firewood this winter than I've used in a total season, also had to double the amount of hay and feed for the horses and cows so far this season.
    Can't wait for spring to come.:campfire:

    We're getting a dose of the same system in NW Arkansas. A low of 4F, high of 10F, then a low of 1F, all with wind. Pretty cold snap for this area but my wood usage is right on track for the winter. Sure beats -600F like it gets up north. Lol.

    Working in the power industry I'm tuned into your exact situation.
    To get a power perspective, log on to the ERCOT sight and monitor the real time prices. It's an important event.
