The Winter Storm Page, T+18 -- January 20, 2019

Foul bigley. Less than two minutes to play, the NFL officials miss a huge penalty. Huge penalty. NFL officials fail to call penalty on Rams. Had they called the penalty it would have guaranteed a home game win for the New Orleans Saints. Only way to read it: NFL officials did not want to be "blamed" for winning the game for the Saints. But the refs really, really blew it. Rams can now win or take it to overtime. Later: Saints lose in overtime. Saints fans have every reason to be very, very upset. It will be interesting to hear Rush Limbaugh's take on this.

Prediction: I'll go out on a limb here and predict that the New England Patriots will defeat the Kansas City Chiefs. Bigley. Later: wow, that was close.

Heat. Link here. New Englanders are paying $85/MWh to heat their homes right now during Winter Storm Harper using 6% coal to maintain the grid. After supplying a max of 1791MW earlier this morning, renewables are starting to peter out, currently at 1624 MW, or 12% of demand.

Montreal: winter festival canceled -- too cold. I can't make this stuff up.

Alexa: what time does the football game start today? The Rams take on the Saints at 2:05 p.m. Central Time.

Alexa: what's more important, the wall or the NFL playoffs? Alexa: "Do you want to hear a joke?"
