Hmmmmmm in a state that has abundant field of natural gas.

Yet you have idiots around the country agitating to shut down nuclear plants and replace them with, you guessed it, gas-fired generators. Truly the inmates are running the insane asylum.

[April Lexington]

What! All the Mexican restaurants have closed??!?!

NEED... MORE... PRESSURE...

You need to have 1-3 propane tanks (kind used for BBQs) filled and a two burner cook stove. I have this at the ready just in case. If you have no heat at least you have hot food and hot drinks

[Redleg Duke]

Due to a bean shortage?

"The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office is asking all residents of the unincorporated county to lower their thermostats by 10 degrees to reduce the pressure on current natural gas supplies."

Ummnnnn, wouldn't reducing thermostats by 10 degrees tend to raise pressure? And isn't low pressure the problem?

[CedarDave]

10:30am UPDATE: The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office is asking all residents of the unincorporated county to lower their thermostats by 10 degrees to reduce the pressure on current natural gas supplies.

A similar announcement from the city of Albuquerque is expected shortly.

I just talked to my mom in Bernalillo. She and my dad are going to Albuquerque to find a hotel. The old wood stove just ain’t cutting it. Try and stay warm guys. It’s a little cool here in Yuma Az today,but I will take 45 deg over what you guys have going on there.

Taos, Questa and Red River, much of Espanola have no natural gas which is really convenient since it dropped to -28 overnight. Now Kit Carson electric is warning us that we may lose electricity as well. Space heaters have sold out in Taos county and people are driving to Santa Fe/Albuquerque to try and find them. Luckily I picked up 10 gals of Kerosene on Monday so I can heat the house and office overnight and hopefully avoid frozen pipes.
