wranglers Rolling Blackouts in Calgary
Per a tweet from 660 News...rotating every 30 minutes per directive from the Alberta Electric System Operator to save power consumption during the heat wave.

Save your work regularly, or, go outside and enjoy the heat!

While I'm sure a modern fridge can easily hold your beer at a reasonable temperature for 30 minute... better play it safe and shotgun a couple... just in case

Ha.. it had better not hit my area. I'm about to go to bed and rely on my alarm clock to get my butt up.

I need a better alarm clock. Whelp.

Just hit me in Springbank Hill - of course I didn't know in advance and probably lost some work.

Big time. About $500/MW around 11am, going up to nearly $1,000 since 2 (and staying stable).

Came to CP to find out what the hell happened, left satisfied.

Not sure if we're part of the same section, but I hope living close to downtown means the Beltline gets spared.
