Next week will be polar!




by Christophe » 21/02/18, 18:19

After the floods and the snow ... here is the cold polar ...- 5 expected in Marseille ... there are some who will have hard and the nuclear power plants will turbinate at full speed ...

The situation summarized in an image of the site meteociel ...

All France will be under 0 degree, which is, AMHA, extremely rare situation!

"They" announce down to -14 ° C for next week by my place. My pellet boiler will not be idle : Cheesy:

A thought for the homeless :(

nuclear power plants are going to run at full speed ...

The ones that work again, yes.
The others ... well ... not really. On RTE eco2mix, we see that nuclear caps at 50 GW these days. According to experts (= EDF employees), there is 13 GW nuclear stationary, the equivalent of 15 Fessenheim-type reactors.

If the wind weakens, it will be tense on the network next week.

... and if it does not weaken, the cold will be even more painful! : Wink:

I captured the "worst" moment, Friday morning March 2:

In Corsica, and maybe elsewhere in the south, the water meters are ... outside!

Not sure that they all resist this cold wave ...

I may have to reconnect my water hose reheat ... I have a pump that feeds my house with a tank, which has a certain length of pipe not buried, despite insulating foam sleeve when it is too cold it freezes ... my solution was to put between the pipe and the insulating foam a rope in plasticized steel cable, and to pass current in with a transformer 12v ... that's a few watt per meter that do not heat up a lot but that's enough to avoid frost

it even managed to thaw when the gel plugged the pipes ... I plug and it thaws the next day ... a few years ago that I did not need it

And the homeless are also outside. But, well, it's less serious than the water meters! : Mrgreen:

In practice, the SDFs resist better because they have an internal heating system and an insulation :) this is not the case with water meters.

And an ethanol heater ... very treacherous as a type of heating! : Cry: : Cry: : Cry:

I do not remember seeing a sdf in Corsica ... : Mrgreen:

Good without laughing ... the municipalities should make available their premises in case of a cold snap! And not only in case of a cold wave elsewhere! Because on the bottom, sdf should not exist ... what sadness ego-capitalism

I know a lot about the issue of homelessness and the doctrine that applies to it: unsurprisingly, it reflects a general tendency of our society to fight the consequences while accommodating the problem. In very cold weather, the instructions are to do everything possible to avoid deaths (dead homeless people are like drowned people: they come back to the surface and it's a mess) ...
