Cold spell in #PDX well below freezing for several days, ice coating everything, with power outages for tens of thousands of people...
Despite having a small 400W #solar setup with a 24v 40AH #LifePO4 battery, I have not been able to keep the temperature safely above freezing, so cannot charge the battery!
The grid held up for most of the week but finally lost power for 11 hours.
Thankfully, have been keeping 9 liters hot of water in vacuum flasks for hot tea and have significant batteries!
