Finally had the good fortune of having the northern lights show up here in Okotoks, no cloud cover and being awake.

My Samsung tumble dryer recently decided to let out the invisible smoke of life. It was a basic vented model, using electric heaters to dry the clothes. It was connected to a 240V 30A circuit breaker. Below is its power consumption for a typical load:

The total power consumption was 2.58kWh.

This is what the big old weather system can do to the outside temperature. Compare that to the 2 hours it takes my big aircon to drop the interior temperature by 3°C. Pretty impressive. In 20 minutes the outside temperature dropped 15°C. That is a pretty large volume of air to cool down so rapidly.

And a clip of the hail.

What exactly is the issue here? Don't you just love informative error messages from the east?
