i think it's not the unusual expiring of sunset and committees. you are starting to see there are issues here and like tony and the other speakers, i think you are faced with a bit of a problem in that have you two choices. one choice is to do something dramatic, like say, no this is not the time we're going to extend this committee. we're going to slow it down. and maybe reconstitute it and take a look at what we're doing and the other possibility is that because the function may be mandated by law, and we really do want to have that oversight work well, you might have to really take a look at the functioning of that committee. everyone agrees that the oversight is huge. there is billions of dollars at stake. it impacts the entire economy and that is one of the reasons that i think the problems are persisting. the other thing that is going on it's in the qwon connecticut context of the state mandate and the oversight that was intended from what i personally saw it's not functioning it's should. thank you. [speaker not understood] i serve on the p

first right now, dark night out there, early sunset, 5:00, we're hided to sunsets at 4:59, 4:58 later this week. yeah, that gives you an idea. it's could. definitely if you're headed out to the polls here. do it with some warm clothing on, and maybe some gloves, too, face you get stuck in a online doors. winds are from the east. it's a chilly night for us. the air temperatures down around 42, 41, and seems like the 30s. wind plus the cold air. and ause the entire region, basically just some additional cloud cover rolling in at the moment. but that's the top edge of this storm moving in here. our nor'easter classic setup. not nearly the power of sandy, of course. this is not a hurricane, but will bring wind, rain, and enough cold air wrapping around the back side of the system to bring some wet snow into central maryland, and i think even parts of the eastern shore as the storm begins to move north. it's going to be one those winter-like evenings around here. cold, windy, wet, and a little snow. coastal flood concerns up for della square the maryland beaches, and of course all of south

, for the sunset soler output. but we also recognize that even in any year, what we may need may need we exceed forecast. we're looking at the risk management part of our line item to fund these unusual circumstances. >> and when was the last time that we weren't able to meet our needs? and i know that these rps standards are new, so, maybe we didn't have the same issues. >> we didn't have the same requirement. >> but have we been able to meet our needs with hetch hetchy with our parr? >> there have been times we had to meet short-term purchases in order to meet our needs. and maybe the best way to look at that is to again look at the first background slide i put up where you can see there are some years where a lot of our generation is considerably lower. you could tell that our retail sales pretty much track a wet year. not exactly, but in recent years, sorry, they pretty much track a dry year. so, the dry year line you see on this slide here is about where our retail sales are or have been in the last 10 or so y

big chill in the air, and yes, that sunset at 5:00 p.m. sharp, meaning our sunset is about to go pre5:00, yeah, the dark ages, so to speak. winds from the east right now, bringing in a chilly flow off the atlantic and the bay, and that's going to be the case the rest of this election night. dress warm if you still have that trip to the polls planned. wind chill factor for that line out is the door. that chill will be ever present, as we feel the wind chill factor in the upper 30s right now. look at the satellite. you can already see some clouds edging in out of the south. this is the leading edge of our developing nor'easter, which is still well south of us down off the carolina coast. going to begin to have a more significant effect around here after our election evening. right now it's still forming and developing here well off north carolina, couple of hundred miles out at see, but this thing will make a closer approach through the day tomorrow, into tomorrow night, and won't really get out of here until early thursday morning. so both
