Everyone stay safe thru the coming few days of extreme cold.

[*zap*]

Common sense prevails. Make sure your vehicle kits are up to date. Water, shelter, a way to keep warm, fire starters and food.

Certainly good info here. Humans seem to find ways to endanger themselves and this cold blast will undoubtedly produce some victims of profoundly poor judgment calls.

Coming from a life in Alaska, and the Northern Rockies I am always blown away by the number of idiots that die in the Southern states when it gets cold.

I remember when I lived in Kentucky a flurry or two and they would be lined up at the Piggly Wiggly stocking up on milk, bread and eggs. No one ever buys canned goods or cases of water.

Then the disaster that happened in Texas a couple years ago. Made me thank God that I live someplace remote away from people. And have the equipment to take care of our family come rain, shine, flood, feast, famine or insurection.

Good advice. And don't go anywhere unless you absolutely have to. Kind of tough at Christmas time I know but be safe.

[Jxferg7]

This is what we have to look forward to in the great Midwest!

 

[Mojave]

Windchill love it. Keeps the people out.

Nobody is going to test their stuff and sleep outside?

I definitely am. Great time to test gear. I'll be on a sea island near Edisto. Of course here the low is a laughable 22 degrees. But that's cold for us.

 

[flatlanderhuffandpuff]

Seriously, there are a lot of people who are unable to think past working cars and electric heat. Don't go check the mail in your flipflops. Cold Kills.

Thursday: -46 wind chill
Friday: -54 wind chill
Snow: 3-10" depending on the model

• Got snow fences up late yesterday
• Gonna add plastic to exterior (already did inside) windows on W/N sides of the house today
• Last day of school before break for my daughters, so we will ride out the cold, snow, and wind at home tomorrow
• Oh yeah, got generator gas and filled up the tractor with diesel as well
• Other vehicles full of fuel too.

I think ZAP said he was going to check out his hot tent,

 

[SummitsCalling]

Perfect hot tub weather is around 0° . Not too cold to freeze your skin, but cold enough to enjoy the warm water.

4 man/Kni-Co trekker stove is set up outside...

Also make sure to have co detectors installed on every level of your home as well as smoke detectors. Cheap insurance that is often overlooked.

You mean it's not 65F and sunny everywhere like it was here today?

Yes even compared to Las Cruces Scottsdale is heaven. That and you have bimbos, we only have cutter Latina chicks here.

But your average age in Scottsdale is probably 55, and ours in 25.

I genuinely wanted to either test my gear out or either be kicked back in my recliner with a fire in the wood heater. However fortune favored neither.. had to go into work tonight.

I’m worried about roads being frozen over in the am but we shall see. I had full plans to be prepared if I got stuck at work or worse yet on the side of the road, but I’m unorganized and time was not on my side to prep accordingly.
I have a couple of bowls of chili, some water, dog food, a blanket and my heavy hunting jacket..
Not as good as I could be or in years past but I’m better than average

 

[PvilleMac]

It was in the low 40’s where Im at the other day. I even had to put a sweater on.

Now that I’ve proved Im one of you, you can believe me when I say this isn’t really THAT cold.
(Stay safe out there)
