I live in Oklahoma. We are currently in blizzard like conditions. Temp is 4 degrees, wind chill -16, have about 8 inches of snow so far. This is day 2. Woke up this morning to no electricity. Very thankful for our generator that we bought a few months ago. Electricity came back on within a few hours. We have been told to stay off the roads until Wednesday. |

It was not quite so extreme for snow, but it did get to about -20*C here and the snow was over a foot after weeks of slow accumulation. It is clearing now, but I can really sympathise, Penny! My feet are still cold! |

Woke up this morning and it was -3 with a wind chill od -24, lol, definitely not used to this. I hate cold weather and snow. They started doing rolling blackouts today to conserve energy, because there is an energy overload. We get some of our electricity from wind turbines and they are frozen. |

Each event like the cold spell (except for Carbon) is a good test for our preps. I will need to keep working on my fire wood situation with smaller branches (wind falls?) for the kitchen stove. |

We felled 140 large macrocarpa trees last week. That should keep us in firewood for a while............. Now all we've got to do is slice it up, split it and stack it. |

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesnβt accord with the facts.
