Historic Cold Weather Coming

Everybody where I live is talking about the extreme cold weather that is forecast for our area. Some are saying that the chill factor in some areas is going to approach minus 50 degrees. That is really cold and it can be record-setting cold where we live.

Some people are saying that we should let one or more of our interior water faucets drip continually during the cold snap to keep the water pipes from bursting. Is that something you, my readers, do?

I noticed, when I went to the grocery store, that the ordinary herd of frightened hoarders were stripping all the store shelves bare. It happens every time the News talks about a cold weather snap — People just seem to be buying enough toilet paper and other essentials to try to outlast an apocalypse. I remember that at the height of covid-19, I, myself, went out and bought enough toilet paper that I am still using some out of that outlandish supply that I laid in.

I guess if our power goes out like some people are expressing fears about, Jim and I do have enough clothing and blankets that we can wear layers and layers of clothes and sleep under a hefty pile of blankets if it gets to be too bad…but we will not be able to cook food….maybe we can heat some canned goods up over candles … we have plenty of candles.

I see that FEMA that was on a firing kick, has decided to stop firing employees because of the weather predictions. That’s kind of laughable as far as i am concerned. Not to be snarky or anything, but i think I would be really worried about a catastrophic winter storm event if I lived in a Democrat controlled state.
