Preparing for brutal cold and snow...again

Temperatures here are expected to reach 20 year lows, maybe 10 below, and 8" of snow. This already has been our toughest winter in many years, more snow that I remember and now record low temperatures on top of that.

Doris was out earlier and food is pretty much depleted on grocery shelves. This weather is supposed to last for a while.

I know it's bad pretty much all over, so stay warm, dry and well fed.

Thanks,
Clark

Pretty crazy here too in western pa.  Hopefully no utilities fail or we can be in some big trouble.

It's bad for our birds too.  It's supposed to warm up an rain tomorrow so that will just ice over whatever food is left.

The worst is having to work in it, just glad I work inside now. So my heart goes out to those who actually have to work outside. I spent 4 years in Philly, working midnights as an Aviation Mechanic outside, down right brutal at times.

We started with rain last night. It's been below freezing all morning and now the sleet has really started coming down pretty furiously covering everything in sight. It won't take long at this rate to be a major problem.

Spring Creek Calls

I would prefer to deal with the snow. Just spent 2.5 days without power from the last ice storm.

-16 here the other nite.  Wanted to go after coyote but it's too darn cold. Wish it was spring!!!

1-3 Inches of snow tonight and tomorrow....then -10 deg. Monday night here in WV.  -4 was the coldest I'd been in before but it seems my record will fall.   Oh how I long for spring!!

It just dropped another 18 degrees here over the last few minutes and the snow is really flying now. If this kind of drop continues, it will be even colder than they are predicting. It never used to get this cold here. We're looking at record breaking low temps for several days.

Please stay safe, warm and well fed.

Thanks,
