Just saw this weather headline re "fatal storm" on my Youtube feed. They are really playing this up as potentially causing deaths, etc. across a wide swath of the US--extreme Arctic cold plus power outages, icy roads, etc. I don't know what to make of it. Are there any "weather fags" here who know something about it? Shades of Texas storm Valentines 2021. Some Texans froze to death.
I'm in Texas, just about without exception everyone who froze or died in that Texas storm you mention died from utter stupidity. For example, one hispanic non-English speaking family who lost power in their trailer home let their child play in the snow. They had no way to dry him off and warm him up, the child died.... but ask me and Imma say the parents killed him. I mean, damn.
We're expecting the Artic front after the Canadian front and that comes after the Pacific front. Here on the Texas Gulf coast outside Houston I fully expect to be in the teens Thursday night/Friday morning, may be below freezing until Saturday. Most of America likely will be cold and miserable, and there will be power problems, absolutely.
We expect heavy winds with that, so we will see outages for a certainty. Mother Nature will cause problems, but what I also expect is more false flag infrastructure attacks, gas pipelines or something say, because Traitor joe the Pedo wants his damn winter of Death.
So, everyone's mileage will vary. A 'lot' of people are gonna suffer between now and next week, depending on where you are, how you are situated and what your government does to you. We 'think' we are prepared to ride out a week of stupid cold with no power, I hope everyone is.
But in reality people will die, yeah. Darwin is gonna be Right There waiting for some of us.
Merry Christmas.

We were in the ice storm two winters ago. We are ready this time. 13 days without electricity sucked. We are on a well. Luckily we have a fireplace. We boarded up the room and kept the fire going. Not having water sucks. We did fill the tubs but never was there any threat of death. 5 degrees is cold but was manageable.
The worst part was two inches of freezing rain they killed about 50 trees and took down limbs on the north side of all the trees. A mess.
We lost a water line out to the boat dock, power was out for about two days straight then sporadically. But we have a generator and are very experienced at surviving storms of all kinds.
A neighbor has a 2 story house and didn't turn his water off, didn't let faucets drip, when we lost power he was asleep and when he woke he had busted pipes upstairs.
He didn't know until it thawed and he flooded his whole house, it was about 90 thousand to fix and he did it on the cheap. He's from Chicago, moved down here to escape the cold.....
We even told him to turn his water off and drain his lines, but nope.
Good luck, and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

My daughter is flying to Texas a few days after Christmas. Its going to be a big shock to the system for her as she's never seen snow or experienced such cold weather and it's our summer here and we're expecting around 37celcius on Christmas day.
we'll be a little warmer by then, we don't usually get much below the 50s or 40s down here. But North Texas sits right tere almost on the north pole, nothing between Amarillo and the North Pole except a barb wire fence.
We shouldn't have any snow by then...
Merry Christmas.
there is going to be a lot of frozen tacos down in Texas
The temp drop and how far south it will reaxh will cause death. But like others have said its because people are stupid
how many illegals came with a winter coat and boots??....no Buano...they are all in shorts and sneakers or sandles and just swam across the river...gonna be a cold weekend for them
Darwin’s theory is still in effect.
Bomb cyclone - it's going to be biblical.....
Well the high in my town today is -14, people do die of exposure. I have lost two extended family members that way, and I've had frostbite.
On top of that we are getting snow making travel hazardous. Used to be that it had to warm up to snow. Not any more.
ice-cream headaches?
I would almost think it might be Winter!
They've already started 'brining' our roads. I live in Western Kentucky. Tomorrow evening it should start with very cold rain, then sleet and ice and anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of snow. Flash Freezing causing the roads to ice over quickly. Possibility of power lines coming down leaving people without any way of heat. North and East of me in Kentucky will get anywhere from 4 to 6 inches of snow and much more freezing rain and ice. I have lived through 3 ice storms and with the Good Lord by my side, I will live through another. Take care and stay warm.
I’ve got a son in Bowling Green. He thinks it’s going to be a piece of cake. Planning to come here (NC) day after Christmas. I’m hoping he makes the TN valley. That’s usually bad to travel through in winter
Right. I pray he has a safe trip. After I get home today, I am not going anywhere. Already have the snow shovel and the rock salt on the side; ready and waiting.
Brining, lol.
That's what they call it, a liquid salt solution.
I know Mary, but why not just call it salt like the rest of the country.
Because that's what our county calls it on the radio. They will say, "The trucks are out brining the roads." So I say 'brine.' Yesterday they brined and followed with 'salt' trucks. Don't ask me why; as I have no idea.
Interesting. Up here in the north that phrase is not used. Learn something new everyday.
Merry Christmas
And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours my friend.
What I found interesting about the story is that this Polar express of cold comes from Siberia. This does not happen very often. But it will happen.
yeah global warming my frozen ass
Awww here goes the Russia Russia Russia thing again...sheesh
;)
Yep I saw that too. I need to dug into that. The cold is normal here for this time of year. Snowing when it's this far below zero is not.
