Ice for the south, REAL cold for the north.

One would think, from the media coverage, that this was the first time that it had ever gotten cold like this. I expect that the coverage is the same in the south.

Cold is no joke, it can kill you.  You can lose fingers and toes.

Ice is no joke, it makes for downed power lines and very slick travel.  Lots of folks in the middle of the country will get a lot of ice and they might be dark for a week or so.

But at the end of it, it is what most of us call “Winter” and one simply has to prepare for it, and be smart enough to deal with it.

If not, as I was taught so many years ago….”Darwin is always waiting”.

But I grow tired of the hype from the Media. It is like most things in life: either yer gonna be smart enough to prepare for it or you aren’t. You are either gonna be smart enough to dress to handle the conditions, or you aren’t, and yer gonna get hurt if not.

I recommend everyone have enough snacks and easily prepared food…..And enough booze of your choice to weather the storm ahead.
