Polar Vortex

February 18th, 2021 at 01:38 am

I'm in the midwest so this is familar to me. I don't like it but it's the price I'm willing to pay. At least I'm prepared for it. And I've even gone on walks the last three days because it's gotten up to 10 degrees F. I feel really bad for folks south of here who are ill prepared. Their homes aren't built for this and they are running into problems with the power systems and etc. The house I grew up on had electric baseboard heat but only for back up, otherwise we had a woodstove. We had septic and well water so we usually kept gallon glass jugs full of water in case the power was out for too long. When Y2K happened, I knew that if the world collapsed that I could go and it would be fine. I'm not sure what would happen now. I'm dependent on the grid. This of course has me thinking....

What kind of emergency provisions do you have?

    We have some things stocked up, but we do need water. We would have to figure out a heat source. We have a fire place, but learned in 2006 during the ice storm and no power, it really didn't put out much heat.
