Quoting: Nanna-Ree our country as a whole is unprepared...i sometimes think it would be a whole lot easier to prep if i lived in the USA or something like that... so what do you guys do??...keeping in mind that alot of us dont have things like wood burners etc....i just think it would be nice to share ideas.... Home Emergency Kit A home emergency kit is an essential part of preparing for storms, natural disasters and other unforeseen events. You should also have a number of items in the kit including but not limited to the following: • Food items including canned food, ready-to-eat meals, or • high-energy foods such as chocolate or energy bars. • Enough drinking water for your entire family for at least 72 hours • Baby food and formula (if baby in the household) • Prescription drugs and other medicine • First-aid kit • Flashlight and extra batteries • Battery-powered lamps or lanterns. all tips welcome......

It took just six months for a warm and sunny Europe to be engulfed in ice, according to new research. Previous studies have suggested the arrival of the last Ice Age nearly 13,000 years ago took about a decade - but now scientists believe the process was up to 20 times as fast. In scenes reminiscent of the Hollywood blockbuster The day After Tomorrow, the Northern Hemisphere was frozen by a sudden slowdown of the Gulf Stream, which allowed ice to spread hundreds of miles southwards from the Arctic. Geological sciences professor William Patterson, who led the research, said: 'It would have been very sudden for those alive at the time. It would be the equivalent of taking Britain and moving it to the Arctic over the space of a few months.'

The unseasonably warm weather, allowing some areas to enjoy temperatures of up to 20C during the day and no less than 10C at night, will be gone within 48 hours.
