BRUTAL COLD is on the way for the U.S. - AGAIN!

Interesting thought!

Its illegal to feed the deer in Nys no matter how deep the snow gets. Nor can you feed the homeless.

A cool summer would be worth a few arctic blasts.
I'm down with that, as the black folks say.

Get several bags of tea-lights. These little candles throw out a RIDICULOUS amount of light.

Also...old fashioned candelabras can be had at tag-sales and consignment for a few dollars. Cheap taper candles (also at tag sales/consignment) are easy to come by.

We have electric power tonight but have on superbowl and the room is lit only by candles and it is BRIGHT!

Stock up on the economical candles and you will be ok to cook that yummy stuff :)

Hey, how do you like your Mr. Buddy? Is it really safe indoors...I worry about the CO output. But for short stints it seems like a really good idea to have around. If you have used it, what's the longest continuous time you've run it indoors?

When the cold gets REAL it's time to get a real heating source...wood burning stove!!!!!

and up to 100% projected crop loss by some California farmers....

Excuse me for saying but you guys are bad-asses over there. I love it!!!
:)

warm here

Are you talking about the terra cotta pots over the tea lights? I have been doing that. It is good. I placed foil over a cake baking pan and put 3-4 tealights on it. Cover that with a clay pot (two pots work better for more warmth) and you're warm AND safe from fire.

I wonder when it will start over here, we've gone from fall to spring and just skipped winter this year.

I stated that it was winter and cold and snow are to be expected and I will add regardless of what the left clamors about global warming.

It is illegal to feed the deer in any state due to the deer version of mad cow disease or even rabies because feeding in confined areas means drawing in healthy and unhealthy animals to feed in confined areas thus exposing healthy animals to diseases.

The illegality of feeding the homeless is due to New York State desiring to negate the problem and seek to scoot those unable or unwilling to enter the government dependent class system to collect their “benefits” to other areas.

Here in Cleveland, I hate this weather.

But, the reason is, I am so dependant on modern things like the furnace and my car.

If the power goes out, I have no heat, and I have to worry the pipes will freeze.

I have to hope my car starts and I can make it through the snow and ice to my job.

It is a lot of added stress.

But, I suppose, if I lived in a housing project. With checks coming in without me having to show up at a job. With someone else to worry about the heat.

Man I could just stay in and party. That would be sweet.

this:)

I have candles but with kids around I prefer not to use them, however I do have plenty of solar lights outside that I can bring in if needed. Normally I use the solar lights for the kids at night time they help a lot around here if the power goes off. It use to be that we could run a portable TV off a car battery but now with the stupid boxes they have, you can't do that any more.

Same in Poland? I had no idea!

OP is a global warming shill.

I bought a Mr. Buddy too. Hope I won't need it though. They were selling like hotcakes at the store before Christmas.

Even me.

62 degrees in Alabama next week! Hell yes!

You my friend are in denial. If you think all these weather caused disasters are normal I really do not know what to tell you.

In 2013 over 880 extreme weather events cost about $125 billion around the world.

I have lived in California all my life - 55 years. We have never had this lack of rain - ever. Today we drove with our convertible top down with weather like the middle of summer happening. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I am also a photographer and was out taking photos today of flowers at Jack London Square today that are blooming 3-4 months early. The plants and trees are confused. Our roses never stopped blooming - I have roses blooming in our backyard now.

We never had winter this year. In summer we had rain and some storms. I have never seen that - EVER.

Our climate has changed - permanently.

proper way to read:
op was picking up trannies at jack london square...

I heard about that terra-cotta heater idea and thought it was a good one! However, for temps that are -10 no windchill...not sure it would help a lot. :( At that point, you really just need a wood-stove.

I was actually responding to the poster who was saying it would not be possible to see enough to cook once the lights went out. I never had that issue because I feel the tealights put out a lot of light! And the candelaba too. But I understand what a huge hazzard that is with little children around. For you guys, I suggest head lamps! And stay warm wherever you may be!
:)

Lived in California all your life, eh???

No wonder you're a cult zombie libtard.

Excellent...!!!

Time for some more cold-weather camping!

What do you have against your fellow man? You are prejudiced against people that live in California. Seriously?

Lol, anyone remember that thread a week or two ago where the "insider" said the current (at the time) polar vortex would be followed by a short warm period (which it did) and then he said immediately followed by another major freeze of unusually low temps that would not be so short lived?
I wish I could find it. Anyone? Buehler?

I've heard a coal burning stove will put out more heat. Wood is nicer though.

Coal puts out a lot hotter heat.That is why you cant burn coal in a wood heater.It will burn them up.
