I remember in '88 in Dallas when water mains were breaking. Nothing is as slippery as a street filled with ice from a broken main. It was two weeks before it completely melted.

I order food deliveries & just exist indoors.

Roads frequently break axles, etc. & crime way too high.

Ty!

Big stock of paper plates & microwaveable bowls for soup, too.

I guess the masses didn't "thunk" of that.

Last time such a storm hit here, people were without electricity & potable water for 3 weeks. Yikes!

That was in 1994 &, trust me, infrastructure has done nothing but deteriorate during the intervening years.

Preventative maintenance & upgrades seem to be missing from the Southern vernacular.

You scored!

Last time such a big storm hit, everyone was without electric & potable water for 3 weeks! Holy crap!

Baby wipes for "bathing" incoming from Target...

Truly like living in a 3rd world country here.

Gs might have an adventure heating (or cooking!) Food on computer cpu or car engine blocks. (There are you tube videos...sadly. lol)

Take care of your neighbors all.

It's -3 here in IA, with a windchill of -21.

I just finished a cup of hot chocolate and will be making lentil soup for lunch....

24 hrs of 35 mph winds here with temps in mid teens & WC forecast from 10 above to 10 below.

Memphis is not built for this! Gawd only knows why...

I never leave my home due to horrific roads, meth head drivers, & extreme violence.

Hunkered down. 👍

And gs🩵💛

We're golden now ith water for washing hands & dishes.

litter containers. Bottles of water for drinking, juices, etc., and things I can eat without cooking (cans and pouches), and plenty of kitty supplies. It is only supposed to be bad for a couple of days with this storm system, but I live on the Front Range, so always try to be prepared.


Please, everyone, be careful and safe and well out there.

Hunkered down. 👍

Just had a bottle of Stella with lunch, a rarity for me.

Tasted weird, so I googled what they did to it. Gobbled up by bush years ago. No longer brewed in Belgium, dammit!

Hunkered down here. 👍

We've been lucky to have an unusually warm fall and winter this year here in Colorado, but today it is 10 degrees F at 11:30 AM on its way to a predicted high of 15. The wind chill factor is 1 degree F.

Stay warm & safe!

Fill your bath tubs so you will have water to flush with.

Also, every container in the kitchen. Every pot and pan and jar.

Keep warm!

Thx!

Stay safe.

Hunkered down. 👍

that you don't see the worst of the storm.

Another Insracart shopper scored me a large box of baby wipes (for "bathing" when watet mains break & they have already done so in 1 area).

So, gs & I are hunkered down, having done all we could to prep our home & stocking supplies

May your fortunate luck continue and please be safe, SheltieLover.


Would you keep updating us when you can?

2" snow & now freezing rain. 😓

Givens: power outages & broken watet mains, but gs & i are ready.
