Sorry you have to deal with this, Rivers. Are cities doing outreach to homeless folks? So many animals will be suffering, too.

It's so hard to keep a house warm with these temps.

I’m in New England and that storm’s headed this way this week, but we’re only going down to the 20s, with a low of 9 one night being the coldest in the forecast. Even that’s plenty cold!
We’ve got shelters here that are being expanded for the coldest events.

with a windchill of -31. That’s nippy.

Not going outside until Monday or Tuesday, when I have to go to the dentist. And I don't mind a bit. I got ready for this.

Let me rephrase that. I HAD an eye appointment tomorrow at 10 AM. They sent an e-mail with a link to confirm, and a message that you couldn’t cancel by e-mail. So we’ll call tomorrow morning.

Crossing our fingers our furnace hold up in our old farm house. We've been checking our freeze alarm a couple of times per day to make sure it's not getting too far behind. I really don't want to have to send my elder parents out there.

hope none freeze up. Wind chill is horrible also.
