    Yep. We’re officially sub zero air temps already here too. I’ll wake up to -23 by 6 a.m. Those are not with wind chill. Fun stuff.

    The pump at gas station I went to today froze. Apparently, electronic controls in gas pumps have limits too.
    If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV

    Thanks man. Will do. We’re prepared. Just need the mechanicals to hold up and we’ll be in good shape after Thursday. This is some crazy ass cold though.

    If power goes out is what I'm worried about.

    Hopefully people have secondary ways of heating.

    Drink lots of good booze!!!

    Same here, brother. Everyone needs to have a backup plan in case power goes out or furnace shits the bed. I’ve been mapping it out in my head to prepare for worst case.

    Last winter I came back from Palm Springs to find the thermostat for my heater went to shit while I was gone. The temp inside the house was 34 degrees. Being that it was 1:30 in the morning, I could do nothing. Piled the kid, wife, and self into a bed with a mountain of blankets and plugged in a space heater. It sucked. Just lucky none of my pipes froze up.

    Wow. That must have been a shock to the system going from Palm Springs heat to that!

    Well the Post Office has announced that they are halting mail delivery for tomorrow here in Minnesota. The governor hasn’t cancelled school yet though.

    Not where I live in MN,  but not far off from my current temp either. In-sane!

    It's a hopeless situation...

    Yeah, now it's all clear how the great lakes formed in the Midwest after the last ice age. It's only -59 real feel where I am.

    I told my furnace, “I swear I’ll never be late changing your filter again if you get me through these next two days.” Lol

    I’m surprised no school cancellations. Chicagoland is basically shutting down. Most businesses included.
