The Cold Is A-Coming!!

We've had some outstanding weather so far this winter. About 4 days where it was down around freezing in the morning, but it warmed up nicely during the day. That's about to come to a screeching halt, though.

Folks, the last time we had weather like this was about 3 years ago. Pipes bursting, roads slick and folks don't know how to drive on them, cold, cold, COLD!

Yeah, know for most folks on the forum, this is probably mild, but keep in mind, we're in SE NM....the desert! Sheesh.

Got a space heater, in case you need to heat a crawlspace to protect the pipes?
A heating pad can be used like heat tape to thaw or protect pipes as well.

 

You must be in the northern part of the state? I am around San Angelo and it is looking bad but not that bad on the forecast here...but bad enough I am now looking at a couple of weeks maybe around San Antonio and Corpus Christi before I head back west. In the meantime topping off the propane in the motorhome.

 

I don't think we've ever even interacted on here...one of the Monkeys of whom I really know nothing. Houston looks like an awfully big city for me...even Corpus is looking a bit scary. You know me, Medford is marginal.

 

Supposed to be 80 degrees and overcast on my little corner of NC.

 

NW Arizona - Snow tonight 30% 27 for a low. Not as bad as first predicted. Low of 19 on Saturday.
Live in SE Az but am at the BOL now 5000 - 5200 ft

 

I hear ya...going all the way down to 67 tonight and only flirting with 80 tomorrow...

 

El paso, Texas is getting snow. Been along time since it got that cold in El Paso

 

Snow on the ground and still coming down at 31 right now. Forecast is for 25 tonight and 12 tomorrow night.

 

Fortunately, our place (in SE NM, btw) is built on a slab. We have propane heater if needed as well as a couple of fireplaces and a couple of camp stoves for cooking. We went through something a little bit worse than this a couple or 3 years ago and did ok. Only problem we had was our sprinkler system valve let go. Sprinkler guy came by, turned off the valve and came back when it warmed up. This year, I"m going to turn off that valve myself tomorrow.

Merry Christmas, all.

I'm within 2 miles of the SC line, Landrum is the closest town and we're close to building a boat here.

 

Yeah, I don't live near the downtown area. I live near a small town named Magnolia. Houston is a rather large city. I prefer to stay out in the rural areas. I only go to town for work and some business.

 

The forecast keeps getting worse!



BLIZZARD??? Are you freakin' kidding me????? In the desert SW!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pretty cool though how the bad weather stops suddenly at the Mexican border...I sense a plot here

 

OK, spent today finishing up getting ready. We'll see how it goes.

Here's tonight, about 8:20, 2 hours into the event.

 

Today on "In Case Of Emergency", at 5PM (Eastern) we will discuss small space prepper advice, prepping when you are poor (or on a really tight budget), and some advice for preppers looking at bullion as an investment!

Joining me will be my new co-host, a complete novice, non-prepper, Tony D'Ateno!

In Case Of Emergency is a show for preppers, beginning preppers, and with preparedness in mind. The show airs LIVE on Sundays on Radio KAOS, Revere Radio Network, Ras Radio, and Salty Talk Radio!
