In northern MN we had 12 straight days under -10f for a high. We had 7 days under -30 for a low, including a couple of -40. Even though we are "ready" for these temps, peoples pipes froze and people lost power. What's really weird is that it was 8 above today and actually felt colder than it did at -20.
I lived in the south as a kid and understand that southern states aren't ready, but bad ice storms are like a thursday in April for us.
Keep active, stay warm and avoid alcohol is the best advice I can give.
I grew up in Norway and moved to California "only" 15 years ago. So I managed to catch the two coldest winters in Oslo before catching the two worst wildfires in California. Next time I'm moving somewhere safer!!!
Uh where do you live in California? Born and raised in LA and the only time I’ve ever felt my life was threatened I was in London and Frankfurt.
East Bay for the first record breaker, PG&E cut our power because they were concerned that the fires were getting close. Last years big one we'd just moved to the South Bay and spent a couple weeks not going outside because the air wasn't all that breathable. Orange skies, covid and the air hurting your lungs. Looked like a real life apocalypse.
