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

6. Lots of cities do that. Even my rural county sent out a list of places to go to warm up

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.

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.
