Quoting: Justme C'est Moi Texans should load up semis with Gators hogs and fireants and dump them off up north. :) How far up north? They will flash freeze the minute you drop them on the ground. Or maybe they will scurry over to one of our 8 foot snowbanks and take their death pose there. ~~*NOT* a very nice kitty!~~ "Plan for the worst, hope for the best, and don't live in fear." |

I remember about 10 years ago there was a heat wave In The north east. 100 plus and folks were dropping dead. Hard to prepare for temps that aren’t supposed to happen in your area. |

Can’t move , can’t escape. The cold is so brutal and it’s ended thousands of us. May god have mercy on our souls Quoting: Lord of Pain For crying out loud go sit in your car, warm up an charge your phone. It's obvious that this is an "agent" gaslighting us. The nose knows.

Quoting: Lord of Pain I hope they turn on the power soon. Please god help Why don't you bugout to a heated location? Or heat one room with an alternate heat source. Or go sit in your car and run the engine to warm up and ponder why you are so ill prepared. |

Quoting: Lord of Pain I hope they turn on the power soon. Please god help Sounds like you're sleeping between cotton sheets. Much better to sleep between the blankets on top of the sheets. Dry socks are better to wear instead of damp socks that you've been in all day. Wear a loose fitting knit hat to bed. But by the sound of it, it is time that you should seek public assistance. “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |

And most likely you're dressed for the work too. You would be in the same predicament if you were working alone in the freezer, only one to come in for work that day, and something fell on you, trapping you inside. Eventually, hypothermia would set in. It's kinda sad, many of the comments to this thread took it as a joke. I've gone through stuff like this before. You come to the conclusion that if you wanna stay among the living, you have to keep on moving. OP should have called 911 and chatted with the dispatcher. But his situation worsened around 3 AM. It's likely that the OP went to sleep, and probably will wake up someplace else. “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |

And for the whiners here, anyone can get in a car and turn up the heat fill up empty bottles with hot water and put them in bed to warm up go to a convenience store and warm up call a friend or a relative take advantage of your county's "code blue" hot line call 911 build a fire outside and stand next to it take a warm bath turn the burner on or oven on and warm the place up be proactive and buy a Mr. Buddy heater or a generator And there's probably a thousand other things I didn't list to stay safe and warm. If OP didn't think of doing any of these things and he "froze to death in bed" then we got rid of one of the dumb ones. But, I don't think OP is dumb, he's a troll, and I enjoyed his thread immensely. |

I used to live on the gulf coast and after working in 100 degree temps with 100% humidity, going into a store a very chilling experience. My teeth would be chattering by the time I could get out of there. Another thing, Yanks would come down in the winter and say that our winters were colder and more miserable than back home due to the wind and rain I guess. |

I always thought you Texans were "tough". I thought that they were "real men". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80054151 Up North, its much worst for the "Yankees" and they are handling it just fine, and like real men. Whats wrong with "ya'll"? WHAT HAPPENED?? Soy milk happened. I agree. I have family members who would go up north on hunting trips in sub zero temps and stay in a canvas tent for weeks.im in north Carolina and I have sleeping bags rated at -40 just for this reason. I go camping in our coldest weather which I have seen sub temperatures with nothing but my tent and sleeping bag. I will say people who are unprepared will go to desperate means to stay warm and that is very dangerous just about everything that puts off heat also puts of carbon monoxide which will kill you in a hurry. |
