I’m freezing so bad I’m shaking and can barely move - power outage

You HAVE to move. It's what is going to keep you warm. The blood circulation must be kept going. Also, put on several layers of clothing, like 2 pullovers over your shirt. And a cap on your head, the head is where most of the body heat is lost. If you don't have enough clothes are no clothes that can protect you against the cold, put a few newspaper sheets between your shirt and your pullover. This is very effective at isolating you and keeping you warm, you will be surprised.

If you want to get your temperature up by moving, keep breathing in a relaxed way. You don't need to make wide movement, but see to it that you tense and relax muscles alternatively at a fast rhythm.

And of course you need a lot of calories, but not just empty calories, your body needs vitamins and other micronutrients in order to keep functioning well.

Soy milk happened.

This is true. Here in Finland we have quite cold and snowy winters and I have been sleeping in wilderness in a sleeping bag countless times in freezing temperatures (even in under -30 Celsius).

My experience regarding that is that it is very important to to take of the clothes - like the poster above said, to keep the body warm.

One can test this by sleeping in a room or a place which is a little colder than usual; try one night with long sleeve shirt and pants, and other night naked or with boxers or something similar. The result with a normal person is always the same: with clothes it will get cold and without it will be easier to cope with the lower temperature.

Most Cities in Texas don't have snow plows.

The roads are covered in ice and snow and with power off it is hard to tell where the road is in some places.

Biden shut off the gas to punish Texas.

Yes, almost 100% of the homes built since the 70's.

You need to think like a Jedi. Find a big fatty, take um down. Cut them open and crawl in.

OP Do you have any candles? Any size of them at all will do. Go in the Bathroom, its the smallest room. Light all the candles, put them on relflctive side up Aluminum Foil to get more energy. Do you have any wool clothing at all? It is totally the best for warmth, next is flannel. Put on this stuff loosely so it traps the body heat. Wear a hat as 90 % of body heat escapes through the head.

Get some water and drink it often to keep hydrated.Rubbing your arms and legs for circulation. Also get up and do jumping jacks or run in place till you feel warm, but NOT sweaty.
Open the door every once in a while to get fresh air in. DO NOT bring in a bar-b-que or any such thing because it consumes oxygen and there's a fire danger. Let your kitchen water run a slender bit or the pipes will freeze. Dont drink or eat anything cold, you must protect the core body temp. If you feel sleepy only sleep if your candles are in a safe area and you have tons of blankets. Pray. If you can, ask on face book if someone will send an ambulance as you are in the beginning stages of hypothermia.

pass out in your car....

:POWEROUTRAGE:

Biden shut off the Gas?

Sit in your car

Most houses do not have fire wood, unless you are up in Amarillo.

Our winters are mild, not prepared for what we have here. New homes have no fireplaces mostly.

So no, must don't.

We do not have basements in Texas either. Because of our type of soil.

Don't worry will have a nice warm body bag waiting for your corpse in the morning

This is just the beginning. Biden has big plans to kill the power grid by end of Feb. Why do you think Trudeau wants everyone back in Canada before Feb 22nd?? So they can get some power grid failure. Everything has been planned carefully by NWO.

I've always thought of Texas as baking hot, wtf?

I feel sorry for OPie. Hypothermia is the worst thing.
I have gone through it.

Could be blood circulation problem in the body.
I hope he can get out of this asap.

Should not stay alone. Get together with neighbours in the area. A family with children. Share the misery with others.

Don't stay on your own.

Fight it as a group. You will make new friends.

You are probably all equipped with -30°C sleeping bags, the same as those who climb the highest summits in the Himalayas.

They cost a mint but they are a good investment these days.

Sit in your (a) car with the heat on & charge your phone. Wear lots of thin layers. Cook and/or bake if you have a gas stove-that will warm up the house, fast. Get under the blankets with your significant other and enjoy the warmth, lol.

Warmth at any cost. Burn anything you have, no matter how precious.

Got fatty food around no matter how disgusting? Pure grease and fat, cheese, chocolate, bacon, nuts or anything ultra high in calories? You need calories.

Tinfoil? No joke. Wrap yourself up in it.

Kind of ironic your name is lord of pain, anyway prayers hope this outage comes to quickest end possible.

:)

Why don't you have a fireplace at least? I'd have a fireplace, even if I lived in tropical climate ;)

Troll

You've got to keep moving. Never lie down.

Been through arctic training in the military. Death awaits those who stay down.

ALWAYS have a secondary heating source that does NOT require power. Wood stove, fire place. Don’t you GLP, bruh?

OP get some newspaper, magazines, paper whatever and put them under your clothes all over your body and feet, specially feet and torso, back and chest. Cover your head well, move, even if you are sitting, move your arms and legs, give your arms and legs little slaps.

Yes they are. I bought two before moving up in the mountains. If the power goes off here on a Friday, they won't fix it until Monday. The bags are about worn out. Everybody should get one for each member of the family and be prepared next time.
