Record Cold Temperatures in the Pacific North West | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 68297636 Canada 12/24/2021 05:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People may laugh at that, but that has happened in the past, where a warming spike leads into a mini-ice age, because of the breakdown of the ocean currents when the glaciers melt off, causing the top and bottom of the planet to not get heat brought up to it. BS The earth has been warming for 12,000 years Now it’s going to cool for who knows how long Just look at the solar cycles Suit yourself, you are entitled to whatever flavor blue pill you desire, good sir!~ Anyway on topic.. The coldsnap here is happening tomorrow afternoon where the temp drops dramatically over the course of few hours christmas evening, with a potential -20 degree difference from average by sunday morning. It’s all good here we are camping here until Wednesday [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] [link to imgur.com (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2621281 United States 12/25/2021 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is going to be doomy and not mildly so. This is information is purely for educational purposes. This is an Arctic blast. We've had them before. According to Uncle Intel what makes this one different is the Cascade volcanoes are starting to wake up and I'm not talking Mt St Helens round two. The ground is staying warm but the air is cold. The snow falling will melt when it hits the ground and freeze, becoming an ice storm. The ice will do a lot of damage with more chances of power outages. Extensive power outages that last a long time to repair. So plan to be in the dark for a couple of weeks from this storm. Yes there's more to come, winter has just started. The volcanic activity will go into high gear in the middle of February. Shasta and those north are registering movement. OR's behemoth Axle Seamount has been swarming. Anyone down wind from these volcanoes can expect stormy weather. And again, not the cozy curl-up-by-the-fire kind; Record breaking winds, temps, rainfall and lightning kind of storms. Just a heads up. Situational awareness. Things can change in a New York's minute. Now back to your regular programming.. Have a safe and happy Holidays! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81624428 United States 12/25/2021 12:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am expecting about -15 to 20 below. Seriously, please have backup plans for power outage, frozen propane and water lines. A few tips if you cannot get wood heat. Insulate your propane tanks and fuel lines the very best you can, old blankets, water line foam caps, boxes for wind breaks, any and everything you can think of. Get some big rolls of mylar, any kind of emergency blankets and mylar wrap. Lots of candles and oil lamps, you can heat water and cook over them if done right. Stock up on water, leave it running more than a trickle on all water outlets, fill the bath tub for washing and flushing, have a bucket ready for a porta potty. Keep everyone in a small center room area together in a tented sleeping space. You know the drill. |

Keep next day clothes and shoes in your sleeping area to keep them a little warmer, and your drinking water. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81624428 United States 12/25/2021 01:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lived in a motorhome for a few winters in below 0. I never want to come close to that ever again. If forced into that of life and death situation again, would install a wood stove in any RV I had to spend the winter in, no matter how much it reduced resale value. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68353056 Canada 12/25/2021 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It got bad at times, nothing but candles and an oil lamp in a motor home to survive in sub zero. Snowed in, no power, no propane, no running water, no contact with outside world, everything frozen inside and out except the condensation dripping on your bedding. Hauling any supplies in on a sled and trekking though snow up to your waist. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81624428 I would have been better off in a hand built stick shelter with a wood fire pit. You are pretty crazy We have 4 brand new 6 volt batteries a brand new generac 3000 watt generator 50 gallons of gas 160 lbs of propane Our furnace blows into the lower compartments and keeps our water lines from freezing and our grey,black and fresh water tanks are wrapped with heating pads that work off the 12 volt system It’s only supposed to be really cold for a few days and then we will be back at our campground for 4 weeks and then out again for a week and then back in for 4 weeks by then winter should be done Merry Christmas to you all |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81624428 United States 12/25/2021 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not crazy, I survived a life and death situation. Got sick and lost everything, headed to the woods and survived with the bare minimum for a time in my life not knowing if I would make it from one day to the next. Determination and endurance got me through. |
