We rarely get winter storms here that are labeled "life threatening."
It seems this one is going for broke to earn that title. And it's going to affect a huge portion of the U.S.
PLEASE, Everyone, take this storm seriously and take proper precautions. This isn't just a run-of-the-mill Midwestern storm. This thing is a monster.
**Bring your pets indoors!! The wind chill is going to be deadly.
**Have plenty of food and water on hand.
**Be ready for power outages.
**Keep all warm blankets and clothing to hand.
**Look after your neighbors and the elderly, whether you're close to them or not.
**Be careful with indoor space heaters. We've had at least two or three reports of house/building fires in our region already due to those things.
**Keep your cellphone charged in case you have an emergency.
**Stay off the roads if you can.
The snow doesn't bother me as much as the wind and the dangerous cold does. It's not to be taken lightly.
Dear Lord, please protect us all.
