I'm like zero? What's the panic about?  It's like -20F here, right now. Then I re-read and realize that if it's so unusual for you guys you aren't as prepared for it as we are. As far as I am concerned, take your time and don't stress over answers. Waiting a day or two more won't be a catastrophe and posts are always better when rested, rather than exhausted. *hugs*<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yeah, that's the thing - a lot of places being hit by severe cold down here are not 'used' to it. I mean, my family is in the mid-west, and they are pretty used to it. Heck, I lived in Alaska and used to play outside as a kid in -60 temps. Obviously my parent's plot to get rid of me did not work. Heh.<br/><br/>So for me, hearing people go on about "OMG it's almost 0 outside", I kinda shrug. But for a lot of folks, they may never have -seen- such temps in their lifetime. I definitely wish them the best.<br/><br/>I'm just waiting for the oil companies to take advantage of it though. They always do.<br/><br/>-ark
