Arctic blast scare reminds us to be prepared for a grid down survival event

There's no way to know for sure if this forecast will emerge, but one of the weather models is predicting an insane arctic blast across much of the USA by Jan 16th. If it unfolds as this weather model believes, most of Texas will be below minus 25 (F). (Yes, that's -25.) Kansas will be in the -30s, Idaho in the -40s, etc.

Most of Oregon will be at -30 or colder, and nearly the entire state of Washington will be around -30 as well. Florida will be at around 15 degrees (F), which will destroy most orchards.

We pray this weather model forecast is wrong, and it's still more than a week away so things can change between now and then. But either way, it's a reminder to get prepared for extreme cold weather, power grid failures, burst water pipes, closed grocery stores, and all the rest.
