Stay warm.
Hopefully most are prepared.
The global warming preachers have duped people into complacency and that is very dangerous.
We need more energy output dammit. Get those windmills going and shovel the snow off the solar panels.
Because of the thermal lag built into the hydrosphere and atmosphere of this planet, and the tilt of its axis from squarely vertical, the last two weeks of January and the first two weeks of February are the coldest of the year in the Northern hemisphere. That is a given every year.
As the day lengthens and a greater portion of the Northern hemisphere gets warmed by solar radiation, the intensity of the cold recedes, until by about the last week or so of August and into early September, the average daily temperatures reach the maximum average for the year. But for the effects of the atmosphere and the surface waters, the temperatures would be at a minimum on the winter solstice and at the maximum at the summer solstice.
But for some, that natural cycle shall remain forever a mystery which they cannot grasp.
Took the dog out for it's morning {super quick} walk {dump and run} and it took me longer to dress than I was outside.
Longjohns, jeans and hunting pants, hunting boots that are good to -20, five layers and my "Chiller Killer" hunting coat, along with face coverings and great gloves, I was warm.
The dog was doubled layered with boots but sub-zero temperatures chase you indoors rather quickly.
Without wind, it's OK but if the wind kicks up to 10-15 mph, get inside if you can.
