Be safe

To all my American friends, I hope you are okay:

A ‘once in a generation’ winter storm will impact nearly every state and cripple Christmas travel

This is me.

Just be safe and warm! I hope your journey won't get cancelled, but Safe And Warm is the most important part.

We're doing okay! The windchills are crazy, but we're tucked up inside a warm house.

[elisi]

That is good to know. I hope people will be okay.

It might be my coldest Christmas here in Florida and I've been here for decades. Though hopefully, we're mostly staying indoors.

Hope it's easing off now. <3

We didn't get much snow, but the temperatures are around 0F, with terrible wind chill. I have no reason to leave the house, thankfully.

[elisi]

I shall not complain about the rain we have had here then! :)

Yes, given how bad air travel is these days and how often we're getting terrible weather around the holidays, I'm not sure I ever want to travel during one again.

[elisi]

I hear ya. The furthest we are going is a few miles across town to my sister-in-law's. :)

I got to my parents' house last night right before they started canceling all the flights. I feel very, very lucky. I'm very, very worried about the unhoused right now.

Glad you arrived safely, and really hope something has been put in place for the homeless... I know that here they open shelters when it drops below 0 (that's 0 C!), which is better than nothing.

I waiting to see how bad off the Texas power grid is through this. Granted, I have an advantage of the fact that my parents' house is close enough to a hospital zone that it counts as being on part of that electric grid- so that way I barely have to worry about our power shorting out.

Ooof, Texas. I remember all the issues last time. :( Glad your parents will be okay.
