Polar Vortex Preparations

I can't be exactly sure what is in my storage tanks, so I filled the GMC up with station Diesel while in town. That should be temperature/formula correct. Equipment not working is one thing, but ones truck has to be reliable.

It's one thing to have to walk a ways to the house in the cold weather, but getting stranded when you may not be able to get someplace warm isn't good.

Mine is in the garage and ready to do nothing. I find it funny the news and everyone on social media is blowing this out of proportion. It seems ridiculous.

My sister got a ticket in Brownsburg for going 45 in a 55 zone. It was snowing and the cop said she was driving too fast for the conditions. Your area shuts down with 3" of snow. We laugh at anything south of U.S. 30. :laughing:

Yeah I would be the same way but we have horses.....

Yeah.... they'd give you the old eyball look for that, I'm sure.

I recall going to a dairy farm over off of 23 and Crumstown HWY the last time it was this cold. I'd never been in a dairy barn before. It was warm in there. I never new cows had high temps compared to humans.

Back in the day it was called WINTER..Folks crap there pants if we get more than 4 inches of snow or its below zero..

Most logic Ive read tonight. It seems that there is always cause for alarm. Common sense no longer rules.

I can't say I mind winter. Major cold, not so nice. But carrying all that extra clothing in the vehicle is a pain. Always the contingencies. You wear light boots and a jacket to go into town, but bring heavy winter gear just in case. Then take it all out when back at home.

And don"t forget the folks that run to the supermarket and clear the shelves thinking they might starve to death.LOL...

One million pounds of brine sprayed on the streets of Atlanta yesterday. Minor protection for this blistering frigid cold blast with temps plummeting to 23*. Schools shut down for this week for sure.

Makes me yearn for good ole' warm Texas winters of record setting 32*.

The Village of McLean solved the problem

I did add, "Today" to your comment just for clarification.
