| Day and half of snow, it's now -9F, with winds, feel like -25 outside. Windows are all covered up with ice. I can't barely see the house across from us. | |

| it's called the "Beast from the East" here, we are in it from a week ago and weather map shows few more days it's the Antarctic freeze mixed with Siberian wind that's why the - 11 C you feel it like - 19 C think my gas bill will be cosmic:facepalm | |

| The beast just came for a flying visit here (Scotland), although it did hit -23c in Braemar a few days ago. We are now up at +7 and getting continuos lows coming in off the Atlantic for the forseeable, so it's rain and wind for us. | |

| I'm back. Water and Gas and Electric and Internet went out. No Heat. We were in the house Monday and Tuesday and finally we were able to get a hotel Wednesday night. It was 25 in the house and the only heat was the fireplace and we all gathered around it and slept in front of it. Just got home. Last edited by jaxe on 2021-03-08 17:04:00 | |

| Then you know how cold it was. I lay down on the bed in bedroom thats 25 degrees and bed felt like block of ice even with 2 layers of thick comforters over me. F this. Better off laying on floor in front of fireplace. Also my phone had 100% battery on Monday and by Tuesday morning it was dead. | |

| But the electric, gas, water, internet should not all go out cause of a cold snap. That's poor equipment. It doesn't happen in other places that are cold all the time during the winter. | |

| Thank you everyone for the kind words. If we didn't get that hotel by luck on Wednesday and had to stay here for 3 more days, we would had died and people have died. Running out of firewood. Nothing to eat. We ate the few cans of veggies and beans and Campbell soup we had, iced cold. No Sleep. Last edited by jaxe on 2021-02-20 21:03:32 | |

| I see 6 days with no internet I didn't miss any good movies. We were lucky to come home to no damage. One of our friend was out of town with his family. They couldn't get back. No flights. Roads closed. This is what he found when he returned: The good news is he rents so he won't have to deal with the hassle of the repair and calling insurance company. His landlord is letting his end the rental without penalty. The bad news is many of his stuff will be heading for the trash and he has no renter insurance. | |
