We don't do that here down in South Florida.

I got heaters going full blast.

It's predicted to drop to 28° here after midnight.
As long as we have no power outages all will be peachy.
Just in case I've located my sleeping bag and cold weather gear.

It would be lovely if Elder Esaias would check in.

My house doesn't have heat. We have heaters that we can pop on if by rare chance it drops below 60° . Other than that I hope my animals outdoors can weather the cold. I hope Elder Esaias signs back in to share some of his wisdom. Also let us to know if he is doing well dealing with the artic temperatures in Texas

I’m late to see this post. Hanging blankets over the windows can help with the cold chill.

If you don’t have enough heaters, at least try to keep your bathroom and your bedroom warm. The rest of the house can remain cold. Sleep with socks on if you can, I can not.

You’re not at the point yet where you need to let the faucet trickle.

My sister lined her windows with bubble wrap and then mylar blankets. She is using space heaters for heat. With below freezing temperatures she has been able to keep her place heated to close to 70°.

From what I understand two more cold fronts are coming after this one, so it still makes sense to insulate the windows of at least one room where you can use a space heater to keep warm.

The bedroom is 70°, rest of the house is 53°.
The animals outside are dealing with 34° lizards like iguanas are all messed up.

Two more? I thought we were going back to 80° on Tuesday? In Trinidad Tobago they have 80° this morning. Santo Domingo Dominican Republic it’s 71°. But our neighbor, the Bahamas is that 58°. Last night we were at the same temperature as Ogden Utah.

Right now it’s a beautiful 45° here, and 34° in Ogden.

39° there?

It’s 49° here in sunny south Florida.

It’s 30° in Ogden Utah right now.

We’re supposed to go up to 65° as the high.

This is from a weather site today:

Many areas in Florida are experiencing power outages due to record cold temperatures, impacting residents early this morning. Arctic air has gripped much of Florida over the last few days, setting record low temperatures - straining the electrical grid as residents try to keep warm. Temperatures will gradually warm up, reaching the 60s-70s by late Wednesday. Another cold front arriving late Wednesday into early Thursday could bring cooler air again Friday morning, though most areas should remain above freezing.

It's much warmer in south Florida then central Florida I'm sure.

Yesterday we installed a gym in a garage. While I was moving in and assembling a functional trainer it was about 40°F. I commented to the brother working with that usually it’s like a sauna in the garage while we are installing equipment. This is the first time we dealt with machine installation this cold.
