It’s cold here but parts of china are freezing
It’s really cold here, and it’s annoying, but not life threatening. I enjoy warmth everywhere I go, and I stay inside most of the winter. In China however there has been news of a massive winter storm that has stopped fuel and transportation to many rural places and there are lots of people in need of transit and fuel to say warm in the middle of the winter. That’s gotta be scary, the last time we had a bad ice storm I was able to drive 20 minutes and find civilization with plenty of warm heat and electricity, even though it was out at home. I feel for anybody who does not have the means to get to warm when it is really cold outside. it seems that some of the most beautiful real estate on the planet has limited access when it comes to major utilities responding in an emergency. With that in mind, when I get my dream home in the woods, I’m going to be prepared for spending several weeks without electricity if the need arises.
