It’s not much fun living in a “winter wonderland” if it’s too cold to go out and enjoy it. Add power failures into the mix and you have a recipe for emergency situations.
The Grand Solar Minimum is being blamed for this “polar vortex”, but regardless of what is causing it, we have to live with it.
This video discusses the issue, which could be considered a crisis if folks are not able to deal with it safely.
The note below addresses heating your home in plummeting temperatures folks may find helpful. (comes from an East Coast company) I would imagine HVAC companies will be overtaxed dealing with furnaces that have a mal, and there could be pipes that burst, cars that won’t start, school closures, burgeoning homeless shelters, all kinds of interesting scenarios many have never had to deal with before. Being Canadian I’ve been there… done that. Don’t miss it—except at Christmas.
This record-breaking system isn’t strictly a North America problem; it’s widespread and everyone needs to be prepared to deal with all sorts of “new” challenges.
I won’t tell you how nice it is here in Arizona.
Good luck, stay safe everyone, and remember to check in on the elderly and disadvantaged. ~ BP

I own a heating company and wanted to share this for all.
Monday night through Thursday we all will experience temperatures and wind chills that our homes’ heating systems are NOT designed for. -20 to -30-degree temperatures with wind chills into -40 and up to -50+.
Newer homes will struggle to maintain temperature and older homes will NOT maintain temperature and the temperature WILL drop while the heating system is working at full capacity.
1. Please raise the temperature in your home on Monday, 2 to 4 degrees above your normal setting.
2. Take all programmable thermostats out of setback mode and set on a permanent HOLD.
3. If you have a furnace; replace the filter.
4. Keep garage doors closed.
5. Limit opening exterior doors.
6. Make sure air vents and radiators are not blocked or obstructed.
7. If you have a 90%+ furnace and boiler: You must keep the intake and exhaust clear of ice and snow. During these cold temperatures, ice can build up. A 90%+ furnace and boiler have 2 white PVC pipes; an exhaust pipe and an intake pipe that are generally on the side or back of your home. In some instances, they are on your roof, do NOT go on your roof to clear the pipe.
If the temperature in your home is dropping and your radiators are HOT with boiler systems or you have HOT air coming out of your vents with furnaces DO NOT PANIC. Please make sure that your heating system continues to operate.
If the temperatures drop in your home, it will not be able to recover until temperatures rise and the windchill diminishes. Our heating systems cannot overcome temperatures -20 to -30 with wind chill up to -50+. They are sized to operate at 0 degrees outdoors. Put your thermostat on hold 70 degrees or higher.
To help minimize temperature loss you can boil water, make soup, or stews; they help introduce humidity and warmer temperatures into your home. DO NOT USE YOUR OVEN or a GRILL TO HEAT YOUR HOME. Please check on neighbors and elderly residents during these extreme temperatures. Stay warm and safe this week and share this email with any of your family and friends.
Here in the Midwest we have record lows around -50 with wind chill it’s nasty. Then this weekend it’s supposed to be 40 above 3 days later. Odd weather patterns if you ask me…
Beyond odd weather patterns, CAP. Mike Morales and others show us all the NEXRAD and HAARP activity shaping the landscape of our weather patterns. MM says we’re getting summer patterns that should not be occurring in winter at all.
I have to add that as powerful multidimensional beings of light having the human experience, Always protect your space by surrounding it with the white light of love from within. Just speaking these words & knowing you are Protected is all that is needed hugs;-)
you are the best. thank you for this very thoughtful post. strangely enough, up here in toronto, we are not supposed to be seeing what most of middle america is, so please do be careful.
may God bless us all and keep us safe and warm,
Number One didn’t want to go out.

For the record here in Manitoba Canada ,today the high temp is -30 C and -37 C for a low predicted for tonight.
I also see online we are being bombarded with even more toxic Chemtrails in various cities now worldwide. They are not going down easily and they are getting more vicious daily Trump said he will stop it but so far it does not look like it. I saw it here heavily in the Detroit area recently and it was very heavy.
Hello Nancy…. from another Nancy in Saginaw. Once in a while I see chemtrails here. Perhaps because the weather is so unpredictable for pilots? Smaller population? From all my intel, Trump will put the hammer down at SOTU on Feb. 5th. If you follow Q, it’s time to get your popcorn and enjoy the show! Stay warm and healthy!
