What have done towards your prep?

[Mortblanc]

When dealing with you folks across the waters I generally convert the temps so they will match what you have grown accustomed to interpreting. So those temps were in C rather than F.

However, we do get temps in the same category when read in F. Not yet this year, but I am practicing my being miserable so I will be in good form when they arrive.

What is really impressive is that on a couple of occasions since I joined this illustrious group I have reached the point of the thermometer where the C and the F meet consensus and read the same temperature. It happens down around -40 or some absurd number at which electrons freeze and the internet sises up and has to be thawed by nanobots with small hair dryers.

Where I reside the temps fluctuate wildly, even day to day. I am abused by the movement of both continental and maritime systems which often gain an attitude as they travel.

Add the fact that I am in a funnel formed by the large and imposing Ohio River which channels air currents, heat waves, tsunamis, storm systems and arctic vortex thingies right over my house and I find my weather variable and entertaining.

And for all of that I have never been able to afford or install my one greatest and most coveted survival item, a tornado shelter.
