Severe Weather Check-in!

It's 10 degrees here in NJ right now, temps dropping to -1 later tonight. I went out today to set up some more shelters for the feral cat colony that has adopted me, and to make sure they had food. I'm very concerned about them in this weather and I just hope they'll use the shelters.

Thursday night's storm could have been worse but it did dump a bunch of snow in RI. At least, where I am. The wind was really bad so the drifts were super high. Nothing like having to fight your way out of your own door. lol

Last night was colder, in the negatives. I think it said between -4 and -14. The wind gusts are still super frigid and I believe that our shelters and churches are also open. There are wind chill alerts all over.

So glad for a little respite today from the worst of the weather systems here in my little corner of the north west, although the gales are meant to be back with us tomorrow.

The seafront in my home town yesterday. No properties were flooded.

I'm hearing the scrape of snow plows down on the street and there's a snow drift on my balcony. I'm wearing a sweater and down vest, UGGs and a knit hat, about to turn the heat back on. Yesterday the sun was so bright through my windows it made the apartment hot. Somehow it gets amplified in the process. I wish they would invent a window that functioned as a solar panel.

Net-Zero building technology development is slowly becoming part of a reveloutionary way for buildings to become 'stand-alone' projects (generating their own power supply) thanks to innovative technological developments in engineering communities within the domain of industries committed to Sustainability.

I can't imagine the low temperatures some of you are dealing with. Poor things!

I've no experience below the lower teens.

Keep posting!
Thanks.

Raining then suppose to turn to snow later. Then get down to 3 degrees tonight and even colder tomorrow night. That's unusually cold for around these parts.
