The Organic Prepper In recent weeks, and even last year, we have seen some severe winter weather. Last year, Texas and parts of the deep South got hit with a winter storm that took out parts of the electrical grid. During this time, some reports trickled in of how the Texas grid was just minutes away from a total collapse. Just recently I had 14 inches of snow in one night. Negative 20 degree temps (i.e. 20 degrees below zero) hit my home the other day.
Then there was Daisy’s daughter, Rachel and her BF, getting stuck on I-95 for 16 hours.
As I write this, another major winter storm is expected to hit the East coast all the way from New England down to Greensboro, NC. (For that matter, the National Weather Service in Miami, is warning the Arctic air mass could reach as far down as Florida.) Long Island could see up to 18 inches of snow. New York City? 12 inches. While that is a lot of snow, what is also in the forecast is high winds. Those conditions are more likely for us to have a power outage, one that could be for a prolonged period of time…
