110

If this forecast holds, the infrastructure damage from this storm is going to be catastrophic, potentially worse than a category 5 hurricane. People will be without power for weeks or potentially months and the roads will be completely impassable with downed trees and power lines.

Any comrades in these areas, please do your best to stay safe and warm. Stock up on some non-perishable food if you still have time.

Quick pro tip for people in this place who haven't had to deal with cold like this before: be careful with your layering of clothing, especially if you're expecting to move around a lot. If you layer up a shitload and then start exercising (walking long distances, lifting lots of heavy stuff, etc) you will sweat so much that your clothes get wet, and then when you stop moving you will freeze. If you're expecting to do exercise try to strip your layers down to just whatever keeps the windchill off, or at least have dry base layer replacements on hand.

Dang, I'd probably die on day 1 of freezing temps, because I sweat like a motherfucker very easily
