#4 Notice as this years cold has hit the Midwest and Plains, no one is talking about a delayed planting season. Too non-urban to be of concern I'm sure.

#5 Hey Tornado Baits (myself included):
Good time to check out your emergency kit and smoke detectors (that's for everyone). Its still too early to switch out cold weather gear for warm weather gear but close; I get the feeling there will be snow problems for another month.

Something handy to have for this age is the solar charger. Plan for being out of services for 7 days - medicine, food, socks and undies. Especially water. Available are nifty pint and quart size puncture resistant water packets - check emergency boating supplies. About the only place more isolated than the high plains would be a boating accident - its the right stuff so check it out.

Includes flood plainers, fire evac, and you earthquaker Oklahomans.

#6 I believe the '87 winter was the subject of a Laura Ingels Wilder book.

#7 Well, we are back down to 0F in Alaska. Welcome to spring.

But on a serious note, we keep our emergency stuff in good order. Lose natural gas and electricity during an earthquake in winter and you better have a plan B and C in the pocket.

#8 a recurrence of the 1886-87 winter would be more proof of ~~carbon-burning anthropomorphic-global warmening~~ weather

#11 Well due to viruses it looks like there is going to be a shortage of pork and chicken, so along with a beef shortage food prices will take another hit. What next radioactive fish....TAPCO leaks...uhm never mind. "John Ringo call your office."
