Negative numbers are coming into next week negative 23 (only negative 1. Tonight ) ... never been this cold
Before , I hope the heater and blankets will be adequate to deal with this . If I have to will sit in a warm bath or shower ? Temperature numbers are courtesy of local news . And my yard thermometer , these temperatures do not include wind effects.

It’s going to be very cold in your area for a while. Sometimes below zero Fahrenheit. Never above 15 Fahrenheit.

Minus 23 Celsius, rather than Minus 23 Fahrenheit. Still quite cold, though.

You should run the water in your faucet at a trickle, so your pipes don’t freeze (like somebody else pointed out).

How is the heat in your home?

Those were Fahrenheit conversions , thank you kraftie .... already warned about leaving faucets trickling .
The heater is working hard . Sort of a chronic chill in the air . Am figuring can always help myself with a warm bath or shower . Just had to go out to pay overdue bill . And thought had already paid it , and got very cold being outside
Inbetween car and offices or store . For just a few moments .

Global frostbite is how it feels .

Be safe.
Be smart about the harsh weather.
Be warm, however much warm is possible.

Looks like the harshness has hit here too.
I am not going to our local creative writers group meeting this morning.
Since my decision is already made I haven't looked to see if it might be canceled or not.
Am staying home, staying inside, working on model trains, playing with my cats.

We've hit a cold snap too, though it's not nearly as cold as yours. Wearing layers definitely helps. Brrr. Stay warm!
