Far S.E. part of Oklahoma isn't all that warm either.

JimT,

Sounds like we've got about the same weather you're having. May get as low as 10-12° here tonight, highs in the mid 20 during the day tomorrow. According to the weather reports, we're in for about a 3-4 day run of it. Hopefully, I've got all the bases covered when it comes to the necessities.

We had a similar round of cold about the same as the one we're going into about 3-4 years back. We came through it okay here at my place, but a lot of others didn't. People were driving 100 plus miles trying to get PVC fittings and lengths of pipe. Add to that, the town installed radio read water meters over the past 10 years made out of a composite body.There's more metal in a Ruger LCP than one of those meters, I helped install a lot of. Add to the house lines that froze and burst, about 100+ water meters that froze up and the bottoms blew out of. I sure felt for my former coworkers. Praying for a better outcome for all this go around.
