@Desertdi. Wow, it's not too late to pack a bag, head to the airport and fly to Miami.

Do you have an electric blanket?

@Kachina624

I inherited my mother's AND grandmother's Hudson's Bay Company™ blankets. A whole closet shelf full!!!

Last night, I slept in old jeans, t-shirt and sweatshirt...and covered myself in FOUR blankets. Had the heat pump running, PLUS a space heater... (Even my hair was COLD.)

@Kachina624 Yes, you would need one of those right now in this area.

I actually LOOKED for an electric blanket or throw last time we had freezing weather. I don't think they even sell them here. Came home from the store empty-handed! (Haven't had weather this cold in several years.)

Poor little plants, bet they didn't sign up for this. Pipes either. Stay safe.

@Desertdi. You could probably have an electric blanket delivered overnight from Amazon. Wish I had a Hudson Bay blanket.

Stay warm if you can.

I've deep-watered the yard, and covered plants and outdoor spigots. Luckily, the power grid is pretty good...we haven't had an outage in over 700 days.

YEAH...I should have ordered an electric blanket. But after the past two summers...I didn't "think" we'd ever see FREEZING again.... di

EEK! Thanks for the warning. I didn't get up until about 7pm, and missed the later forecast.

ONE good thing...even tho I no longer have any relatives left in Chicago, I SAVED some winter clothes(!!!) di

@Desertdi Strange weather! Love Hudson Bay blankets. We have some wool blankets I saved which were used in our cottage. I use them in shoulder seasons before the duvet goes on the bed in winter and comes off the bed in Spring.

@Desertdi. Oops that second cold front was for TODAY. I can't keep up it seems. High here of 38° today and windy, feels very cold. Snow in mountains but no moisture for us.

Here's what you need, maybe a big Maine Coon Cat?

@Kachina624

You were RIGHT the FIRST TIME. I just looked at the extended forecast....and it drops way down on Sun the 19th!!!! di

Desertdi — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 17:26:46 GMT

@Kachina624

I do believe THREE CATS would be the right amount! (And I would dump the "old man"...they just steal the blanket away from you...)

PS: According to the a.m. weather report, it was 31° in Paradise Valley this morning...and I had the "bright idea"...that this might be a good time to go to Walmart.

The store was E M P T Y except for the cashiers!

I actually enjoyed my shopping trip...well--except for the fact that I was wearing so much clothing that I was bumping into things.....
