Stay safe out there y'all - remember that space heaters and blankets are your friends!
Also remember to keep the faucets dripping; it helps prevent frozen pipes!

FOX13 Memphis: State of Emergency extended another week for Memphis, mayor says
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Temperatures are beginning to warm up and the snow and ice are finally leaving us, but Memphis Mayor Paul Young has extended the State of Emergency for Memphis another week. 
The State of Emergency was originally issued on January 15 as inches of snow blanketed the city. The order will now last until at least January 29, 2024.  
"The freezing temperatures and precipitation created icy conditions on roadways and surfaces within the City and presented a significant danger to public safety, impacted the operation of emergency vehicles, and impeded the delivery of essential goods and services, the effects of which are still ongoing," Mayor Young wrote in his order to extend the State of Emergency. 
The frigid weather first led to a water conservation order from Memphis, Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) and eventually to a boil water advisory for all MLGW water customers. 
MLGW said that, as of Monday, January 22, the utility company has fixed more than 56 broken water mains and responded to more than 4,000 customers that reported broken pipes.

...The town near me is charging children 2 dollars to wear a beanie or hoodie to wear to school to stay warm. Some places in my state are in the negative temperatures....I hate it here.
What??

They’re making children pay to stay warm?!
That’s disgusting! Oh that pisses me off so much! That is NOT OKAY!

"These frozen smoke belchers are Minnesota school buses that were set for a retrofit with diesel engines in 2012. New evidence, however, from a small town in Colorado suggests that another retrofit is needed—to electric motors and batteries.
That’s because the West Grand School District is finding that in the frigid winter temps of -30°F, their electric buses outperformed their diesel-powered ones, both in running costs and reliability.
EV skeptics and critics are quick to mention the reduced range of a battery pack when exposed to such brutal temperatures, but no Minnesotan or Coloradoan needs reminding about those especially cold mornings when the car won’t start.
Kremmling Colorado is one of the coldest towns in the country, and the school district that encompasses this hamlet of 1,500 people was able to begin using an electric bus in their fleet starting in 2020 thanks to grants from the EPA, along with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
“What we are seeing is that these buses are doing great in cold weather they still maintain a battery charge even when it’s cold,” said Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) representative, Casey Becker.
OTHER EV NEWS: Number of Electric School Buses More than Doubled in the U.S. in Past Year
“It averages 26 cents per mile and the diesel buses, just for fuel not including oil changes, filters, lubes, is 58 cents per mile,” said West Grand County School District Director of Transportation, Bethany Aurin.
Becker told Fox 9 News [Note: Video at link!] that there will be a total of 49 electric school buses heading to nine Colorado School Districts, including four in Summit County and three in Steamboat Springs."
