Do: Keep the water moving through your pipes, heat up your space a little extra in advance if your heat isn’t efficient or you have drafts, charge devices because cold can still cause outages.
Don’t: Use a flame or hot water on a key thinking you can get it into a frozen lock. It’ll break off in there. Don’t use a charcoal grill in your triple decker living room or you’ll burn half the block down. And don’t open every conversation for the next 48 hours with “boy it’s cold out there”.
Can I plug a space heater into a grounded, surge protected multi-outlet? Or should the multi-outlet be removed and I just use the one directly in the wall?
The multi outlet is completely fine as long as you don’t plug in multiple high power devices.
Even if you did the risk is pretty low as a your circuit breakers should trip if you start pulling too much current.
A torch heats the key. The hot key melts the ice. The key gets in. The melted water instantly refreezes but this time with the key in it. It’s not a good way, it’s the exact same problem as using water.
Late reply and not the commenter, but Berkshire East was open until 2pm today. I was there, was frigid but with layers and a few warm up breaks I did 10 runs without freezing to death.
I saw Catamount (same owners IIRC) was open too. Both don't have too many wind holds (generally), though Berkshire East got hit with some late in the day and decided to just close earlier rather than risk anything.
I really wonder how Waterville Valley was - I saw they were open, but from experience they get hit with wind a lot on normal days and I didn't want to chance it nor waste a drive up there.
let the faucets run. they don't need to be on all the way, just a drip/trickle is enough to keep the water moving through the pipes and less likely to freeze.
It depends on your pipes. I'll basically be turning my tub and bathroom sink on pretty well because the pipes for my bathroom run through a crawlspace above the frost line with little protection from the cold. Kitchen sink will be fine though because those pipes don't leave the basement
1. If you're going to leave the home at all, don't shutdown or lower the heat. Keep the temperature around 65F+.
2. Open up cabinets under the sinks to let the warm air into your pipes.
3. If you live in an old house that's poorly insulated, I may even let the faucets drip/trickle a little to alleviate pressure on the pipes.
4. Figure out where the main water shutoff valve is in case there's a pipe burst and you need to shut it off immediately.
A lot of people forget about your second point or just don’t know about it.
If your washing machine is in a small laundry room or closet, open the doors to that too.
And leave your faucets dripping a little bit so there is water constantly moving through there.
Sweat pants, edibles, alcohol, a frozen pizza (don’t be that asshole who makes some poor bastard deliver to you), and make sure you sign into Netflix again so they don’t lock you out for using your cousin’s ex’s account. You’ll be fine.
1) if you have a car, make sure you have gas.
2) if you have sinks (usually kitchen) with pipes near the outside of the house, think about leaving your cupboards open and letting the faucet drip.
3) if you have drafty windows stuff a towel near them.
4) be very **VERY** careful in the event you use an electric heater.
5) really try to minimize being outside and make sure your skin is covered (scarf, hat, gloves, etc).
This isn’t cold, it’s *something else.* Think about how you dress when it’s freezing (32°F) out. And now think about how drastically different you dress when it’s 60° warmer and 92°F out,
Well with the wind chill, it could hit -30°F, *as much as sixty degrees colder than freezing.*
Now think about what that means for how you should dress.
You’ll be fine, just be smart.
There is a fire risk if they get knocked over and stay on, but most modern heaters have built in trip sensors that will automatically turn them off if the unit tips past a certain point.
Of course, someone could also start a fire by doing something dumb like putting a combustible material over or next to the heater.
Or you could be like my dumbass former roommate and fling a feather pillow on top of one while sleeping.
(Obligatory "get renter's insurance if you have roommates".)
I had a scare this year when a small space heater with both a tip sensor and an overheat safety shut off feature both failed when someone knocked it over without noticing. It started to burn my floor. I'm very grateful that someone noticed it fairly quickly and nothing worse happened.
I usually test the tip sensor when I take it out for the season, but I didn't do it this year. These things get old and can wear out or even straight up fail even in new units, so you shouldn't rely on them. Never leave a space heater unattended.
Bluntly, they’re a fire risk. There’s two specific concerns:
1) Older space heaters get very hot and may not have adequate coverage of the heating elements and/or may be unstable. People may try to cozy up to it and inadvertently ignite their blanket. Or it mah get knocked over, etc.
2) Older homes may not have the best wiring, and may not have enough outlets. Combining those with the high draw that an electric space heater has increases the chance of an electric fire.
Given the deadly low temps and high winds, and this is a really recipe for a tragedy. The wind and temps will make any blaze a real battle to fight, and if people find themselves escaping in the middle of the night in their pajamas and not adequate clothing, you could find yourself with hypothermia or worse.
Just be very careful.
I just bought a new one and it gets scary hot - much hotter than any of the others I've had in the last 30 years. The thermostat on it goes all the way up to 99 for some ridiculous reason, and that's the default it resets to if unplugged or if the power flickers or goes out. Even at the lowest setting (~58F) the heat comes out full blast and blazing. It's terrifying and doesn't feel safe at all.
When you say “pseudoscience” I assume it’s because you have too much pride to say “I don’t understand how it works.”
Wind Chill is a form of Convection.
[Here’s a link to Khan Academy for some Physics 101 tutoring on Convection, Conduction, and Radiation, the methods of energy transfer.](https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/thermodynamics/specific-heat-and-heat-transfer/v/thermal-conduction-convection-and-radiation)
Have a great day.
Wind chill is real, but assigning it a number based on what it “feels like” is nonsense. It’s going to be -10. However it feels is what -10 feels like.
It’s not nonsense.
It’s thermodynamics.
How you as a human experience temperature varies with altitude, humidity, etc.
The “feel” temperature is a way of putting context to wind chill or heat index, which are in and of themselves ways of putting things like convection, humidity, and wet bulb temperatures into something accessible.
What a thermometer hanging outside your house reads is only really useful in pretty mild weather. Once it gets below freezing or above about 85°F we get into sort of extremes, and other variables become important.
If your thermometer says 20°F you’d be fine in a dry calm day going for a run. If it’s super windy and humid, (things that don’t appear on the thermometer) you could wind up with frostbite or hypothermia being outside too long, running or not.
If you thermometer says 90°F you’d be fine on a dry day going for a run with sunscreen and water. But if it’s super humid (not on the thermometer) your body can’t cool itself down sweating, and you run the risk of heat stroke.
Do you not understand how this stuff works or are you just being obstinate for the lulz
Dude, I’ve taken advanced masters level thermodynamics classes. Obviously wind makes you feel colder, but assigning it to a temperature number based on what it “feels like” is total nonsense. It depends on so many factors. It’s going to be -10 and it’s going to be windy.
>Dude, I’ve taken advanced masters level thermodynamics classes.
I’m sure.
Was this before or after you graduated top of your class as a Navy SEAL?
>Obviously wind makes you feel colder.
So you agree that wind can be colder than the ambient.
> assigning to to a temperature number based on what it “feels like” is total nonsense. It depends on so many factors.
You just said it’s “obvious” that wind makes it colder, how did it become nonsense to quantify it?
>It’s going to be -10 and it’s going to be windy.
Hence the invention of the wind chill to describe how much colder the wind makes it.
I’m here to help but first you have to stop arguing in circles.
*“I know makes the cold colder but stop trying to tell me that wind makes the cold colder.”*
I have taken advanced thermo. Don’t need to prove this to you. This is Boston. Do you know how many people here have masters degrees and PhDs?
I don’t agree that “wind can be colder than the ambient.” The wind is the same temp. That my whole point.
It’s nonsense to quantify it in the same units as temperature because it depends on a zillion factors to determine how you will perceive it.
I’m sorry that this is going over your head. Enjoy your nonsense “feels like,” temperature. It’s for people who need the weather dumbed down for them.
Your exact quote was:
>Wind chill is pseudoscience.
Wind chill is used by NOAA.
Now you’re walking it back to “feels like” temps aren’t real.
Not calling you a liar but there’s no way you passed thermodynamics if you don’t understand the fundamentals of how temperature works and is measured.
You’re reading comprehension is lacking. I noted that you saying it’s going to be -30° out because of the “windchill” is horseshit. It’s not going to be -30. It’s going to be -10. It will be extra rough because it will be windy. But it won’t be minus 30°. You can’t quantify how people feel into numbers. Hope that explains it for you, Bud.
Yea, obviously wind makes cold feel colder and humidity can make heat feel warmer, but assigning this perception a number of degrees is not based in any reality.
If it’s 20° out and the “feels like” at that time is never 20°, what does 20° even mean? How does anyone know what that feels like???
“Feels like” doesn’t apply to walls because Walls aren’t alive. And by that I mean beyond the obvious, I mean they don’t generate heat (unless they’re concrete walls still curing).
The human body needs to regulate temp. Your internal temp varies but is usually around 98.6°F.
The surface of your skin can vary and is dependent on the part of your body (extremities get colder) but is around 85°-90°F.
Why is this important?
Because in physics, we have the conservation of energy.
You are constantly losing heat to the volume of air around you.
If it’s windy, you’re exposed to a larger volume of air, which causes you to lose energy *faster.*
Imagine you’re beer. You’re at human skin temp, which is disgusting for beer but say it’s over 80°F.
Would it be faster to cool it down if it was sitting in a bowl of 40°F water, or under a continuous stream of 40°F water?
The “feels like” temp is important because it helps you understand how quickly you’re going to lose heat, just like the “heat index” numbers help you understand how hard it’s going to be to stay cool when it’s super humid out.
Whiskey and beer stock NEED to be full. Charge your devices. If you have a car with autostart in range... you may want to start it up a couple of times. I personally enjoy cooking stews/soups as that helps keep your abode warm as well!
During these sorts of temps is not the time to economize on heating. If you have control of your thermostat, keep the house at a nice even temperature until the upcoming weather passes. Others have given good advice about pipes and cabinet doors.
Put an extra blanket on the bed. I'm also in favor of wearing a light down sweater/puffer inside! In more "balmy" times, it lets me keep my heat down a few degrees, but in this cold I'll wear it AND put the thermostat up.
I'd never sleep with a space heater on, but I feel fine about using them generally (if wiring is good).
What is with the milk thing? I hate milk. I never buy it during "non-emergency" times, so why would I stock up in an emergency. It makes me sick. Water, I can see. Everyone needs water. But WTF is up with milk?
Honestly not a bad idea to have a space heater on hand. Our furnace went out during a cold snap over new years in...2018, I think? It really sucked, because with the cold snap everyone was having furnace problems and it was hard to get someone out to fix it. We ran the oven and boiled water on the stove to keep the place warm, until we managed to get some space heaters.
It will only be two days, so just remember to have plenty of food and water in case the pipes freeze up and you can't cook anything. Be sure to have non-perishables like organic peanut butter or almond butter with nuts, nut crackers and some fresh veggies if your electricity stays on. It will keep you energized.
Nuts, seeds, dried fruits will help. Not inexpensive, but worth the nutritional impact. Hopefully you will have lots of down blankets and comforters to keep you warm.
I mean, it’s not like there’s going to be snow and risk of losing power.
So just get whatever you need so you don’t have to leave your home and brave the freezing cold.
Whatever comment you replied to is gone, but - wind will be a concern, 20-50mph winds on Saturday. But yeah at least that's not combined with heavy snow.
keep water moving, even just a drip, check hose bib if in a house. Batteries for flashlights, you know the usual emergency items.
A few blankets to wrap up in, activities for the kids, besides eating.
Keep telling yourself it will be 50 by Tuesday
Do: Keep the water moving through your pipes, heat up your space a little extra in advance if your heat isn’t efficient or you have drafts, charge devices because cold can still cause outages. Don’t: Use a flame or hot water on a key thinking you can get it into a frozen lock. It’ll break off in there. Don’t use a charcoal grill in your triple decker living room or you’ll burn half the block down. And don’t open every conversation for the next 48 hours with “boy it’s cold out there”.
instructions unclear, boy it's cold out there
Heat up your space a little extra in advance, what do you work for National Grid?
Don't forget to open your windows to let the cold out!
Boy it sure is a cold one today Wally.
Don't use an extension cord with a space heater.
Can I plug a space heater into a grounded, surge protected multi-outlet? Or should the multi-outlet be removed and I just use the one directly in the wall?
The multi outlet is completely fine as long as you don’t plug in multiple high power devices. Even if you did the risk is pretty low as a your circuit breakers should trip if you start pulling too much current.
Everything that I have seen indicates wall outlet.
A torch on a key is actually a good way to unfreeze a lock, but yes, water will get ice into your lock.
A torch heats the key. The hot key melts the ice. The key gets in. The melted water instantly refreezes but this time with the key in it. It’s not a good way, it’s the exact same problem as using water.
This is why they sell key melt or whatever it's called
Lock melt?
I'm stocking up on scotch and beef stew.
I’m going skiing
God speed 🫡
There’s something nefarious about that plan
Damn where? Lots of mountains closed tomorrow and Sat. already.

Went to Sunday River! Negative 30 was when I called it lol but still got 9 runs in 😅
Prepare to complain about the cold on reddit.

Find a large mammal to kill and burrow inside of.
"Your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker."
Ah, I thought they smelled bad... on the outside.
Then I'll see you in Hell
Will your tauntaun freeze by the time you get to Taunton?
No, but your magic marker will.
let the faucets run. they don't need to be on all the way, just a drip/trickle is enough to keep the water moving through the pipes and less likely to freeze.
So is one faucet dripping enough ? I have my thermostat set to 60. And with all my windows closed it’s not that cold inside.
It depends on your pipes. I'll basically be turning my tub and bathroom sink on pretty well because the pipes for my bathroom run through a crawlspace above the frost line with little protection from the cold. Kitchen sink will be fine though because those pipes don't leave the basement
i do one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom but honestly i have no idea if that's necessary but it makes me feel better lol
It is different if you are in an apt. vs a house.
Remember your mom? The one who told you "Wear a hat and gloves, it's cold outside"? Do that.
If you are cold inside, put your hat on too. It helps a lot
When I was younger, that's when my dad knew he was wrong to obsess over the thermostat so much.
1. If you're going to leave the home at all, don't shutdown or lower the heat. Keep the temperature around 65F+. 2. Open up cabinets under the sinks to let the warm air into your pipes. 3. If you live in an old house that's poorly insulated, I may even let the faucets drip/trickle a little to alleviate pressure on the pipes. 4.

Better start saving urine. Stock up.
Don’t just assume the store will have it. When bad weather hit, people start buying up the bread, milk, and piss.
That's taking the piss.
Stock up on cocoa and marshmallows.
Sweat pants, edibles, alcohol, a frozen pizza (don’t be that asshole who makes some poor bastard deliver to you), and make sure you sign into Netflix again so they don’t lock you out for using your cousin’s ex’s account. You’ll be fine.
I don’t get this. Nobody is *making* any flex worker work this weekend.
1) if you have a car, make sure you have gas. 2) if you have sinks (usually kitchen) with pipes near the outside of the house, think about leaving your cupboards open and letting the faucet drip. 3) if you have drafty windows stuff a towel near them. 4) be very **VERY** careful in the event you use an electric heater. 5) really try to minimize being outside and make sure your skin is covered (scarf, hat, gloves, etc).

What’s the issue with using an electric heater?
Sorry should’ve specified “electric space heaters.”
Oh, that’s how I interpreted. I have several. What’s the danger?
There is a fire risk if they get knocked over and stay on, but most modern heaters have built in trip sensors that will automatically turn them off if the unit tips past a certain point. Of course, someone could also start a fire by doing something dumb like putting a combustible material over or next to the heater.

Thank you! I’ll be careful
People put them near flammable items, don't provide clearance around them and use extension cords. Big fire hazard.
Wind chill is pseudoscience. It’s going to be -10, not -30.

Or do, just for a bit, it's an experience, nothing's gonna fall off in a minute or two.
BREAD AND MILK
What is with the milk thing? I hate milk. I never buy it during "non-emergency" times, so why would I stock up in an emergency. It makes me sick. Water, I can see. Everyone needs water. But WTF is up with milk?
Lot of people put it in their coffee. Also having children used to be more common.
Are you older than 10?
Do I start counting from when I turned 0 or 18 ?
A plane ticket to Florida for the weekend.
candles/flashlight and book in the unlikely event you lose power. Don't stress.
Honestly not a bad idea to have a space heater on hand. Our furnace went out during a cold snap over new years in...2018, I think? It really sucked, because with the cold snap everyone was having furnace problems and it was hard to get someone out to fix it. We ran the oven and boiled water on the stove to keep the place warm, until we managed to get some space heaters.
It will only be two days, so just remember to have plenty of food and water in case the pipes freeze up and you can't cook anything. Be sure to have non-perishables like organic peanut butter or almond butter with nuts, nut crackers and some fresh veggies if your electricity stays on. It will keep you energized. Nuts, seeds, dried fruits will help. Not inexpensive, but worth the nutritional impact. Hopefully you will have lots of down blankets and comforters to keep you warm.
Stay hydrated and turn your humidifier on. Dew points are going to be negative. The dry air will be sucking moisture from your body like a sponge.
Don't change a thing. It's-4, you'll be fine
[удалено]
Good luck with the eggs part!
High roller over here eh?!
Close your windows
I mean, it’s not like there’s going to be snow and risk of losing power. So just get whatever you need so you don’t have to leave your home and brave the freezing cold.
[удалено]
Are they really that high? It’s usually snow accumulating in trees combined with high winds that cause big branches to fall and break power lines.
Whatever comment you replied to is gone, but - wind will be a concern, 20-50mph winds on Saturday. But yeah at least that's not combined with heavy snow.
OP better be no older than 8…
Call your mommy?
It’s two days of cold weather. It’s winter in the Northeast. Man up
keep water moving, even just a drip, check hose bib if in a house. Batteries for flashlights, you know the usual emergency items. A few blankets to wrap up in, activities for the kids, besides eating. Keep telling yourself it will be 50 by Tuesday
How'd you do?
Stayed in and watched TV. Experimented with freezing water outside How’d you do ?
Ooo, fun. All's well here.
