Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Arkansas is expected to have super-cold temperatures next week (single digit lows in Fahrenheit). I plan to continue working as much as possible as long as I have power and Internet. Should I lose power or Internet for an extended period of time that would impact my work, I will notify management, and other colleagues will continue monitoring the forums until I can check back in. Praying that the cold temperatures aren't too severe. I'm well stocked on food with a wood heater, so no matter what, I'll make it through it! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReformedDoc Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I will be praying for you, it seems like they are expecting power outages all over with these storms moving in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannian Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Will be praying for you, Dr. Parker. Extremely cold temperatures are never fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Power outages are happening in some areas. Since I've found out our power grid here isn't the most reliable, I am concerned. Thanks for your prayers. I'm praying as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 NWS is forecasting over 6" snow here, and Baron's forecast model (really accurate here) is forecasting snow with wintry mix afterward. We're likely going to lose power and Internet. Some forecasts are showing negative F lows, most are just showing low single digit F lows. Hoping we don't get into negative temps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erhard Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hi Nathan, You certainly live in a different climate from where I live. We are hitting -40 here. (at that point C and F are the same) Hopefully your grid and internet survives without too long of an outage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Wow! I just thought I was cold. We had a brief Internet outage tonight. Not a promising sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 And we had a little power flicker. Not a promising sign... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Thanks! So far power and Internet is holding. We're snowed in and not going anywhere (and it's super cold), but I can at least get work done. As long as I have power and Internet, here are my current conditons: https://owc.enterprise.earthnetworks.com/OnlineWeatherCenter.aspx?aid=6521 https://tempestwx.com/station/111318/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 So far power and Internet has held, and we're through the worst of it. We've had an occasional power surge or drop in Internet speeds or temporary glitch, but so far so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvonkaenel Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I feel with you. I live on the Golan Hights, Israel and we have winter here, ice-cold temperatures. Maximal daytime 14 Degrees. Seems israel is winter managing much better, no such thing as power outages here. But a lot of rain, the Kinneret is filling up again for summer.

GYDOF1729 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Been super cold here in Interior Alaska. Currently -32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Thanks for sharing your weather reports! Seems it can get colder than what I experience. 🙂 We should be through the rough winter patch for a bit, and thank the Lord power and Internet held. Although in March, severe weather season ramps up... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopold Green Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It is awful - we don't get anything like this in England though we do get ever increasing numbers of storms and flooding... watching climate change happen around you is terrifying. I don't have children but I truly fear for those who do exactly what sort of world we will have in 40 years To all of you in N America take care in the freezing cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
