The only beer that will freeze is Michelob ultra. The rest have enough carbs and alcohol to resist the freeze

We couldn't find Oberweis peppermint stick or egg nog ice cream for tomorrow*, so we opted for multiple flavors of Culver's frozen custard. We had no room in either freezer so we just put all of the custard in the screen room off the back of the house. Just as cold in there as it is outside.

*There's a story there for another time.

Man, that damn cold made it offshore. Lol. Didn't help we had 40 mph winds with 70 mph gusts, and 20+ foot seas.

What sort of boat were you in for that? And I’m assuming off of Georgia?

I'm offshore of Louisiana/Texas. On the Gunnison Platform. The winds have died down, but it's still cold out here. Hopefully, it'll be back into the 60s/70s soon. It never stays this cold out here for long.

My house is tiny (one bedroom) and was built in 1926. Crawlspace instead of basement, and no place to put a central heating inside unit. I rely on space heaters and layers of clothing. Last spring I insulated the attic with R-30. It had never had insulation before! Originally it had wood stoves in every room, with the kitchen one being for cooking as well.

I just took a look at a tracker thing. Yeah. I can see how the cold front hit you out there. I’m glad you weren’t in a boat. Those would have been the most awful conditions.

What are you doing that thing? That thing is huge. What’s the total population?

We have a total POB of about 77. It's actually smaller than the platform I used to work on with I was with BP. (Mad Dog). That one had a max of 112 OF POB.
