No snow for us here down South yet. It’s really cold here today with a high temperature of only 42F, cold for our standards. The big mass of cold Canadian air has moved in from the northwest and has affected temperatures as far south as Florida. When it snows in SC, the recipe is usually a blast of northern cold air and a low pressure system moving in from the south from the Gulf of Mexico. When rain moves in from the south and hits the cold air, it usually brings us a decent snowfall. This often happens in January or February so there’s still time to get our annual snow

After the power outage during our possible tornado last weekend I got a power failure light. It serves as a night light and a rechargeable flashlight when power supply is cut off. I found my other lounge chair, blown about 100 feet away from the house and down a huge hill. No way I can get to it without falling down a steep hill and cliff  No official reports of a tornado near my house, but I’m finding that hard to believe with the scale of damage I had in the yard. Another thing I’m aware of when I lose power is food in the fridge. I try not to open the fridge too much to keep the cold air inside and preserve my food.  Nothing worse than moldy cheese or warm “skunked” beer  I’m glad I have a big Yeti cooler to put all my perishable food in if the power goes out.

Yeah... @CEB1993, please, please, PLEASE don't EVER eat moldy cheese. lol... not that you said you would, but still... with me, if cheese or perishable food gets slightly warmer, it's gone. Instant trash. So I would throw away every single thing inside my fridge, if I had a power outage for more than at least 3 hours. I've had some baaaaddd experiences with consuming perishable food after it's gotten warm. Anyways, hopefully 2020 isn't a bad year regarding severe weather, but for some odd reason, I feel like it will be. I feel like somewhere in the midwest and eastern portion of the country, there will be an outbreak of powerful Supercells, with historic storm strength/damage/number of fatalities. I hope I'm wrong... this is just a gut feeling.

I hope I'm wrong... this is just a gut feeling. We try our hardest not to throw away food that could have been eaten.   With cheese that has mould growing on it, when it shouldn't have, we cut the mould off back to the good cheese. This year we are keeping a record of exactly how much food waste we produce, so far this year it's at just under half a pound, and that's for both of us.! The average here in Scotland for the same period is 6.6 pounds.!!

I hope I'm wrong... this is just a gut feeling. Yeah, rotten cheese is disgusting. I ate some expired gouda by mistake and I haven't liked gouda ever since. I can't stand it when rancid food stinks up my fridge. Makes me want to get some latex gloves and a big trash bag and toss everything! I've heard that keeping an open box of baking soda keeps the fridge smelling fresh. One of the worst parts of losing power after a severe weather event. I agree, it's been a relatively mild winter thus far so we could get some nasty tornado outbreaks in March or April if the mild weather pattern continues. It's a bad sign if we're already getting tornadoes in January in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.  The strongest tornado recorded in SC was an F4, though nearby Alabama has had several F5's throughout recorded history. I think we're due for a small tornado outbreak or hailstorms this year. Like you, I hope I'm wrong about imminent severe weather later this year too.

@Mandolin Girl, I can't risk it over here. haha... I've really had bad experiences with food that I thought was good. Some of the worst pains I've ever had... the stomach pain. I literally thought I was gonna die on the day it happened. @CEB1993, I hope we're wrong... and I honestly think a big tornado outbreak could be possible if the conditions are right. Organized, violent, deadly Supercells spawning multiple large tornadoes. That's where my gut feeling is at... but I hope I'm wrong. As a thunderstorm enthusiast, I know there is a limit to where things can get very much out of hand really quick, even for the storm enthusiasts like myself.

@ Suzuki: Most food waste in this country is from cooking too much, we very rarely have any wastage from that, and as for food in the fridge and freezer we try and not overstock.

It was somewhere around that as a high here yesterday, considered it sorta warm (considering its mid January) ... I was outside for awhile in short-sleeves while taking down Christmas lights. (but some key factors.. it was sunny, no wind, and low humidity)

Worst I've seen/smelled was multiple gallons of milk (plus some food) that sat in a for a week with no refrigeration (the fridge died during a week when work was closed for a holiday break) The milk jugs were all separated inside, and they'd swelled up too...
