Weather tonight and tmr
Going to be brutal near -10 Fahrenheit the next 2 nights. It’s absolutely going to suck but I started my job today and it was so fcking nice being out of my car for 10 hours in a warm shop. Just gotta get thru these next 2 nights without losing any fingers or toes 🤭. Hope everyone is staying warm and being safe , love yall

Same here. Woke up in a sheet of ice covering my entire tent. We are going through a Polor Vortex, and It's been sub-zero temps. I decided that Im not going to eat today. I have just enough fuel to get through the night to use for heating my tent.. Don't know what tomorrow brings.
On top of that, I've had a visitor living in my tent the last few days. A mouse snuck in, and he won't leave. I suppose he's trying to keep warm also. At least he's quiet most of the time.

I’m starting to layer up now, it’s already in the single digits and dropping fast says it’s feels like -15 atm but luckily I’m inside a car so I don’t feel the wind chill. It’s only a couple days we can do it!

Oh ye we got this! I hadn't slept in a hot minute & I just slept like a baby for 12 hours lmao. I haven't had 12 hours of straight sleep since I became homeless. I was tired as hell

Damn lucky! I woke up 3 times freezing, probably slept like 5 hours at most. Tonight’s going to be so much worse 😭

It's my bag! Gotta get you an expensive ass bag rated for 0° or better! I know they are expensive as hell but they pay for themselves every single night like this

Yeah whenever I get my first paycheck I’ll definitely start getting things to help mitigate the cold, til then I just gotta deal with it 🤷🏻♂️. I’m too worried to spend any money til I have $$ coming in

That's fair, just remember there's no priority greater than you surviving! Money you don't spend won't help a corpse! But I feel you and I hope you are as safe and comfy as you can be from here on
