    According to the linked image, you should be experiencing temperatures as low as -60 degrees celcius.
    You may have to stick with spirits for your emergency booze rations.

    Yoiks! I hope you have plenty of spare laptop batteries! Just because you are having a little hurricane doesn’t mean that you no longer have to entertain us, you know.
