Dangerous Weather Ahead: Every U.S. Region Will See 'Above Average' Snow, Precipitation Or Rain This Winter - Recent 'Snowpocalypses' Show The Majority Of Americans Do Not Prepare In Time
War and politics are dominating the news and online discussions to the point where other important issues seems to be falling by the wayside, such as the upcoming, colder/snowier/wetter-than-normal winter where all 18 regions will see above average precipitation, snow or rain, depending on geographical locations, according the Farmer's Almanac.
The reason this winter will be colder than usual is El Nino, which is described as "a natural climate phenomenon marked by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean."
Of course the climate change crowd which has been offering failed predictions about the end of the world as we know it for more than 50 years, will tell us the winter will be extraordinarily cold and wet because of.....*checks notes*.... global warming?
Whatever.
The importance of preparing for winter, which begins on Thursday, Dec 21, 2023 and ends on Tuesday, Mar 19, 2024, can be learned from past winter storms where the masses decided not to prepare until the very last minute, panic shopping until the grocery store shelves were empty.
This happened in 2016, and 2021, where massive winter storms and blizzards left store shelves across the U.S. empty, and power outages left the masses freezing their proverbial butts off.
At Walmart and other grocery stores, shelves on many aisles were stripped clean by those wanting to stock up.
On Tuesday, customers filled their carts with meat, frozen foods, canned goods, firewood and other items in fear they would be snowed in or without power.
Taylor Brasher said when she went to Walmart in Pine Bluff on Tuesday to pick up a few items for breakfast, shelves were bare.
"There were so many people in there with their buggies overflowing," said Brasher. "There were long lines for every checkout."
Brasher said it was reminiscent of the early days of the covid-19 arrival when panicked shoppers reached for whatever was available.
"It was very similar to the pandemic with a lot of items missing," said Brasher. "As quick as the stockers were putting items on the shelves, people were pulling them off."
This happens far too often as people that are not "preppers" always seem to wait until the last minute to stock up on food and paper goods, which is why before each winter people should be going through their checklist to see what they are missing and get it before the storms hit, before they are snowed in and before the blackouts.
We know the majority of Americans don't do so, simply by watching how often the last minute mad dashes to stores clean them out.
It is like some people just aren't capable of learning.
ANP Emergency Fundraiser: The globalists war on ANP is all part of the globalists 'Big Tech' effort to silence conservative and independent voices, allowing them to maintain a monopoly on the flow of information. As George Orwell made clear to us decades ago, "The further a society drifts from the truth, the more they will hate those who speak it." But, with your amazing help, we at ANP promise to keep 'speaking truth to power' because, as Orwell also reminded us, "If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

BOTTOM LINE
While most ANP readers are in some way preppers, whether it is buying a little extra every week or replenishing when needed or even just topping off supplies, now is the time to check everything and make sure you have what is needed for the entire winter if need be.
Even if it is just eggs, milk and bread you find yourself needing, remember if the weather is bad, it might not be on the shelves for you because the masses will have emptied them, so stock up now, freeze what you need to, and have powdered milk and eggs on hand, just in case.
Most ANP readers that have been with us for years, already have their food stores, so anything needed to restock or expand your stocks cane be found at the Survival Food link here, because I am going to focus on specific winter related items.
Generators:
One of the first things that goes when a massive storm hits is your electricity. if out for long enough your perishables in the fridge and freezer will go bad, so a generator is a must. Not just for storms but for any scenario where you lose your electricity. Whether a terror attack, which is looking more likely the longer the Israel/Hamas war goes on, or a direct attack against our power grids, keeping the lights on is simply practical.
These gadgets are all we use up here in the western Maryland mountains, and they are cost efficient. Rather than using central heater, either gas, which is very expensive, or electric which costs far more to cool the entire house/apartment, than one or two space heaters in the rooms you use the most.
The basics are things most people already have, especially preppers and survivalists, but given the colder than normal weather predictions for so many U.S. regions, it may be prudent to have extras.
Another things some forgetis electric blankets. Yes, electricity is projected to become even more expensive, and states and/or companies start rationing gas for those that use heating oil or natural gas, but the cost of using an electric blanket is minimal compared to using electric or gas to heat your entire home.
Other items to check before winter hits, include the following:
Disposable dishware, and after having tried the compostable plates, my advice would be to stay away from them. They become soggy long before one can finish eating and heaven forbid you try to cut something on them, your food ends up in your lap.
Readers are encouraged to add items they find necessary during the winter, in the comment section below.
