Everyone screaming, "This is unprecedented". Meanwhile in Austin back in 1949 it was -2Fahrenheit. Texas has had cold before. Many people aren't around to remember it. Luckily a lot of this is documented.
You know how they survived before? Fossil Fuels. They didn't rely on windmills and pussy solar panels. They had wood and coal to keep them warm.
If your survival depends on it, burn some wood. Bundle up. Do what's necessary. Don't wait around to freeze to death because you can't count on Biden to help you.
Where I live, every year people freeze to death because they don't know the basics of survival. Here's a few tips...
You can insulate with PAPER. If you don't have enough layers to stay warm, create gaps between the clothing and your skin by stuffing with paper or extra cloth. Wrap insulation around your neck to protect the arteries close to the surface and keep the blood warm. DON'T WEAR TIGHT CLOTHING, you will lose heat faster. Unless it's used as a thermal layer underneath existing clothing.
Key areas to keep warm: Core, Head, Neck, Hands and Feet. Your legs and arms can take care of themselves. Yes you'll feel cold, but CORE comes first.
Also if you're shaking uncontrollably or can't feel cold any longer, you're in danger. If you're cold and trying to warm up, warm your core first. If you warm your hands or extremities after exposure to extreme cold you run the risk of SHOCKING your heart with cold blood rushing into your core. This can kill you if you're older and if it doesn't shock your heart, it will drop your core temperature to hypothermia levels.
If you must sleep in a cold environment, be sure your bed or wherever you're sleeping has at least a foot of clearance from the floor. Heat rises. Thermodynamics will leech the heat away from you if you're close to a cold surface. Sleep with something around your neck and on your feet to help keep important areas warm while you wrap up in something. Sleeping with COTTON or WOOL is ideal.
Another tip for helping with sleeping in cold environments is Heat Packs (like the ones you use in pockets to keep your hands warm) or other sources of heat packed into the bed with you. I've used bottles of warm water, hand warmers, or heat rocks while camping in cold weather.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. You don't realize this, but your body burns through many sources of fuel to keep you warm. If you feel hungry -- EAT. Drink water even if you don't feel thirsty. Your body burns more calories while cold than at any other time. I live in extremely cold environments six months out of the year. If anyone wants any tips, feel free to ask.

Only one point I have to disagree with: The tight clothes part. My wife wearing yoga pants, keeps us BOTH warm. Nowutimtombout? 😉
