RE: The Coming Ice Age - are you prepared?
Certainly what is happening here in New Zealand, or at least our part of it, lines up with that. It rained for 18 months solid from the start of winter 2016 to the end of winter 2017. Then we had the hottest summer we've had in a long time. And now winter has come early and looks like it's going to be a cold one. Luckily we're close to the sea so hopefully won't see snow. In the 30+ years I've lived in this area, we've seen snow maybe twice and it doesn't stay on the ground long. Fingers crossed.
I would still get a wood burning stove... but i do not know much about the wood supply in NZ.
Maybe its more apropos to get a larger propane tank.
I imagine in your area you will start seeing snow regularly during the winter.
A thing about New Zealand is that all our power comes from hydro and we have more power than we need
There are dozens of big dams built over the past 100 years, and the rainfall is high (Land of the long white cloud)
As long as the rivers do not freeze. Canada will be in for some real hurt. They have lots of hydro power, and haven't had the rivers freeze like they will when we get fully into the ice age.
I do not know how NZ is going to be effected by the colder winters. What with the deepest water filled holes all around the place, and the currents that sweep past it.
Snow is very rare in most places here because we all live on the coast
