For your entertainment, and with a nod to the onset of winter, Mic, Brian, and Jeff have each watched a movie about winter survival (or not) or a post-apocalyptic Ice Age Doom. They share what the movies are about (with spoilers) and use them as springboards to some winter advice you can use now -- before any new Ice Age hits.
The Movie Links: (all free on YouTube)
The Colony (2013) — After some geoengineering either failed to fix, or caused a new Ice Age, survivors are holed up in scattered underground 'colonies'. When Colony 5 gets a distress call from Colony 7, the trouble turns out to be worse than anyone imagined.
To Build A Fire (1969) An adaptation of Jack London's 1908 tale of a naive man in the Yukon who opts to walk to his friends' camp during -75°F cold. He eventually gets too cold to make a fire. (spoiler alert: the dog lives)
Quintet (1979) Paul Neuman stars in an obscure story about a post-apocalyptic world that is slowly freezing to death. The survivors, "the city," pass the time playing a board game called Quintet. The losers are killed.
