Welcome. Much of the continental United States is seeing winter storms this week, snowfall and icefall, astonishing cold. Some three million people are still without electricity in Texas; a friend in Dallas described it as “quarantine in quarantine.” I hope you’re inside and keeping safe. If you’re trying to stay warm at home, experts advise closing off rooms you’re not using, shutting curtains and blinds to keep the heat in. Here are some more tips from my former colleagues at Lifehacker.
I appreciated learning about ambience videos, a genre of atmospheric soundscapes on YouTube that aim to recreate peaceful settings, like a Paris cafe. While you’re inside, why not make things as cozy as possible? So far, I’ve spent time on a beach in Thailand and in a fancy couchette on a long-distance train ride.
