Seeing that this snow has taken us completely by surprise, I trust that many are still out on the road and potentially too far from shelter to make it inside tonight.

[ So yer gonna get a survival guide whether you want it or not. ]

• Keep hydrated. It is easy to forget, in these conditions.
• Putting on a hat goes a long way.
• You are in more danger if you stop shivering. Keep moving, and do not sleep in freezing conditions.
• Alcohol does not keep you warm. It only gives the illusion of heat while making the situation worse.
• Your extremities will be the first to go. Expose your hands and feet as little as possible.
• Overheat too much and you will sweat, which in the long run, will make you much colder than when you started.
• Loose layers are better at keeping heat than tight athletic wear.
• Find or form a barrier against the wind.
• Clean clothing will insulate better than dirty clothing.

[ Take it from a professional hobo. ]

So if I ever get trapped in the wilderness, it would be best to do it with you, then. I'll keep that in mind.

If the weather is getting like this so early, do you think it will be worst when it's actually winter?

Most likely.

[ Though that seems like an odd thing to point out, to Scar. What are jokes... ]

I have no idea. I cannot pretend to understand the strange weather patterns here.

True... That's assuming they're not being influenced by anything too.

Poor weather has foreshadowed powerful Pokémon acting up in the past.

Thinking about it now, that is concerning.

The Sharpedo storm from last year... That eventually heralded those two giant Pokemon those teams were trying to stir up, weren't they?

Yes. The teams responsible were doing something to instigate those two. I am fairly certain it was determined that the bad weather was a result of that. There were many strange natural events leading up to the conflict.

They were chased out, right? Have you heard of any other jerks like that skulking around?

I have heard nothing of them since, though I admit that I did not exactly go looking, either.

I see. Well, let's hope for the best. We don't need a repeat of that kind of thing.
