Stay warm out there, Ragers...
 
Weatherman says we'll get down to 16°F tonight. Pretty cold for Texas.

Geez I used to walk 2 miles to school when it was -10°F back in Pittsburgh, and it was no problem. You just bundle up and you're fine at any temp. Then I moved to NYC, and any time it goes under 40° you're absolutely freezing, no matter how many layers you wear. I think it's the humidity, it just cuts straight through anything you're wearing.

Supposed to get down to -4F here in Cincinnati tonight with wind chills to -30 at times. High winds and blowing snow. Cold front is almost here and the temp will plummet quickly. I have to go out in it tomorrow too. The horses I take care of are all getting locked in tonight and will likely be stuck inside tomorrow as well.
 
:twitch:...

Dont you need the water moreso? We'll trade ya some sleet for just one of those...:bleh:

Windy cold sleet then freezing rain then rain then snow... hope its done by tomorrow so we can do this xmas thing...
 
We had a deep freeze last night, got down to 13 degrees. We put those styrofoam covers over our outdoor faucets, but they all froze shut anyway.

The hot water in our kitchen island isn't working. I hope nothing's broken. Everything else is working. It's a new house, and I'm not really sure where all the pipes go... I'm assuming the hot water for the island comes down through one of the exterior walls, and maybe that's why it froze? Hopefully it'll thaw soon, as I'm a bit concerned. Luckily our plumbing is all PEX, and that's supposed to be pretty resilient to freezes.
 
We only got down to 19 down here. Our island didn't freeze this time but did during the big one (fortunately it only took an hour to thaw). The pipe for that does come down a wall, just need to run a lot of hot water through it and walk around your kitchen in bare feet and feel for the warm tiles. Ours does come down from an exterior wall that also feeds a hose outlet outside so keeping it dripping also helps the outside outlet. Our house is all PEX and it came out fine during the big one. The folk that we knew that had burst pipes all had copper.

On ours there's a shut off valve in the basement just inside and I drain out the water back to that valve. The furnace is also near it so the pipe inside never freezes.

Temp got down to -7F to -10F here. Right now it's sitting at -1.​
