Hi Bob,

That is serious cold! Our 14 was the lowest in the area in a decade. I
should find out in a day or so about the pipes. We are up to 29 degrees
today.

Hi Jim got to 5 in Huntsville Alabama last night. This is too cold!
My pond is frozen and I have 5 ft icicles on the eaves of the greenhouse.

Hi Bonnie,

I used to live in Syracuse...I recognize your single digit temp!

We got to 14 degrees last night. That is the lowest we have had in the
18
years we have been in MS...and they predict lower tomorrow, perhaps in
the
single digits. I did leave our water running on the outside-wall sinks.
I
will find out on Sunday or so if the freeze got any of my pipes.

May yours hold. (And may the celery make it through our freeze.

Mississippi is the home of warmth...not.

We are looking at a hard freeze over the next few days. As we
climbed
into
bed, I realized that I had not covered our outside fawcets OR
drained
the
water pipes that carry water to our pond and garden. The entry for
water
into the pond regulated by a toilet float and self filling...no
hassle
normally. In a hard freeze, however, some of my exposed piping can
freeze.
I have installed drain points so I can empty the system. In 19
degree
temps
and pich dark, I began to cover the fawcets and to remove the drain
caps. I
had to pour water over the fawcet controlling the water to the pond.
It
came unfrozen fast. The water drained from the low points. I will
find
out
with the thaw if other portions of the pipe froze and split, but it
looks OK
at the moment. I have replacing plastic pipe.

May your pipes keep flowing or drain.

Jim

Hi Jim,
I know all about frozen pipes. Our one bathroom has pipes
on the outside wall. Whenever the temps go below 10 degrees
we leave the water run or the pipes will freeze.
The temp was 7 degrees this morning and that is cold but I
was misreading it. I hadn't turned the light on to read the
digital gauge and I thought it was 75 degrees and then I
clicked it for inside reading and the temp was 56.8 - it
dawned on me to check the reading again. It was 7.5 outside
and 56.8 in my computer room. That is too cold to work -
someone must have played with the thermostat!
