<<Yeah but if you only get a dusting every 10 years, everyone will be running around like morons thinking the world is ending.>>
True dat.
<<That scheme could work befferz. We wouldn't want him to be cold, after all he's not used to the snow.>>
Actually, yes I am! I used to have job sites at Lake Tahoe, Squaw Valley Ski Resort, and Yosemite that I had to visit year round. But I have no objections to organic heaters!

Forget you -20 degrees. This was not even on the weatherman's radar.

Still cold here, 20F this morning. Last night we were sitting watching TV when I could hear water running through the pipes. I thought one of the toilets was running, nope, that wasn't it. Opened the door to the garage and and the water tap to the sink out there had frozen and blown off and was shooting water straight up full force. As it was the hot water, the entire garage was full of steam.
Got it blocked in and will be off today looking for a new tap assembly. Those lines have frozen before and leaked a bit but this is the worse. Luckily we were at home, it could just as well have happened when we we were out at dinner.

That sucks but again like you said at least you were home. Good luck on the repairs.

I think the lesson is to block in the water to the garage in cold weather. I thought of putting heat tape on the piping but I'm not sure I would make sure everything was properly protected against freezing.

We're at a whopping 20 right now, and it's not sunny. But it's better than the 8 and no sun we had yesterday.

We woke up this morning to snow falling. Maybe an inch or so on the road and driveway. The dog loved it. What is it about snow and dogs, my last two also just went nuts when it snowed. They'd run through it with their nose down like a minature snow plow sending the stuff flying. They just loved it.

My mom's sheltie does the same thing. She got him right before Christmas and they've had a good bit of snow back home. He was so little only 5 pounds that her husband worried he'd hit ice in the snow and hurt himself. We've gotten a lot of the wet, heavy variety of snow.

Last night when I took the dog for a walk, the driveway was a mixture of slush and ice. The road was more slush and ice and as of this morning we have more snow. Things will be colder than normal here for a few more days.

Winter here is grey for a lot of the time. Even the TV weather forecast uses the term 'sun breaks' when you can expect to see that big yellow ball in the sky, I forget its name.

Woke up to -16 this morning. It's freaking freezing, and I'm fighting a cold. Even my coffee tastes like sludge this morning.

It's up to 40 here now! But it's supposed to get cold again tonight, and only be in the teens tomorrow. Happy pseudo-spring.

Well it was -9 this morning, I think the highs are in the single digits above 0 today, and may get a little warmer the next few days.
