Oh and let's not forget that Storm is sleeping in his tent only a few hundred feet from here.

Well, I was soooo freezing that I turned my forced air furnace up all the way to 66 degrees.  (I usually keep it at 64.)  And I'm wearing 2 heavy layers of clothes.  :)  I like to breathe cool air.

I guess I'm still recovering from when my hubby was sick, he turned it up to 80, and I couldn't stand it!  Thank goodness for "zoning", even in a relatively small house.

I wanted to see how cold it was so I opened the sliding glass door and took one step out and came back in! It's cold out even to me! My mom was shocked when I turned the heater up in the truck Friday night. I'm the one that turns it off all the time  ;) Can't wait to see how cold it gets tomorrow  ;D

Golly Gosh, I'm really glad now that I disconnected my back garden hose from the bibb, and turned that faucet on to drain it after turning off the water supply back there.  It's a disconvenience not to have water on back there, but it's much worse to have a broken pipe come spring.  

My deceased hubby taught me this! :2thumbsup:

Talk about building ice skating areas - turn on someones faucet.

There's going to be a lot of busted pipes in the next few days.

The pipe to our master bathroom runs through an outside wall, and it's frozen. We've got the electric heater running full force in the shower to thaw it out so it won't break.

Well, I actually went to sleep last night.  ;)
But my thermometers are reading 0 degrees F this morning.
Oh, wait! It's not that bad! 0.2.

BTW, I'm selling hot flashes.
