Geez, I got up this morning and thought I hadn't paid my water bill! My kitchen water faucet isn't running. Then I read this forum, went into the bathroom to see if that is running, and it is. Whew.

Still, if the water does freeze in the pipes is there anything I can do about it? I'm worried about it breaking. I'm renting, but still.

I'm near the Apple St. weather station. My thermometer shows 0.7 degrees!!!!!!!!! I've never seen it this cold in the 24 years I've lived in WW. I have to go out about 8:00. Do you think my car will work?

We never had to plug in the car heaters back east until it got about 20 below. You should be O. K. Just let it warm up a long time.

My themometer says 5 degrees here, I need to get the bottled drinks out of the garage.

The differences in temperature in different parts of town are very interesting. It would be interesting to map.

Mine read 5 degrees at 7am.

For those that have problems with a faucet that freezes, let it drip just a tiny bit and that will prevent it from freezing. Of course that only works after you get it unfrozen.

Mine is now reading a balmy 6.5 degrees, time to put on my bathing suit and run through the sprinklers.

My mercury thermometer is reading 4 degrees.

Nice and warm inside

I'm going to come up with heaters for our dogs water bowls some day. Thoes ones they sell at pet stores are too small. We use 30 and 40 gallon horse water buckets.

Yes. Open the gate and the sliding glass door and they come running in.

it was a 3 goat night, for sure!

RennMan · « **Reply #35 on:** Jan 13, 07, 08:33:52 AM »

That's it, I gotta get me a weather station! The big round thermometer on the front deck reads 10 Deg F, but I think it's a bit optimistic.

What weather stations do you all like? I've read good things about both Peet Brothers

http://www.peetbros.com/

And Davis Instruments

http://www.davisnet.com/home_flash.asp

Oregon Scientific is another possibility

I'd go with a Oregon Scientific or a Davis

This one is a good low cost station

My 12-pack of Diet Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper, left on the porch, did not survive the night
