Br-r-r-r! The temperature is up to 16 degrees outside my window from 8 degrees when I woke up this morning. I've only seen it this cold once in the 26 years we've lived here. I'm expecting the water pipes to start bursting any minute. I wonder how many of Ben's trailers have burst pipes this morning. I don't envy him being out in the cold this afternoon to fix them when we are expecting even colder temps tonight. We had one pipe burst in a cold snap before Christmas. I got up several times during the night to let the water run a bit hoping that would help.
And, heat pump heating stinks! The thermostat is set at 70 degrees; the temp indicated on the thermostat is 64 degrees. Mr. Fixit is filling up the kerosene heater as I type.
I realize that many people would think that 16 is balmy compared to what they are experiencing, but for us Carolinians this is darned cold!

I've been letting faucets leak all night that are near an exterior wall. I've heard that prevents freezing pipes. I hope it does. We're having the same experience with our heat pump. We have to use auxillary heat in exteme cold.
