Coffee anyone ?

Ice everywhere, cold, I need to put on 7 layers of clothing and go do chores. LOL Sunday night is projected to go to ZERO! ZERO? I've never experienced ZERO before! I don't know if the pipes under the house will freeze or not. I may cut off the water and drain the pipes just in case. Oh joy. Stupid dogs have dug holes and thrown dirt on top of cut off valve, so I'll have to dig it out.

Don't forget, now we are getting snow on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. Supposed to accumulate to 4-6" and with these temperatures, it won't melt for a few days. At least it will be pretty to look at, but I won't be out there (much) this time!!

This is when I get out my Scottland sweat shirt. In 1980, my parents took a trip to England and Scottland. Mom brought me back a sweatshirt. It is so warm that I can only wear it in weather like this. It’s 50% cotton, 50% polyester and made in Mexico so a tourist in Scottland could buy it. LOL I can’t even wear it in the house. Some years I don’t wear it at all. At this rate it should last me the rest of my life!

Don't worry @Baymule , you stop feeling temperature difference around 10ish, so when it's zero, it will still feel about the same as 10.

Neither of those temps are worth looking forward to experiencing! it feels so much colder when it's wet and breezy!!!!!!!

Not that cold here but, 34 and wet, breezy is more than I want. But it's here. Getting ready to go feed and back in to bake something. Something sorta sweet, for sure, plus ??????? Something else. Maybe meatloaf & baked potatoes. Gotta make bread, too.

5 inches of snow... some drizzle. 27 up to 34, back down to 26 right now. Roads are mostly clear, might get some more misty stuff and then again Sat night????

It's February... WINTER..... but we are not getting the terrible cold temps that they are forecast for y'all in Texas. I really feel sorry for you.

It helps to keep your under sink cupboard doors open, and keep your faucets trickling about a pencil thread diameter, hot and cold together.

Been there done that many times. Opening the under sink doors makes a big difference and we have let the water trickle to keep the water from freezing for years and years.

We don't have to do it until it gets below zero for consecutive days, and thankfully we haven't ever had the indoor pipes freeze, but occasionally the faucets on the house exterior have frozen up, even being wrapped.
We have only one frost proof hydrant and it's about 60 feet from the house, even further from the animals.

Well... for us getting dumps of snow all February and March is normal...

Blah... just got done plowing for the day... tired
