Aw you poor girl... insult added to injury... Nice thing is when it's that cold the inside of your nose stops working WRT smell, so the lack of showers is easier to live with... I doubt it's going to be awesome at all... for you or the animals. sorry...

I have ice cracking and melting in my kitchen now. It's quite the sight. Yay NH. I would like to move now

I had to go out and add hot water to the trough to thaw the ice but it's only 22 degrees here. I have no desire to do the -0 thing. We do feel for you.

You can move to Vermont!

All the way up to 34 this a.m. Tomorrow is suppose to be 64 so I'm planning on sending my cockerels to freezer camp. Trying to decide if I should keep one. They are just beginning to try protecting the girls, although so many are hard on my girls. So glad we're not dealing with frozen pipes. I feel for you but then again we don't get much really frigid conditions. Some years just a couple of really cold weather in Feb. or March.

NH Homesteader, sorry to hear about your frozen pipes. Yes, it is cold here this morning too -10 and well as you know with the wind chill more like -30. It's early in the winter for us to have this cold weather, feels like late January and February. Sorry to hear about your Tom. I'm learning a lot about what I will need to consider when setting up for when I finally get some animals.

Good news for me, I found a new job for a non-profit (no more big corporate banks for me!!) I start next week.

-10. Pipes are frozen

mine too!! Yay!...not.

Better yet the well pump froze and shattered inside. So we will be picking up a new one today.

Ugh that's not good!

At least it's supposed to get warm this weekend!

Well if ya have to have some water for human consumption, don't forget about your hot water tank....just don't drain it completely....we've had to use it sometimes when power stays off for days....may not be much but certainly can get ya by in a pinch....still Praying for ALL of you dealing with this 'Mess'.

We have bottled water for that thankfully! If it was a complete emergency I would call my step-dad, he's home this morning and their pipes never freeze!
