it's cloudy with no sun to warm us up. the high predicted today is 35. currently it's 26 degrees (feels like 17). could be hours before the pipes unfreeze. i'm going nuts already.

Yikes. Thank God mine are still flowing. It's about 7 degrees here and I don't know what the WCI is. I'm on surgical recovery and sorta trapped here. Without running water and utils, it would be even more maddening.

Hopefully there won't be any bursting.

Like a goose, I waited until yesterday afternoon to shop for hose-bid covers - I don't believe that there are any left in Austin.

So I dripped all the exterior faucets and so far so good; but it's forecast to drop down to 20 tonight.

Yowser!

we dripped the exterior faucets too, but they froze anyway.

make a box with 2 sides a back and a top with the top about six inches square and the sides and back tall enough to clear the top of your bib. about mid way up the inside of the back install a ceramic light-bulb fixture and wire (remember black wire to the brass screw and white wire to the silver colored screw).

put a 100 watt incandescent bulb in the fixture and set the box so it covers the bib and plug in the light. it will produce plenty of heat to keep your bib and entry (supply) pipe from freezing. the box can be built from 1 by stock or 3/4 inch plywood. you should only need one as your bib closest to your water meter is the supply line with the other bib coming through wall. if your pipes run through your attic they will need to warmed also. a spot light in a clamp on light fixture aimed across both the hot and cold lines will keep them from freezing. unless the faucets are open nearly full the pipes if not heated can still freeze. just in normal use my water bill runs a "C" note a month and that is for water unfit to drink.

what! you don't have a table saw? if you used 1 by 8 all you would need is a good cross cut saw or sliding compound miter saw a hammer or screw gun and the light fixture and wiring long enough to reach the nearest outlet. but any way inspect your pipes as they thaw if they are run through your attic, have someone available to close the valve at the water meter should you find a pipe or two that ruptured.
