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!

Yikes! I have never heard of dripping your outside water during a freeze. Generally we have to make sure all of the hoses are disconnected and that there is no water in the outside lines.

Most people up here in Idaho who have sprinklers will have them blown out before winter comes. I would call somewhere and get some advice on what to do with the outside water since you began to trickle it.

One thing you don't want is the water in the lines to freeze up expand and then burst the pipes.

It certainly could suck for our irrigation system if we ever thaw - looking at 20, or lower, tonight.

This is becoming tiresome.

What part of the country are you located in? In Idaho I don't worry unless we get down in the low single digits about frozen pipes. But irrigation is usually always taken care of before winter.

This winter has been relatively mild. Although it was it the teens at night this week we hardly have had any snow this year. And it is suppose to get back up into the 40's next week.

Christine and I are in Austin, on the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country. This kind of winter blows through every fifteen years or so.

We are definitely not properly geared for it.

One other hint, wherever there are faucets in the home leave the cabinet doors open so the warm air gets to the supply lines.

That would be tough to plan for this kind winter down there. Hope it all goes well for you guys and nothing burst.
