We got as low as -7 in NKY without the windchill. The cold and wind together were too much for my old home. A second story water feed, to a toilet near an exterior wall, said uncle and froze.

Thankfully my family and I and can use another bathroom to meet our needs until repaired and I was able to isolate the water to the bathroom with a shutoff. Going to be fun diagnosing where the break is once the pipe thaws ; ). I needed some fine tuning on my plumbing and dry wall skills anyway. I am thankful I caught the pipe before it burst and caused a major flood situation while we are away. So at least I got that going for me…LOL

Something else I learned -7 will do is cause full pop cans to explode in your car. Thankfully it happened in the passenger side floorboard.

So barring any further frozen pipes, we did alright. Once I expose the pipe break ( from behind the wall ), yes I will be wrapping the pipe and insulating the heck out of the area. So long run I'll save $$$ on energy.

Glass is always half full!

Hope all of you faired better and were able to carry on. Stay warm and looking forward to mid 40s by the weekend. We're up to a heatwave 8 degrees at 3pm. Take care and God bless!!!
