When Connie and I drove past the local Walmart today, I saw a water pipe that had apparently burst from the freezing temps last night. I expect this will become commonplace over the next several days. Normally the days would warm up significantly during the day after a hard freeze to keep problems like this from happening. But a long string of freezing temps, with barely warming temps during the day is going to wind up being a REAL problem. People just aren't used to something like this. Which reminds me, I have to go out and drip those faucets again. I notices a leaking crack on the outside shower valve yesterday, which fortunately is on the air side of the valve and not the pressure side. 37 degrees right now and dropping.

BTW, with this long string of freezing temps, I hope everyone has anti-freeze in the radiator. If all you have is water in there, you will likely have some problems one of these cold mornings when you crank it up.
