Never heard of that. Must have been a little scary. We are 18 degrees this morning with a windchill of 6 degrees. Too cold for Florida. I think my greenhouse froze.

That is what I would be concerned about.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-83778241955248434242014-01-07T06:40:41.948-05:002014-01-07T06:40:41.948-05:00You sure have a way with words!

It's just that people, unless they are recent arrivals from up North, tend not to have the cold weather clothing to deal with it.<br /><br />One good point with your sewer freezing up, for once you can really say that your sh_t really doesn't russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-57731726986231023472014-01-07T03:00:53.017-05:002014-01-07T03:00:53.017-05:00Rob - I don't blame ya for staying close to ho...Rob - I don't blame ya for staying close to home at all. Usually I run my bullet heater for an hour or so if they call for temps below say 5 degrees or so and that keeps any cold air that sneaks by my hay barrier from freezing anything but it's broke. Looking like I may be bailing water for a few days.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-16878914430766351692014-01-07T02:57:34.842-05:002014-01-07T02:57:34.842-05:00Sandy - Yep I was surprised the truck started as m...Sandy - Yep I was surprised the truck started as my battery is getting a bit weak but it did. It has a brand new clutch and tranny over haul so shifting shouldn't be an issue. The tractor tried her damnest but just couldn't get going though. :(<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-66300301812571916572014-01-07T02:53:45.920-05:002014-01-07T02:53:45.920-05:00SF - Well it actually got it's coldest about 6...SF - Well it actually got it's coldest about 6AM yesterday (Monday) morning. When the wind shifted. I wasn't expecting a wind shift and thats when the pipe froze as well. It's -9 now but the wind has been slowly dying down and it is suppose to start warming up about 1 degree an hour from this point on.<br /><br />We will see.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-35784165111430141302014-01-07T02:50:40.531-05:002014-01-07T02:50:40.531-05:00Thanks TB.

Be careful!!!!<br /><br />At least your truck drove, ours did want to even drive.

You might have to stick a bucket under the sink and pull the trap off and just dump the bucket once in awhile. I haven't been as cold as you got, I have had to put a scarf on to breathe and my eyes have teared up from the cold but not the freezing. I doubt goggles would help, probably would just frost up. <br />Lucky we have Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-31144240481610939672014-01-06T20:22:08.822-05:002014-01-06T20:22:08.822-05:00Thanks for the update.
