Here in N. Tx, it will get below 0F first part of the week for the low on a couple of days with his in the teens. I have never seen it below 10F and that was back in the mid '80s. I put in new water lines back in Dec. replacing the originals I installed in 1979. House is on pier and beam. When I designed and built it, I put all but the entrance water line in the walls and the ones that had to run along the floor joists are well insulated. Entrance line is insulated. Covered the Water Meter. Water runs off and on during the day and I let several faucets seep at night. I did put RV antifreeze in the shower P traps to keep them from popping. I "hope" that I thought of everything, and being a senior, the bladder will ensure that I "get to" check things periodically throughout the nights.
The dog has an insulated, heated house with porch and is getting house warmed, double gourmet rations twice a day. Her water container has an electric "pipe tape" rolled up in the bottom which is keeping that clear.
Farm lines that need to be are shut off and drained.
On the comment about what new construction consisted of and other things affecting folks, this will be a disaster. Building materials are already out of sight...glad I don't have any construction projects planned. Glad I just paid my annual house/farm insurance premium for the year. I switched to Farmers last year and even with all the bad weather around the country my rates stayed very close to last year. -------------------- I do not envy you folks that have this as a way of life....your being used to it and prepared or not. ------------------ On the underground faucet leaking comment on here this morning, neighbor's across the road, about 4 years old started leaking and had to dig it up to get to the valve. At least that was back in November and the weather was nice.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
