It’s been snowing all morning! I keep expecting the sun to come out and the snow to melt and it just doesn’t. The schools were closed Friday because of it, so the Husband has been home three days straight and unable to do any yard work...he’s driving himself (and me) nuts!

Weather gurus here in OK say we won't see the sun OR get above freezing for a week. Small stream of water running continuously from all faucets in the house, but am still uneasy that the kitchen faucet & pipes (on the north wall) will freeze and burst. Not sure if my homeowner's insurance would cover it. Hope they do, just in case. Because no way can I afford such repairs.

Sorry for length. Lots of people praying about lots of things. This is what I've been praying about.

I share your concern. I live in the Kansas City area, and the weathermen are predicting -14 degrees for Monday night/Tuesday morning. We have a mini-split in the kitchen and the heat rating is only -5 degrees.

I checked the internet and a plumber said to leave both hot and cold water pipes running, and not just with a drip, but a goodly stream.

We will bring up the small heater from the basement and aim it into the kitchen cabinet with the pipes, just do what we can do, give it your best shot, etc.
