Growing up in Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we used to have dog patrols when it got real cold. People would go around kicking dogs loose from fore hydrants.

Pipes can often freeze but not burst. I just got back inside from propane-torching one of my outside faucets that was froze. I had it set to drip, but guess not enough.
Generally, it takes a hard freeze to burst pipes. We’re talking low teens or single digits.
If you go sub-zero, and your pipes are not protected, kiss them goodbye!!

I had to fire up the 3rd dearborn heater yesterday. (I am only running 2 at the moment).
If it gets any colder I will have to light off the fireplace.
I have not run these heaters in years.
It’s kinda cozy.

I’ve got a couple good pair of wool socks.
They are worth their weight in gold when it comes to saving money on heating bills!
17 degrees outside here, about 66 inside. I could crank my pellet stove up another notch, but I’m good for now.

I’m pretty sure they don’t put water pipes up in the attic like they do here in Houston. You might want to check where the water piping comes into the house to make sure it’s buried well or insulated so that it doesn’t freeze up though. How long is the below freezing weather supposed to last?

Depends on a lot of things. Like I said, 45 years in a cold climate yielded zero frozen pipes. For this guys case, 5deg. is unusual and will be short. The average low in Oklahoma city is 29F. Hardly a realistic danger.

Put a couple of 100 watt bulbs in the crawl space and it will warm up the pipes.
Wait...what..? Really!?
Asshats!

Look on the bright side. At 5F, as you drink beer from a bottle outside, the beer freezes on the inside of the glass. Pure Heaven.

A Dearborn heater? Those things will kill you. I hope you have a working carbon monoxide detector in the house. They do help add some humidity to the house when it’s cold and really dry outside though.

I am getting ready to light up the fireplace. Last year for Christmas Mr Ditter gave me gas logs for it. Oh WOW! Talk about nice. No more buying wood, no more hauling it inside, no more cleaning out the ashes. I do miss the smell of wood but not enough to wish I had that back. When my neighbors light up their wood I get enough of the smell to satisfy me. :)

Don’t know. The outside pipes are frozen. I opened up the valves all the way and nada.

Day before yesterday I cooked up some suet for the birds, they’re out there going crazy for it now.
Some of the sparrows are fighting each other for a perch spot over our patio door. I reckon that means I’ll be hosing down in a few days.
It’s all good. :)

South of you in the promised land but this ice parade is equally brutal here...we'd be better off with a foot of snow on the ground.
Cabin fever is getting the best of me; I think my best bet is to fashion some blades on my boots and go skating.
Thanks a lot, Obama!

When I lived in Houston, those were interesting number. I’d think, “Gosh that sounds cold.” Now it’s more like whiskey tango foxtrot.

I ran the hairdryer for 20 mikes. No go. The wall where the pipe runs is warm, though. Not sure where it’s frozen. My 9-year-old just got one pipe running.
I swear I got married and had kids so I could look inept.
