It was 9 degrees F this 5AM, 11 yesterday, kitchen H2O cold side was frozen. Left cabinet door open w/house heat at 71F and a ceramic space heater blowing into open cabinet. Finally got it thawed at 4PM today. All sink cabinets are open tonight.

Get paid in the AM and will go see if any supplies left at stores. Not critical here supply wise but never hurts to have spares.

If it gets real bad then We might have to Wok the Dogs (not dressed out over 180 pounds) <;o)

My main concern is loss of power to run heater blower and TV/Net. Got a gas stove/oven if things get bad. Gas H2O Heater so as long as` the Municipal H2O keeps the pumps running We got H/C H2O!

16 now headed to 12 so they say.

GloBULL warming My A$$!!!

Wow, you are a trooper.

Our heater broke. We have small children and a baby.

Thus, I leave the oven on all night, but it was not enough, so last night I put a box fan on it, blowing warm air throughout the house.

It still is not enough!

We have a bathroom that is not plumbed for AC/heat. It is very drafty so I keep that door closed, and this morning when I opened it there was a 30 degree difference between it and the rest of my house!
