Baby it's COLD outside!

I  don't know about you, but as far as I am concerned they can take this  "arctic blast" somewhere else! I have had enough. Of course when I start complaining I check the temperature for my daughter in Miles City Montana and they hit 35 below! so perhaps I should just grin and bear it.

I also think of a couple of people whom I have sold houses to this past summer from much warmer climates, I am sure they are questioning what they have gotten themselves in for.

I did see these recommendations that are worth reprinting.

During the current winter weather conditions we recommend you do the following to protect your home and protect your pipes from freezing: Close foundation vents around the base of your home when the temperature is below 20º F then open them once above 20º F if they are around a water area (i.e. exterior hose spicket, etc.) Leave a little water dripping from inside faucets If you have plumbing that runs along an outside wall, be sure to leave cabinets open & wrap exposed pipes with insulation, as well as wrapping any exterior pipes with insulation If you water heater is in the garage, keep the garage door closed Disconnect hoses from outside the home I guess it is time for me to go put on my 6 layers of clothing and go for my walk today. ENJOY!
