I am in northern MN and it has been -24 two mornings in a row when I got up......-49 with wind chill!
This morning had no water except in laundry sink and basement bathroom.......frozen pipes! Unreal, first in the 35 years I've lived in this house. DH had it fixed within hours, lack of snow for insulation outside he's guessing. Now checking it out more thoroughly....but all is well with the water.
Funny how you want to drink water, wash something, etc., when you don't have water! I had water for coffee, so was pretty calm....lol.
Stay warm!

Ew, I need to watch the weather, I hadn't seen that. I think I have reached my quota for snow and cold.

it's 48 here this morning but very foggy out and believe it or not, i'm cold. forecast of 75 this afternoon. i was born and raised in Illinois so I remember what cold feels like but I've lived here for 50 years and love it. So yall stay in and try to stay warm in Minnesota and New York etc or you could hop a plane and come to west texas, lol.

Yes, it has been a few years since we have had what I think of as a "normal" cold spell here in Minnesota. Should get into the 20's by Saturday tho. And we are getting close to February, then I start to think of March and Spring. Yeaaaaaa.
