In addition to leaving your faucets dripping pour some RV & Marine Anti Freeze down your drains.
Way to cold here to do any shooting but at least I've been able to catch up on my gun cleaning.

That is the exhaust from my high efficiency furnace.
No chimney required just a PVC pipe for intake and exhaust.

Woke up to 8 degrees this morning,in mid E Texas, just south of Tyler. Local station is predicting 1 tonight. We also have about 7" of fine power snow on the ground which is highly unusual, most of the time when we get snow it is heavy and wet. Last month had a snowstorm, the heavy wet stuff, that took down a lot of live oak limbs in my neighbor across the street, The supply line from transformer on his side of the street was downed by a falling limb, and when his line ripped loose, it tore all the lines loose from the transforme, incuding ours, so we were without power for 48 hours. They had to get a tree service out to clear power lines and a path for his line before the power company would come out and reconnect.
Our power was out a little while between 3 and 4 this morning, but not long enough for the house to cool down,
This is really rare , two,for us major store storms in a year, and especially in a months time.. More "wintry" mix predicted Wednesday, I had the VA schedule me a dr's appoint for Wed to see abut getting cataracts fixed, but called and asked to reschedule, as the appoint is in the next town over, about 30 miles and I have no desire to get out on the roads.
The coldest I have seen was -35 in late Jan back in 91 in Gander Newfondland when we landed to refuel on the way to the UK to set up a contingency hospital for the USAF during desert storm. Lots of snow and ice there, but we did not have tv or good weather reporting at our housing quarters or at the hospital so don't know how cold it really got, but did get into a white out on a bus once. for a while.

I didn't take a screen shot. It was -22 this morning. It's 1720 now and -1. I think the snow is done, should be back in the twenties by the end of the week.

Actually a little warmer than expected in WNY 20's and a little snow. Went on a 3.25 mile snow shoe this weekend. So great to be outdoors in the woods with the wife. Outstanding conditions and lots of fresh air! Saw 2 bluebirds at work today on my break (I walk outside on my short breaks) and last Friday saw a flock of 15 Robins picking at the crabapples! Starlings never left the area this winter (never a good thing) and actually saw a green Heron 2 weekends ago on another snow shoe walk. Spring has to be getting closer!

Were going to hit 10 below zero tonight and that does not include the wind chill factor. On Wednesday we will be having a heat wave. It's supposed to go up to 20 degrees.
