I have heat tape and insulation around my water pipe. Turns out the GFI was tripped so it froze, reset it and five minutes later water was running again. Was a close call for sure.
I hate those damn GFIs, I always forget which covers what area. And when my Christmas lights out front go out, I have to climb over a bunch of shit in my garage to press the little button on a socket that has no business being where it is, nor any relevance to its existence. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this house was built with spit and glue in 2000 and doesn't hold a candle to a 1940s ranch house.
You could change out the GFI to a regular receptacle. But you'll most likely have to buy a few more GFIs to cover what the one in the garage was protecting. If your fridge is GFI protected, change that out! You don't want to come home with a fridge full of spoiled food. It's pretty easy to change receptacles, a few minutes at YouTube University will make you a master of receptacle changeouts!
leave it running a bit too and open the doors under the sink to keep it warmer inside
Also dress in layers it will keep you warmer traps body heat inside, and if it gets to a point where you have no real heat source only for outside of course. There are lots of ways to make rocket stoves.
Thanks my friend. My house is well insulated and I have a home backup generator---hurricane prevention---The water froze in my outside tankless water heater. I spent an hour with a heat gun thawing it out. I did as you suggested and left the water dripping last night. No problem this am! :-)
That's awesome to hear my house is well insulated as well we have a heater in the basement that is put there to keep the pipes warm when it's this cold I turn it on when it's in the below zero range shut it off when it hits above zero again. it's an old trick our water used to freeze up all the time when I was a kid if it got really really cold.
No generator here, I have been shopping for one, need to figure out how to hook it up to my furnace if need be. But thankfully there hasn't been a power outage in my town since I moved here over 30 yrs ago except briefly this summer when a superstorm came through and tore down power lines. and a few trees n shingles.
I love the way POTUS lets this little geek puss go on about how they want to follow the science, then, POTUS 😁 it'll get cooler you just watch and laughed in his face, sucked what little testosterone that punk had right out of him.😏👏
Yep I'm in ND -25 tonight it's been like this all week. The coldest actual temps I remember were -58 and then -63 below when my daughter was in school.
Honestly, no disrespect to the "stay safe" crowd, but remember when winter was just winter? When we wore tank tops in the summer, light long sleeves in the fall, and sweaters & coats in the winter? You know, like common sense? Remember when the only storms with names were the ones that were barreling down with a ferocity and intense mission to destroy? Nowadays, we see these programmed peons on our TVs standing in front of green screens while interns operate a box fan & they concoct lies to feed to the public in the form of "news."
I’m in So Ca - we’ve been having freezing temps at night for the last few weeks - wake up to pool and spa running to prevent pipe freezing and I have several bird baths that are froze solid each morning. Then, starting yesterday our daytime temps are warm - today was high 70’s. BUT the night temps continue to drop to the low 30’s (Unusual for us)
He is the fucking boss. I been telling people this for about 6 years now. The sun determines the temperature in the planet - the Milankovitch cycles are aligning in such a way that we are going to be a teeny tiny bit further away from the sun for 20 years - meaning a mini-ice age is incoming. The famine in China is going to cause amazing uproar there - the stupidity of the cabal in constraining the West's ability to grow food is going to mean incredible hardship (piled on top of the destruction of the US, piled on top of the inflation, piled on top of rocketing interest rates, piled on top of the immigration Cloward-Piven strategy, piled on top of the energy crisis.
I fucking love Trump, he knows and this is going to be replayed over and over and over again like when he told those fucking cocksucker Germans that their gas dependence on Russia was going to cause problems for them.
And that fucking cunt at the end sneering "I wish the science agreed with you". Don't those fucking global warming cultists ever get tired of being always wrong?
Their subconscious automatically moves the goalpost. If theyre wrong then the years, maybe decades, of their lives following this garbage was for nothing. Their brain is protecting themselves from this uncomfortable truth
Love it "I don't think science knows"
GEOTUS the chad
They do, but it's not scary
I spent the morning in a -4 degree wind chill trying to unfreeze my water line---in MISSISSIPPI!!!!! We are not use to this! Come on Global Warming!
Yep. We spent all afternoon doing the same here.

I know the school well. I majored in laundry machine repair there once.

He said that like he knew the future, did he not? Very interesting
Future proves past statements.
Yes he did.
My wind-burnt face agrees with him.
I did watch that live.. I was like damn… Trump knows- he always knows 🤣
Trump knows we are headed into the mini iceage.
That, in a few years (it's been delayed a bit) mixed in with the receding magnetosphere.. will create spectacular and troublesome results.
-9 in Indianapolis today, -40 in Montana… that’s NOT wind chill/feels like. That’s actual temp.
Yep I'm in ND -25 tonight it's been like this all week. The coldest actual temps I remember were -58 and then -63 below when my daughter was in school.
Right here in Indy, the wind is blowing like crazy. We have heat and power, but damn it's still cold. Our wind chill is -26 below.

I pray that you and yours stay safe, fren.
That's definitely jumper weather. Stay safe Fren.
I need more details please. Can anyone find the article?
Grand solar minimum.

I’m in OC near the coast and it’s showing 78* for Christmas. I’ll take it 😎

It's not stupidity.
They KNOW what they are doing.
They are evil.
They are literal genocidal psychopaths.
Their subconscious automatically moves the goalpost. If theyre wrong then the years, maybe decades, of their lives following this garbage was for nothing. Their brain is protecting themselves from this uncomfortable truth

It's been in the low 40s in Phoenix for a month now and dipping into the mid-30s. This is not normal. It's 48f at the time of posting this.
That's what's causing Holiday Heart. Science.
